Great info. I was looking for more information on dream yoga experiences, trying to figure out some of the experiences I've been having. Thank you so much!

thanks, awesome discussion! Lucid Dreaming remains one of the most increadable phenomena available to us in this existence. If only all the folks obsessed with virtual reality realized this!

I really wish I could figure out how to do it on command. I’ve had a bunch of lucid dreams but I can never put my finger on how I end up doing it.

I went through major depression panic attack last year. Doctor prescribe me Setra (sertaline) 50mg Clopramin 25 and Mitrazin (mirtazapine) 15 mg. Both two times per day. I dream everyday. Normal dream or nightmare. Its killing my sleep quality. At morning i woke up exhausted. Doctor told me it Will slowly bring back your sleep quality. Anyone facing same problem?
