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?
