Before knowing what lucid dreaming was, I would often have lucid dreams on the weekend because I would easily sleep 12 hours. This was probably 2 years ago. Lucidity would always be attained from me being naked in public, which was one of my biggest fears. I didn't have control, since I never knew you could actually control dreams, but it was pretty cool swearing at people who were laughing at me for being nude
Unfortunately the weekend would usually be the only time I remembered dreams. My recall was about 8 a month. About twice I had Back-To-Back (one on Saturday morning, one on Sunday morning) lucid dreams. I loved having them.

Eventually, as I got older, I started going to sleep later and forcing myself to wake up early. My original fear of being naked in public dwindled, as I realized how stupid it was. No more LD's, and my recall fell down to 4 dreams a month.

One fatefull night, I realized one thing I always wanted to do, control my dreams. I've always wanted to do it, but didn't know for sure if it was possible, and I never had the initiative to find the info. Well, at around 10, 11 PM on a school night of course, I was up on my computer. I searched google for "Learn to Control your Dreams" and DreamViews was the first thing. The first night again I had 0 recall, but the second I had a spontaneous lucid dream, where I had a little bit of control (partially managed to change the dream scene with dream spinning). A week later, another lucid hit, again spontaneous. A week later, another lucid, this time from realizing something was wrong. I managed a lucid a week, until August, where I usually managed 2 lucids in 3 nights. Most of my lucids had no control, but now I can do basic things like summon objects. My recall is about 2 dreams a night.

I'm no natural at dream control, but I'm pretty sure I'm a slight natural at getting lucid (whatever, it's negated by the fact that my mind needs to wander to fall asleep which limits most techniques, lack of control, it takes a long time to fall asleep, and lack of vividness).
