I’ve always wondered if using powers in LD taxes your lucidity. I had LDs were, after flying or passing through walls, I would be bumped down to a ND or just fadeout
, and I’ve also suspected the Spinning Technique as some sort of LD drain
(-:. Even when the spinning technique returns visuals, the dream is typically dull in appearance and sensations
.
Lately in my meditations, I’ve been frustrated by swaying focus and falling asleep during visualisation attempts :@#$!:. I hardly get any images these days, only the same old nebulous swirl, so I used interrupted sleep last night, 02:30 hours, then wake, then 02:30 hours more, and so on. My dream recall was more vivid
.
This is my last and clearest dream recall: I dreamt I was in a town square. With curiosity and expectation , I used my powers
to rip planks and some beams away from the ground by gesturing with my right palm. The underground was exposed and I watched the lava flow beneath with intrigue. The town people were distressed so I used my powers to repair the damage. I was tired but I repaired some other parts of the town too. The people were very grateful
. There was a problem room in a building and I just couldn’t fix it. I told them and I heard them discussing it when a female said, “it’s damp, he’s too exhausted”. Then I woke without transition
, eyes closed. I tried a FA test by seeing if I could see through my closed eyelids
, but no such luck. I was quite awake
.
I wonder if , even though I had spent all night trying to catch the moment, using powers impeded my lucidity through some sort of Dream or Lucid Tax
.
