There is no evidence there is any genetic relation to lucid dreaming, get some or get out.

Lol, there is no ignorance in my post, or any of my posts for that matter. Just a little heads up for you. You just told me that EVERYONE you know has become naturally lucid before. I am sorry, but that is a wild assumption. Plain and simple.

And I used my 5 year old cousin as an example, so I don't know what you mean by a 12 year old, as I never mentioned one.

If a child's mom tells them "dreaming doesn't exist", the child will believe that, and defend what his mom told him for forever and a day, because that's his mom and she has to be right. That's a belief being set in the curious child who had to ask a question to receive the response that shaped the belief in the first place. It's not that the child isn't naturally curious, it's that his curiosity has already been met with an answer from a trusted source of information, which creates the belief and removes the curiosity from that particular subject.

You guys have got to stop using these words... "all, everyone, every, everybody." Didn't you guys learn that in school. Not all children think imaginary things are real. Ever since I first heard the story of Santa Claus I knew it wasn't real. I never believed it once. I was around 3 years old, questioning every hole in the Santa Claus story. I may have been in the minority, but I guarantee there are plenty of other children just like that. Not all children believe that a fat man in a red suit flys reindeer around the world to every single house in a single night. I knew how long it took to get from point A to B. I road in many a car as a child. I have never saw this "magic" everyone spoke of. I was the kid who ruined the thumb removal trick for everybody. I guarantee I wasn't the only one either. I was forced to go to church from an early age, but I was never an actual believer. Even as a child. Just because you are a child doesn't mean you are unintelligent. Surely, you understand this?

For the record, if you use "every," "all," or any variation of these, 99% of the time, you are wrong in your statement.
