Hi everyone. I used to become lucid very often when I was young even without any special technic. I learned a few methods from here and it helped in the beginning. Now I feel that aging is a lucid dream enemy at least for me. Has this happen to anyone here ? Any advice ? Thank you

In my case, it seems to have more to do with wake world responsibility than age. It's always a challenge to get lucid while employed. Or when I'm in a relationship. Or during times of heavy community involvement. Dreaming and lucid dreaming are like a hobby or personal interest. One of my interests is writing. I wrote a lot when younger. Had the time and space to enjoy it. But as responsibilities piled on I lost touch with it. Now writing is not so easy or even enjoyable as it used to be but I still like it. I schedule time every day to simply write. Just the same with dreaming. Schedule time every day to engage in dreaming in any capacity. It will come back. I quickly amped up my recall and started lucid dreaming again after joining this site. It was part of my 'engage in dreams daily' goal for myself.
Aging only is a plus for lucid dreaming. you get more exprecianes
I don't know how much experience you have with LD'ing, but I have taken a more casual approach while still experiencing many lucid dreams weekly. I get zero DILDs, only success with WBTB and SSILD. I sleep normally 90% of the night, doing maybe 3 RCs daily. If I wake up 2-2.5 hr in the early morning (7:30pm) I will do an induction (wbtb, ssild) for 20 min) and get pretty good results. Takes a little bit of effort to fall back to sleep, but when I let go, I can drift into a lucid dream consistently
