why not? it may be very hard but it's certainly not impossible, practice makes perfect.
Everything gets easier with time. A while back I was working on recall. At first getting to 20 paragraphs was an achievement. By the time I stopped playing that particular game I had reached a stage where is was weird to have less that 20 paragraphs if I had slept right. I imagine lucid dreaming is the same.
Absolutely. There are a number of members here who claim to have achieved this. Stephen LaBerge, author of Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming (a.k.a. the lucid dreamer's Bible) said that he reached this stage while researching lucid dreams, to the point where he became somewhat worried that he wouldn't be able to "turn them off." :D
I'm a natural LDer, meaning I've had LDs since I was a little kid. I've gotten to the point where I can LD whenever I want. I have multiple LDs nearly every night. When I'm stressed I don't have so many LDs, or LDs that are as cool as usual. For me the issue isn't really "can I have a LD" but "can I remember my goal in my LD tonight?"
20 paragraphs? How many pages do you write each day? Printed or typed? I do 1.5-2 pages typed generally, with only a few breaks. Sorry for the OT.
I never have been able to do that, personally.
If I dream is really long or detailed I can easily write 20+ paragraphs about that one dream. But a lot of the time, just so I don't spend all day doing my DJ, I don't include all the details.
How long is your average Lucid dream? Dream time and real time.Quote:

Although, I used to be horrible at lucid dreaming. It took me months to get my first one and then I would only have one every 4-5 weeks. But then I had a dry spell and once that ended I would get them a lot more often without even trying. So I guess it depends.
LaBerge lucid dreams practically every night. Practice, practice, practice. It helps if it's your life's research, of course.
But also willpower. If you want to LD every night, you really have to want it. And honestly, it's hard to retain that kind of will. It's almost like WILDing every night, but in the back of your head. And it doesn't always produce the best results.
Definitely. I think I have a lucid dream almost every night, even if it's for 15 seconds, I have the chance to realize I am dreaming.
I can almsot WILD anytime I want, but only because I WANT to. Like Abra said, if you want to LD every night, you have to really want it.
Cheers. Here's to you having a lucid dream every night *holding my little glass of red wine up*.
But are you a natural or did you have to obtain the skill?Quote:

When I WILD, I always I have to summon someone. I usually walk to my front door and say "When I open my door "so and so" will be there..." About 99% of the time they are there. There have been times when whoever I summon isn't there, but that is few and far between. It really does takes practice because I remember trying to summon someone a while back, and it wouldn't happen.
Keep at it! I WILL happen.:)
Every LD varies. If I have a dream of any kind early in the night chances are it will be short. These dreams are easy to describe in a few sentences. Some only need one. As the night goes on the dreams get longer. This reflects what is known about the sleep cycle. When I oversleep they get REALLY long.Quote:

When I over sleep they feel like they last hours to days, usually. In waking time it ranges from 10 to about 45 minutes. Of course the waking times are all estimated. It is hard to know how long I slept before a dream started.
Some of my dreams are extremely short. I call them "flash" dreams because they usually consist of a short burst of one or a few repeating images, sounds, or concepts. From what I've read these are all characteristics of non-REM dreams.
