Generally speaking, as you get older, REM sleep becomes less prevalent. That's really all I know about that. |

I wonder what is the average age of most lucid dreamers. I am 43 and have had DILDS as long as i can remeber. I thought that everyone dreamed that way and it was no big deal. does the ability to lucid dream go away as you get older? For me it hasn't but i was curious what other people thought or experienced |

The Key is to combine your waking rational abilities with the infinite possibilities of your dreams, because if you can do that, you can do anything.
Lucid dreaming is for all ages in my opinion. I don't think there is really an average age. |

Need help? Don't feel like asking a question in the forum? Send me a PM!
I don't know what the average age of lucid dreamers is. I'm 29, and I'm pretty sure people of any age can lucid dream. |
|
i am glad there is such a wide range of ages. i have had many DILDS over my life before i knew what they were so i am hoping now that i know what they are i can have more of them. I have read some articles on WILD and have tried to use the info in them and i have had two LDs that i knew of and two that i remember being lucid but i don't remember the dream and this has been in the past two weeks. |
|
thanks my newbie was showing |
|
I agree with Matte87...dreams can be experienced by ANY age group. Dreams in my opinion are a window into the subconscious of your mind. The same reason the movie "Inception" was so popular was because EVERYONE could relate to it. |
|
I believe there was a poll about this a couple of weeks ago, I don't know where it went though ahhaha... |

Things I've done while Lucid:
- Flying - Dream Rewind and Fast Forward
- Invisibility - Shapeshifting - Grown Wings
- Summoning [mastered (?)] - Zip lining
- Fireball
I am 17 in my personal experience lucidity occured WAY more often when I was really young. All of my current lucid abilities were developed at around the age of 5 when almost every dream was either lucid or non lucid with a large amount of control and clarity. As Ive gotten older I havent had as many lucid dreams. I actually googled lucid dreaming to find a way to bring the frequency of them up and trhats how I found this forum. |
|
I accept that my reality is always a dream so if something changes I know I'm right.

i have been seeing an increase in younger people joining the site (Usually young adults 15 - 18). I think it actually more popular with younger people considering that most older people (40 - 60) have a set view on what the world is and what you can do, and from what I can tell dreams aren't really relevant to them because it's not a big deal, they come they go. |
|
Lucid dream goals:
1. Get into SP /Check
2. have a long LD
3: Fly
4: Have some epic battles with my childhood heroes and villians (DBZ)
i had about 12 natural ones since i was 4 so i dont think being young can hinder it in anyway however idk about when you get older |
|
im 40 and 3 months into lucid dreaming up until then i could barely remember a dream |
|
1----deild
8----dild
5----dield chain
16----1-2 second ,dilds
I'm 35 and have had lucids since a very young age. I never paid attention to them until about 5 years ago when I decided to start keeping a dream journal. Armed with some dream sign recognition, I currently have about 2-3 lucids per week. |
|
i did a search first to check if this had already been talked about and nothing came up |
|
Here's something related http://www.dreamviews.com/f16/offici...-thread-87211/ although it doesn't refer exclusively to lucid dreamers but users of the forum so you could have an idea. |
|
Most people on this forum is young 13-19. But LD is for everyone. But it seems like LD happens more in childhood. |
|
I was always a dreamer, in childhood especially. People thought I was a little strange.-Charley pride
you say most people are 13-19 but it seems to me at least most of the people posting here are in their 30s or 40s. Out of every forum I have ever joined this one really has the widest spread of ages which says to me that lucid dreaming has a much broader audience than something like gaming or technology. |

18 over here. I guess the really old people aren't too involved because this doesn't seem traditional to them, but of course age varies. |
|
I'm 15. I used to be able to always lucid dream when I was younger but I've lost the ability as I've gotten older. The main reason I joined this forum was to try and be able to again. |
|
Goals:
[X]Meet dream guide [X] Have better dream control [] lucid dream more often [X] Fly [] Share a dream with my friend [] Meet myself in a dream and talk
I read that young children have an easy time of it. I don't know why but it was true for me. There was a month or two when I was 11 that I had many lucid dreams without trying. I was sad when they stopped. About a year ago I learned you could induce them willingly and I've been able to have a few intentional LDs. I'm 24 (tomorrow.) |
|
It makes sense that people of all ages would be interested in lucid dreaming, because dreams are very personal experiences that you can do anything in, whatever of your age or other interests may be. |
