I just wanted people's opinion on the issue.

Do you think lucid dreaming is the normal way our bodies are supposed to work? Do you think our busy minds and stressful lives prevent most people from doing it without a lot of effort? I know that younger people LD more than adults, young children especially.

Or do you think that lucid dreaming is a trick we can play on our minds? Our willpower and mental powers of concentration being strong enough to break down our bodies normal separation of conscious/ unconscious?

I know that we are capable of it, so it must be natural. But I can't help but feel like I have to trick my brain into getting there.
