I always had Lucid Dreams, but they were far less frequent as a kid. They came naturally maybe once a week. In high school they were almost entirely gone, replaced by really intense non-lucid dreams, and now in college I have about 3 or 4 lucid dreams a week. If I try at it, I can have a lucid every night, but that usually messes me up in the waking life. I get really exhausted, and then my dreams for the next week usually aren't as strong.



So anyway, I think that a person's LD's probably depend on how hard he or she is trying to have an LD. Maybe naturally occurring LD's come easy to children, but I don't think LD's in general have anything to do with how old a person is.

As a kid you believe you can do anything in your dreams. If you maintain those sentiments as an adult, you shouldn't have any sort of problem.
