To Ninjahedgewych,
Dear sir, I have been having lucid dreams for 15 years.Out of those.7 or 8 years of terror nitemares,where all my family is mostly part of these dreams except my mother.
I have seen myself naked holdind the door handle,as I was coming out of the shower.I also seen the full ceremony of my seppuko twice,totally identical.
I too am a Atheist,but by my readings ,I beleive in an afterlife.
With the outmost respect
