That is me too, there is just so much info...

i wouldnt want to be a natural cuz i then wouldnt of bothered looking up dreaming and coming to this site and learning about LDing. i probaly wouldnt appreciate it as much either. On the other hand it would be nice to have a huge head start on dream control.

I'm a natural, and I have fun every time. I don't take it for granted at all. Trust me, LDs never get any less fun the more you have. Having them pretty much every night has made me an expert at maintaining lucidity, clarity and all that. Plus, I've had plenty of time to master basic skills such as flying, summoning things, scenery changes, etc. Now I don't have to waste dream time practicing that stuff, I can just have fun or learn more advanced techniques.

Not to mention, I don't have to worry about Dream Journals or RC's.

But props to anyone who tries to attain it by practicing. It's definetley worth the work

You have it easy.

Holy Shit! thats like a LD a year, you must be doing something wrong

It really doesn't matter if you're a natural or not IMO, if you're on DV for a while every day for a couple months you're gonna get a lot of LDs at some point. If that doesn't work, there's always B6

I belive that anything in life is sweeter when you have to work hard for it. Saving up money for a certain item or finishing a long school paper is always more rewarding when you dont cheat or have things handed to you. Im not saying naturals are cheaters but im guessing when they figured out what LD's were and that they could easily have them, they were excited. On the other hand I havent yet had a LD and im trying hard to even just learn to remeber my dreams. I know when i have my first LD I'll wake up remembering my LD and go CRAZY and be so extremely happy that I finaly accomplished my goal.

I know that there are many huge goals that natural's have to work hard to accomplish but I someday hope to also acomplish those goals and i feel that i will have a greater respect and appreciation for knowing that all the hard work I had to put in even to just remember all my dreams.

...im sorry if I haven't made much sense

I have about 1 or 2 (if I'm very very lucky 3) lucid dreams a week without really doing anything to accomplish this. I came here to increase dream control mostly, because these dreams are often very short. But now I'm really trying to succeed doing a WILD.

Still, not being a natural LD'er has its advantages too. It just feels good to finally have a lucid dream after a lot of work (I had a dry spell so I more or less know what it feels like )

wow

If I were you I'd try WILD because DILDs don't seem to be taking you anywhere.
