Thread: Can LD Die With Age?

You said it yourself: "Without trying". As long as you cultivate the ability throughout your life, you will be fine.

hm.. i will try to speak your way.. ld can die with consciousness... if you become drunk.. you will not remember anything..if you will get more and more conscious..anytime, about anything.. you will start remembering dreams.. someday you will remember that you dream.. and then..

I had my first lucid dream after the first time i got drunk! Explain that with your crazy analogies!

yeah I think it's much easier to learn to LD from a young age- then again it's easier to learn almost anything from a young age. I'm sure it's possible to learn later- I had my first LD this year and I'm 20. I think it could be something different- I think old people might have a few LD's here and there, but since the older one person is then the less connected and informed of new technologies he is as well- if a 70 year old woman suddenly had an LD do you think she'd google it? she'd probably tell a few of her friends and they'd have a nurse prescribe her some medication or tell her to pray or something

I am 51 years old, occasionally lucid dreams, and last night experienced my first lucid dream since joining this forum. It is a matter of putting DILD and WILD, Reality Checking, etc, techniques into practice. If one's short term memory recall is still functioning, I believe it is possible to learn - including lucid dreaming skills.

The older you get the less REM sleep you tend to have.
Thats why old people often have trouble sleeping.
So yeah, I'd say it could get more difficult..but not impossible.

Do we have any older lucid dreamers on the forum?
Would be interesting to hear from them.
I often get the feeling most are high schoolers.
