Thread: How Many Natural LDers

Notives and Amateurs are the same thing, it's all about if you're a Natural or not.

Being natural is granted to all of us what we should ask is, how do we unlock our potential to it? woops im an unatural dreamer.

I'm not a natural, but after you get used to lucid dreaming they come pretty quickly.

Yeah. I was thinking novice for someone who is brand new, amateur for someone who is developing the skill and has a small amount of it, the natural as someone who never had to work at it. That's only skill-wise. I've got an exam tomorrow, I haven't got the time/energy to try to figure out how to classify when you started LDing

Hmm, a flattering definition you've got... you must have a fan

I'm surprised at how many natural LDers there are on here, but I suppose that is a much larger proportion than in real life. 37%, that really is a lot.

I'm natural for more than 20 years but not too often. I found dreamviews a couple of weeks ago and knew that it is possible what I was looking for, so I'm trying to get LD's more frequently but nothing by now, although there were a lot of signs inside, I didn't realize as well!! I know I'm getting closer, and then... may be I will start a dream Journal...

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 (pope did not like this). 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. 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?

Been lucid dreaming naturally since I can remember as a kid. I even did some WILDs as a kid when it was nap time, and this is scary as hell.

Usually once or twice a month. without trying.

Over the last few years I've been practicing the techniques, and get around 6 LDs a month now.

I could probably get more if I was more diligent, but I've been experimenting getting more LDs without doing the hard work (suppliments, easy techniques etc...) which is a job within itself.

I definitely don't consider myself a natural, but every week or so, I have an LD, and just by using autosuggestion for about a minute before going to bed. I just seem to randomly have them (DILD), although going to bed around 10, and *knowing* that I will wake up later than normal (around 8), seems to induce me to have them more often.

About flying: In non-lucid dreams, I can do it fine, but in lucid dreams, all I get is low gravity. It's probably because I can't fathom the ability to fly while being aware.

psh I wish.

I must say though, i'm surprised that the majority on this poll voted no, only because i expected mostly the natural LDers to even look on this thread. oh well... now I can go on with my business being jealous of the naturals.

I had a lucid dream last night! and my control was 100%. So now which definition do we use? That makes me a non-naturally-induced, but naturally proficient lucid dreamer haha

i was a natural lucid dreamer when i was a kid. when i was about 14-16 i stopped having nightmares because i learned that i could control my dreams. from there i flew for the first time and was able to easily VILD and MILD. i was also able to re-enter into a dream by reading notes on previous dreams that i liked (i think called DJILD). i used to do a lot of weight lifting then so vitamins and amino acid blends may have helped out.

i'm impressed with myself because i never knew what lucid dreaming was at the time... i just knew i could do it.

i began smoking pot and it all went down the shitter.... i'm so pissed at myself because i'm a complete noob again but i know the feeling and the methods so i quit and hopeful to regain my abilities.

I'm somewhat in the middle, I remember having lucid dreams before I knew what lucid dreaming was, but I have greatly increased the frequency and vividness of them since I began pursuing them.

Tom, I've seen you in a few other threads...

Anyway, I feel so inferior. I've never had any gifts when it's come to LDing, altough I have had OBE nightmares...(not fun) I can LD now however, but I learned from scratch.
