Thread: Questions on WILD/WBTB technique

On another note altogether, does age play a role in the success of lucid dreaming? I'm about to turn twenty, and figured I would be one of the younger members on this forum, but have noticed that many children, age 13-15, seem to be common on the forum and often quite successful. Does the ability to lucid dream diminish as one moves past childhood, or can it be maintained well into adulthood?

Being in my 46th year and having been focused on LDing for just over a year and making steady progress - I feel age is not much of an issue

The main thing seems to be making the time in ones " present moment " life to immerse oneself wholeheartedly and genuinely enough in the practice ...that's the balancing trick ...not how old or young you are
