Good thread :-)

Good intentions!

Intention is key.

I'm lucky to be natural lucid dreamer.
Often wondered why.
Nature/ Nurture?
Bit of both :-)
This is where I could get waffly...
so here goes with a short reply:

When actively focussing on Lucid Dreaming and being in a living situation that nurtures it, I LD alot.
Hard to separate out the different dream induction techniques I use, they kinda blur.
Easy WILDs, WBTB and spontaneous DILDs (the result of waking intention and mindset)
At those times its like all dreams are lucid, but you sometimes get to choose HOW lucid.

I think intention is vital - casual or targeted.
I'm obsessive / hyper-focussed about things that excite me - and I think that helps.
I'm a dreamer generally - waking and sleeping.
I question reality and imagine how things could be different/ better - a lot!
Keeping a dream diary seems to show the quieter parts of the mind that you are listening, and the mind replies "Oh that's great! Lets get to work/ have some fun."
Once lucidity becomes easy, you can play with it by e.g. changing the conditions of the dream, then dropping down a level or two to explore/ play/ learn without 'cheating'...
E.g. a dream of walking around a gallery of your own art work becomes a very different experience, lucid or unconscious.
Is fighting and devouring the monster the same achievement with God-like lucidity or when simply dreaming and finding deep courage?

It goes without saying that Lucidity can be a mind-blowingly fun, astoundingly creative and fabulously fruitful learning experience.
However, and I know I shouldn't complain, it can be tiring!

I've had a rest though (dry patch) and I'm visiting DV because I want to get into it again :-D

Good luck and intentions to y'all
