Natural is something you are born with. So if you are not born with it, you can't accrue it later on. |

Question on the title. |

I think it's what some people call Natural Lucid Dreamers, and they don't mean if you are born with the ability but you learned to naturally do it. |
|
I call natural lucid dreamer a person, who comes here on DV and says, that he had these types of dreams all his life, never knew the name of it, obviously never practiced, and was surprised do hear, that not everybody dreams the same way. |

So, the definition for natural lucid dreamers has nothing to do with the frequency of lucid dreams they have but the way they've learned to do it. The frequency comes form the practice, the more you exercise the skill, the better you are on it, whatever the way you learned to do it. |
|
Are you talking about whether they are awake and daydreaming? Or are you talking about whether or not they are awake in the dream? |
|
Im just going to stick with the actual thread question- |
|
I have heard that for some people all it takes is finding out that lucid dreaming is possible, and so then they just do it. Would that be "become a natural lucid dreamer"? |
|
I'll be using this definition for the sake of my topic: |

You may be right or you may be wrong. I do not know. |

^^ I think Zoth is completely correct. |
|
Is a natural lucid dreamer not just someone who occasionally got lucid while still a child, regardless of before or after knowing what it was and became good at it? |
|
No I think Blackfox meant to say that. I took that to mean that we're actually becoming awake to our essential reality, or closer to it at least. I don't know what you guys believe about the afterlife, but I believe it will be similar in nature to lucid dreaming, in that it involves exploring the visionary worlds. That, in turn, would be our true essence, or reality. So with that in mind, when we are lucid dreaming, we are finally becoming awake to our true forms. Well, at least it's closer than this world of illusion we find ourselves in now! |

What do we mean by 'natural' here? Do these people who have always had lucid dreams, not sought them, are surprised to find their ability is a rare thing, have some kind of genetic predisposition, is it advantageous to lucid dream for natural selection? |

I just posted this on another thread but it seems relevant here also. |

If you only have the skills to do so you can experience anything you can imagine as real.
@Lucidit; the point is to question natural as a concept. We all know what it means, but how does that definition actually stand up? You should ask yourself what it means. |
