Thread: The perfect Lucid dreamer?

I wouldn't call it the perfect Lucid Dreamer but people can definitely achieve the things you describe and they don't have to be Spiritual or even deeply into Meditation or anything like that, it also doesn't have to take decades of practice.
I can Lucid Dream every night I try! (a bold claim I know).
95% of the Lucid's are truly detailed and vivid!
I pretty much always have complete waking consciousness, full control over my actions and a lot of control over the Dream, though sometimes not as much as others (like Sivason says) in the occasional Lucid I can't even fly!
My average Lucid Dream has gone up from around 1-2 minutes in the beginning to around 10-15 minutes now, which in a Lucid is longer than it sounds.
I still have a way to go on this front though, as I'd like to be getting 20 minutes+ on a regular basis.

I only started trying to Lucid Dream on the day I joined this Forum, so coming up to 2 years now.
I had never done any Mediation or anything like that, though have been using simple Meditation breathing techniques for a while now to help get Lucid.
I had also had a handful of Lucid Dreams as a child, but always woke within a minute at most.

I believe achieving nightly Lucid Dreams with great clarity and control boils down to a few things....
Having excellent Dream recall, by this I mean remembering 4+ Vivid, or at least quite Vivid Dreams a night.
A strong determination to achieve.
Finding exactly what techniques work best for you.
Lastly, Luck! By that I mean some degree of Natural ability.
from what I've read, some people just take to Lucid Dreaming like a Duck to Water, where others can be truly dedicated and still struggle.

That's not to say that people without these things can't become regular Lucid Dreamers though, they definitely can!
Just in my opinion what greatly helps one archive Lucidity on a nightly basis!

@Darkmatters: I guess I never had a problem with the fact that almost all of reality had been explored already, since as already stated I early in life had decided that reality is way less interesting than imagination both mine and other people's, so I did not care whether people had mostly charted reality already, since imagination retained plenty of unchartered territories to explore

Well, I didn't expect that anyone else had had the exact same experiences as me - I was just bringing up a couple of specific incidents to illustrate the general topic, of the type of awareness that Sageous is saying is important for lucidity. I definitely went through some profound adjustments to my awareness - not of myself but of my relation to the world - at around 10 to 12 years of age. After that I'd say the big adjustments were over and there were just a few smaller ones as I went through adolescence into adulthood. But that was my main point anyway - that kids aren't at an adult level of awareness until somewhere in that vicinity - again doubtless with a wide variance for different individuals. Some people might be done with those big adjustments by an earlier age, some maybe not till sometime in high school.

But I don't really have an opinion on whether a fully adult level of awareness is necessary for lucidity, or for high level lucidity, since I haven't experienced it anywhere near as much as Sageous and Sivason. Only maybe 2 of my lucids would qualify as a high level of awareness - maybe really only 1. And I'm sure that one would seem pretty low compared to the things they've experienced. In fact, until having my highest level lucid I thought my other ones were what lucid dreaming was all about - I didn't realize how much more intense it got until I experienced it for myself. So I wonder how much more I have yet to experience?
