wow interesting thread. Not arrogant at all in my opinion. I'm not a natural however I'm usually able to have several LD's per week (except for my current dry spell that I hope to end today-tomorrow), I have a hard time understanding people of different potential also. It's hard for me to imagine how some people spend years trying to have lucid dreams and only have several, while others like you have them without any effort at all. I am in the middle of this variegated oneironautical farrago- I need to spend a lot of effort to get mine and even so I don't often succeed, and the "perfect technique" seems always "just one step away".

Is it down to genetics, or early childhood experiences, or a combination? who knows...
