Well, I kind of started naturally when I was 3. I was going through this terrible insomnia spell, & would stay up until 1AM in the morning. I would just stay wide awake on the couch watching TV until I was able to WILD my way to sleep at all! In fact, b4 I had it mastered, I wasn't able to control my LDs (I did know I was dreaming, 100% sure, b/c I would remember that I was having insomnia b4 & that I was trying to fall asleep), & I would often wake up every hour either sick to the stomach or in SP (I wasn't frightened at all) until I was 4, but I still enjoyed them despite that, though I knew nothing about LDing exactly until my sister told me a year ago!! So I was clueless about my LDs, even when I did start, b/c I was so young.
