Am I a natural?

[Imachinchilla]

In the past I would occasionally have dreams where I realized I was dreaming and searched for my crush sometimes finding him. I had these about once a month. I used to have horrible nightmares of being chased until I read that the best thing to do is to turn around and ask them why they are chasing you. I had no trouble with this at all. I had a few more but after I started confronting the chaser they stopped. I have really good dream recall. I can usually remember 1-3 dreams a night. I have learned a lot about lucid dreaming. The topic really fasinates me. The ability to do whatever I want is incredible. I had a lucid dream the first time I tried using reality checks and MILD. The dream was short because I woke up the instant I was lucid. Since I've been researching and doing MILDs and reality checks I have about three or four a week. I haven't flown yet lucid or not. (although I once had a dream Harry Potter taught me to fly on a broomstick. Somehow I even managed to screw that up.) Am I a natural?

Hello Chinchilla, I'm not sure if you are a natural or not, reading your experience with the whole nightmares thing, to me, it sounds like you've just built up a fair amount skill at it. Dream recall, Reality Checks, Induction techniques, etc. I think a natural is someone who doesn't even try and they still become lucid, sometimes not even wanting to. I mean, I haven't ever had an LD from trying to become lucid, they seem to just happen, but I'm no natural, I still don't get them very often.

You definately have an inclination to lucid dream. Advantageous, you are, to others who struggle for their first lucid dreams. With more practice I believe you'll be able a master as lucid dreaming, a state many of us haven't reached.
