Thread: Natural Lucid Dreaming?

I don't think a 'natural' exists, I think it's just luck. For example someone has been having lucid dreams since childhood. Often this is after facing his nightmares and realizing he can influence his dreams and you know how it goes from there. This is just luck, many kids go through their childhood without the strength and/or knowledge to face their nightmares and become lucid. Sometimes a person just has the good circumstances to have a long and good quality sleep, increasing the chances for lucidity. Some are just bored during waking life and have 2 or 3 exciting dreams and they focus on their dream lives because that's where they get excited. And as they go deeper and deeper into their dream world they eventually discover lucidity and you know the rest. Or perhaps you hear a story from someone, a movie or a from a book and that sparks your imagination, you see them back in your dreams and it draws your attention, you keep on dreaming about it and eventually you get lucid somehow and if being aware in a dream somehow gets your attention you start thinking about it and somehow you get better and better at it. Or you see a hot girl somewhere that is way out of your reach, you see her in a dream, somehow realize you're dreaming and decide to hump her while you have the chance. This way you discover lucidity and so on. Or you meditate a lot or think deeply about the meaning of life or about reality and stuff like that, making you more aware, increasing your chance of lucidity. If you look at it that way, discovering an article or video on the internet or coming across someone who tells you about lucid dreaming and teaches you how to do it is not so different as randomly becoming aware of your dream. They both happen by chance, not because of a certain predisposition.

See? There are so many possibilities you can 'naturally' discover lucid dreaming. Everybody is a 'natural' lucid dreamer. It wouldn't be possible in the first place if lucid dreaming was not natural. Humans are lucid dreamers by nature. You might argue with it by asking 'Then why are we unconscious in most dreams and do we have to work for lucidity?' How the hell should I know?? I just know that if lucid dreaming was unnatural we wouldn't be able to become conscious during dreams no matter what we did.

So don't be bothered by things such as talent. I really hate the word talent. We are all humans and if a human has done a certain thing it is because of time and effort.
