Thread: Lucid Dreaming: Is it a trait you are born with, or a skill you can learn?

It takes a long time.

You need to learn to free your mind of all the things that block your ability to be awake in your dreams.

Anyone can learn how to have Lucid Dreams, there are no preferences or birth rights.
The problem with Lucid Dreaming is that it is notorious for not working the harder you try.
Lucid dreaming needs a lot of patience and need to take a laid back approach.

I think that the reason some people just naturally LD every single night since they were born and others struggle to have one consciously, has something to do with our waking life personality traits, quirks or genetic chemistry. Some people may be just naturally more aware of their surroundings in life, but becoming more aware is something that everybody can do.

So I would probably say both, but more of the latter.

how much time did you practice becoming lucid? which things did you tried?

I have kept dream journals, listened to meditation music and what-not. My fallback is I cannot bring myself to recognize even the most obvious or bizarre dream-signs
