Thank you for listening to All Aboard The Dream Train!! A one of a kind dream storytelling podcast.

In this episode my guest Nathan is an avid lucid dreamer, Ultimate Frisbee enthusiast and has a passion for renewable energy. Our paths would not have crossed without his friend sharing a poster that I had put up around town. So many many thanks to that friend for thinking of Nathan and taking action!

• Nathans says his first experience of lucid dreaming came from waking up in the middle of the night for needing to hit the bathroom or his inhaler for his asthma and then falling back to sleep. He explains that waking up and grounding himself in the conscious world and then going back to sleep helps him become lucid and remember his dreams.
• In his first dream he explains how influential his grandpa was in his life. Nathan realized he was lucid while in in his yard at his childhood home in Wisconsin and begins to fly around the back yard and tress as he naturally does when he's lucid. He confronts his grandpa after entering his childhood home and touches hands and Nathans consciousness explodes. He enters a state of ultimate awareness and no longer has a body or senses. His awareness is based on all of his memories with his grandpa in a blink of an eye. He awakes screaming, sweating and panting and describes a feeling of comfort and a overall feeling of "everything being okay"
• Nathan then describes a very tough period in his life due to the loss of a childs life beyond anyones control. Years of being in a dark place and feeling guilt are instantly washed away after he receives a message from the boy that passed away after entering a dark room accessed from a trap door that was opened up in an open body of water. "That was the only person that could tell me that, and have me believe them."

I cannot thank you enough for sharing these stories with us!! Nathan says cherish your life and Learn to love and cherish your life and opportunities we get to make memories. Nothing else really matters in the end. You can reach
