Lucid dreaming in older generations?

I believe all people have some kind of lucid dream. If you ask someone if they had a nightmare and they tryed everything on that dream to wake up... that was a lucid dream. They knew they were dreaming, didn't like it and tryed some technique to wake up. It happened to me when i was a young boy, it happens to my father and even happens today to my grandmother.
But today, we have more and new experiences because of the internet, tv, radio and all the knowledge and discussions that are happening. This forum is a great example of how we can discuss this subject in an easy way with people around the world. The old generation didn't have those things.
I didn't knew about the name Lucid Dream and all the techniques and experiences we can have until last year. The old generation think it's a normal dream. They only had books about the meaning of dreams, nothing more. Dreaming was not a curious and exciting subject that it is today.

Well I tried to explain. Didn't just asked them if they had LD. Yea it is possible that they never paid attention to it.
