Yup, I'm a natural lucid dreamer.
I didn't realize I could control them until I read a book, though.
Bet that was cool, finding out a new technique to upgrade the ability you have. :)Quote:

It would be interesting to do a poll on how easily people could control their first lucids.Quote:

I'm not a natural.
I don't envy them, though.
I've always had major issues with control, no idea why. I'd have really long lucids, but I never did anything in them, just sort of went with the flow.Quote:

I tried to talk to my friend, who refused that we were in a dream. So I grabbed him by the wrist and we started flying.Quote:

I do, although all the effort that I have to make to LD and the infrequency of my lucid dreams make them even more special. I'd still rather be having them every few days with little or no effort.Quote:

Yea i i've naturally had lucid dreams all my life before I found this website. I even had WILDS without knowing what they were, but this website still helped me understand more.
before i knew what lucid dreaming was, i would have them like once every 7-10 days. i did not even use RCs i just knew i was dreaming. but all i would do was go for the bootay:hump: (pope did not like this:nono::pope:). then one day someone told me that it was called lucid dreaming. so i googled it, found this, and a few days later i joined. since then with WILDs i have close to 1 LD a night. and now i do cooler things with them. :D does that make me a natural? but this threads definition, i guess so.
I'm a natural. I still make no effort to LD and I get them once a week or more. If I try I can usually get one every other day at the minimum.
For all of you who have LDs without even trying, or who can drastically increase the frequency with minimal effort... how good is your control? Could you describe your typical LD, so we can get an idea of the skill level that goes along with naturally-induced lucid dreams?
My control is as good as I need it to be. As for typical LD, I usually take a long walk. Maybe fly for a while. Just see the sights. If I have a certain dreaming goal I will work on that. I am also highly in tune with my subconscious when LDing, so if I feel that I must do something than I do that. It's hard to explain. I rarely do any active control anymore (e.g. blowing things up, killing DCs) instead I just do what I feel like doing. Now that I'm thinking about it I need some new dream goals. . .Quote:

I'd say I'm a natural lucid dreamer ... but that doesn't include the control part (which i need to work something out to achieve)
I think I'm a natural lucid dreamer, in terms of I lucid dreamed when I was younger and randomly without the prior habit of reality checks or induction techniques.
Doesn't mean I'm any good at LDing in general though, lol. :D
I think the "natural" way to lucid dream is Dream Induced Lucid Dreams, though, I deem everything natural as long as it's not a drug or visual/audio outside influence (dream masks, etc) - as long as you can achieve it with your own mind without added substances or direct outside influences, I think it is defined as natural.
naturals....luckly ass people, you dont know what you have. honestly what i would do to be able to jump from normal to natural, dam. to me becoming a natural would be as exciting as getting photographic memory over night. but I'll have to work for it.
Hey, you shouldn't be so angry. By your signature saying you have 11 LDs you should be happy, some people can't get one!Quote:

I've been lucid dreaming for 5 months now? 11 lucids in 5 months is way below my target not to mention they've been only minutes long. i need to try harder if I'm going to get good at this.
Blagh :( Try ~ 7 (only two real) in TWO YEARS!! :(Quote:
