I'm confused, are you talking about remembering regular dreams or remembering lucid dreams?

But yea I agree and understand (I think) what you are saying, that people can randomly have lucids, but not control them, and not realize how much fun is openly accessible. I have met people who lucid dream pretty randomly or whatever, who don't know about it, and don't know that it can be induced or controlled. This seems to contrast with those 'naturals'. But I think the difference between people like that and myself, is that people like me went, "Oh my god that was the most incredible experience of my life" and looked it up, because of some inherent interest in dreams and realizing the possibilities, while others didn't or just flat out weren't really interested in dreams. And then I guess you could say that the only difference between naturals and myself is that they experience lucid dreams at a higher frequency, and learned to control them without consulting outside sources. I'm a child of my generation and I use the internet for everything, so even before I had my second 'natural' lucid dream I'd already read up on it and read about all the techniques to induce and control. Maybe I just got ahead of myself Maybe the only difference is that I experienced it at 16, and they all seem to have experienced it earlier in life? Had I had this knowledge that it was possible (I would have absolutely had the interest), I'd probably have grown up lucid dreaming, too.

Some of course hear about it and don't recall ever having had such an experience, maybe they never did or maybe it was simply forgotten, and so they have to research their way into lucid dreaming.

Everyone here realizes that lucid dreams are natural, I think.
