I've read that children have a higher rate at becoming lucid (without trying) than adults. Does this apply to those who practice LD? I would hate to think that I might one day become a LD master just to have it stripped in a few years. I like to think that this is a life long benefit.

It would give me comfort if someone on this forum who is an adult (40+ I guess) would say that they can still be lucid. Of course, if it makes you feel uncomfortable posting your age, don't, but if it makes you feel better, I will start. I'm 17
