I've been wondering lately how to go about encouraging this ability at as young an age as possible. It would seem, that for many here, the ability to lucid dream as a child was a spontanious occurance either in the realization of a nightmare or other random dream and has been something much more easily obtainable as a skill in the future or as a life long ability.

I imagine that the direct act of encouraging this and with plenty of confidence would manifest itself in an incredibly useful ability to communincate with the subconcious, aid greatly in visualization and abstract problem solving, and to be a more creative and healthier person resulting maybe in less dangerous repression that childhood brings.
