How come the brain doesn't rewrite itself to have permanent lucid dreams after stopping a certain technique? |

Without sounding like a professional, which I most certainly am not... actually, seeing as you mention 'naturals' I feel like I am still qualified to answer this to a degree seeing as in my early childhood I was natural. |

I suppose it's more like a sport than just a natural thing. E.g Olympic runners always have to try hard to win a race, they don't just learn how to run fast and then it happens all the time. |

If you learn how to WILD then you don't need to do anything during the day, you can just WILD whenever you feel like lucid dreaming |
|
Yeah but even that is limited... |

You know there are people in this forum that lucid dream everyday (i think they don't practice as before or at all). Maybe i am wrong. I dont know. |

I think it's not the techniques themselves that cause lucidity but the state of mind. The “muscle” to train to become lucid consistently is this state of mind of always being aware of what one's state is (waking life, dreaming), that they exist and are present, etc. Like other talents and abilities, this can take a lot of time (years) to fully develop. Eventually, over a period of time, the frequency of lucid dreams gradually rises further and further. The “natural” lucid dreamers probably happened to develop this mindset in their lives, perhaps without really realizing it, which makes it seem as if it is effortless to them. In fact, like with other abilities, once it becomes second-nature enough due to constant long-term practice, it actually does start to feel rather effortless after a while! You don't really have to be a natural to reach that point, but you do need a strong motivation and patience to keep at it every day over the long haul (not just a month or two), regardless of how well or poorly it seems to be going at the time. |
