Something hit me today as I was driving with my friend. We somehow got on the topic of dreaming (whoops? Was that my influence? ) and we talked about Lucid Dreaming. She said that she could do LDs by will, which didn't surprise me because she is extremely intelligent and usually beats me to anything I try to do. But I digress. |

Hmm....doesn't seem right....

Goals: [] Dance in the street to the Pepsi Song | [] Run in slow motion to Chariots of Fire
DILD: 1
WILD: -
I'm a genius, but I don't think that makes a difference. |

I'll keep checking around for more ways to measure this awareness during the day as opposed to at night. If all else fails, and I have the time, I might just write up a survey to determine if there is a connection. Right now I just wanted to share this idea, to see if perhaps this is why some people can naturally LD and others can not. |

I say it's brain wiring. Plain and simple. |

I don't call quickly 7 months. (And a long 7 months they were...) But like I said, I think it's the way each person's brain is wired. Everything counts; A brain may be hard wired to have LD's naturally, while others have to learn. But the wiring also may effect how long it takes, the frequency... |

The fact that we still don't even know what dreams are is what makes me super hesitant to say anything about these things being hardwired. Some people learn overnight. Some people learn in a year. It took me four+ years before I found DV and I just didn't have the right resources so I was squandering time. Once I did, it took a matter of weeks to get a steady frequency. I don't know if I'd call that hardwiring. |

I'd say it's connected more to imagination and awareness as traits. Since people can learn to lucid dream you have to conclude that it's a skill. Anyone can learn a skill provided they are physiologically capable, and some are faster at learning certain things than others. I'd say people with high imagination and high awareness would be able to learn to lucid dream more readily, primarily because a high imagination would lead to more surreal dreams which may help in becoming aware that you are dreaming. |

I started the survey here: http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...57#post1009957. I would love to hear what you think and any way it can be improved. |

I think it is entirely too subjective and, like I said before, what you consider 'intelligent' just... is not adequate enough by my standards. |

I don't think intelligence has something to do with it, other than the "how to" of course. Also, the only way to test is with naturals, as anyone can learn to have lucids, it doesn't matter if the ones who seek and/or achieve it are or not intelligent lol |
|
I think it is not ridiculous to assume intelligence MAY have a say in LDing. At least, having intelligence can aid you in the learning process, and thus make it easier to learn how to LD. |
|
Which brings up the question of what is the LD rate of those who understand LDing so much that they grow tedious of this section of the site because they think they know everything thing about it. |
