I have only lucid dreamed once, and it was by accident…it was one of those dreams that was too farfetched to be seen as a dream so I knew it was a dream and was able to take the reigns. It has not happened since.
My family has always had a skill with ESP in one way or another, whether it be by intuition or other means, and I have had similar experiences…mainly in my dreams. I would dream of an event, and when that event occurs I am hit with an extreme feeling of Deja Vu, so much it feels like I am going to fall on my ass. For example, I dreamed I would come home to see my home on fire. My brother stayed with me the next week, and smelled something hot, pulled out the dish washer and it was sparking.
I have been having dreams that share similar patterns to the dreams that cause the deja vu feelings, and they are shaking me up.
The most common one is me running through the fields with a gun in my hands, not in army fatigues but civilian clothing and people screaming behind me “Catch the traitor!”
now on to my question, is it possible to use LD to trigger these dreams and find a focus within them, say find the date, if its me in the dreams, etc.
You know, I’m not very knowledgeable in lucid dreaming so I can’t really help you answer the question you have about triggering old dreams…but I think its possible. After achieving the state of lucidness in your dreams, try to imagine your environments similar to the dream you want to ‘relive’. It could work and if it does ask your dream characters anything. Personally, I never was able to try this but I am dying to because there are some dreams that I can clearly remember and I would love to continue the dream.
Well you see, mainstream science will tell you that this is not possible, enthusiast will tell you that is possible.
The thing with such topics is that they are still taboo, for one or another reason. There are many people that will tell you that they experienced such things and they may be right or they may be wrong.
When it comes to dreams you again have the same discussion, are dreams only and strictly connected to a body and mind or they happening outside the body.
There are too many unanswered questions in this topics to say with guarantee whether is possible or not.
Don’t take this the wrong way but from my point of view your experience can be explained in 2 ways:
what you experienced is real, in your reality ESP is existing and it is possible.
you are experiencing normal every day things but because you always had contact with ESP things: [spoiler]My family has always had a skill with ESP in one way or another, whether it be by intuition or other means, and I have had similar experiences…mainly in my dreams.[/spoiler] you see them and interpret them as something we call ESP, but they could be nothing more then a coincidence…
My personal believe is that is possible. At least to some point. But I don’t know much about it and I can’t tell and even if I can it’s still not proved by science and more interestingly it’s rejected by the science due to lack of evidence, scientific evidence…
So again it’s all about your own believe and interpretation of the things…
