I am born with this talent!

How rare is this?
I've been able to control myself in my dreams for as long as i can remember, and thougt it was pretty normal and everyone could do it!
I've never manipulated the world or anything though, i didn't know it was possible to do that in a dream, until today.
Everything was normal, until today.
I've simply always had this talent, i even met my friend in my dream and spoke to him!
I never talked to him about it in real life, though, i didn't know that was possible either.

So that question is as reads: How rare is this?
How long do people have to train in order to access lucide dreams?

Edit: I almost never have to perform reality checks either, i just know that i'm dreaming as a reflex, and i tell the people around me.
I want to kill myself for not realizing that i can do whatever i want, hopefully i will dream tonight.

Welcome to the forum!http://img261.echo.cx/img261/2800/dancetwist0bi.gif
It is pretty rare to be able to have LDs every night (w/o RCing)...& a few people don't have to train at all to be a LDer, b/c they are born w/it naturally! & I very well understand that!

Welcome to the forum. 8)

I've been able to ld since as far back as I could remember, also. I started off by learning how to recognize when I'm having a nightmare, and came up with a way of waking myself up whenever I felt I really needed to. And that evolved into being able to recognize nightmares, and manifesting weapons or powers to defeat them. I thought it was normal also, and that everyone did it, accept that when I would tell people that I could do it, everyone always looked at me like I didn't have any idea of what I was talking about. LOL. But since I learned it had such a study behind it, I've had to start training again, because I lost some of the ability over the years. I'm getting my skill back again, though.

I have a friend with this talent, says it's like you don't even sleep. Although he said he some stuff that made it seem like it was only half-lucid, not full control. I've never had one, at least to my knowlegde. Lucky you. :P :)

Hey TheKnife!

Wow, natural LDs every night! I'm jealous!

But seriously, that's awesome! My first few were totally natural but then I had to start working on it with reality checks and all that jazz.

Good luck with manipulating the dream world! Also, if you feel like posting you dreams in a dream journal, I know I'd be interested in reading them.

Wow, that's a lot like me! I can realize that I'm dreaming usually if it's a nightmare. I have been using lucid dreaming, in a way, to wake myself up when I realize. That was before I'd even heard about LD, so this is all very interesting to me! I also started doing those "reality checks" at an early age... Once in a while, I'll just look around and ask "who, what, where, when and why?" about everything. Just question everything and compare it to normal life.
Now I realize that instead of waking myself up, I can experiment with my dreams. That's so cool, and I can't believe I never realized it! (Although I have wondered what it would be like if I "accidentally" had a lucid dream... before I even knew what a lucid dream was! Now I know I can induce a lucid dream at will.) I only found out about LD yesterday!
Anyway, your descriptions started like how I started out as well, so I thought I'd share my experience too.
LD is awesome...

I have done this since I was a child. I never knew there was a name for it, or that not everybody did it. As an adult I began to find more out about it and how to do dream checks and have a dream sign and WOW, has my lucid dreaming become spectacular! I was having a dry spell though, but since finding this place and reading the threads yesterday,, I got to have a lucid dream last night.

I am gonna love this place, I can tell , and every one is so nice. :okbyenow:
