Thread: Is it possible to become 'Natural'?

I guess that's tibetean dream yoga. But I doubt the monks use Dreams to play in fantasy worlds.

By natural it is usually discovering lucid dreaming naturally - with no prevous knowledge of lucid dreaming.

By your suggestion, you are mearly asking is it possible to enter DILDs better, more often?

Kind of, yeah Adam! That's right. I didn't think of that.

Practice, practice, and more practice.

Dream Yoga is the only method I'm aware of that claims to bring you into a state of continuous consciousness.

It requires a lifetime of continuous commitment, I understand.

Living consciously throughout the day and deep meditation are good factors in my experience. Also psychological well-being.

I think any effort to become a "natural" would be more then the effort to become lucid through techniques. Not to mention give less predictable results.

No.

Being a Natural LDer, by it's very definition, means that dreams happem naturally - without and artificial means of induction.

That's not to say you can't be better than a natural through induction methods. Dream yoga seems to be the closest to what your looking for, though I can't really help you with that.

Don't worry, I'll use Google.

This question invokes me, that you think natural is better.... Doesnt have to be. Harder path, more enjoyment with results.

I would say being a natural is better because:

• You get to experience lucid dreams from a lot younger age, since you have them naturally, you don't wait to discover them later in life through the internet or reading.
• I find it easy to practice other techniques; I am sure this is because I am fully aware of lucid dreaming and the experience I have with them over time has allowed me to adapt my approach to lucid dreaming
• Frequency of lucid dreams, seems to be higher in natural lucid dreamers.

I am sure there are other points I could pick up on. Lucid dreaming in general is an amazing thing, and personally if you are a good lucid dreamer, regardless of being a natural or not, then what is the point in splitting hairs?

I would rather be an amazing lucid dreamer than an okay natural lucid dreamer!

Like a picture in the fact that if you put more effort into it, it will be better?

Oh and may I ask, how long did it take for you too lucid, Adam?

I could control my dreams and be lucid even before I knew what it was... All I knew was "I probably shouldn't 'blab' about this gift..."

With most things (such as musical instruments) being a natural only gives you a slight advantage and it still requires the same hard work as a non-natural. I'm not sure this applies to natural lds though. If they get alot of them anyway then they seem to be better. Where it could differ is that a non-natural lder might be better able to spawn things or change dream settings or specific things like that.
