Is it easier for an older or younger person to have lucid dreams...??
While i don't know about learning Lucid Dreaming, I know that it is not uncommon at all for kids to have Lucid Dreams often, but not know what it is and just wake themselves up, and then later on in life (like in their 20s) they find a site like this, and discover what LDing is, but by then they have lost the ability to LD. So I would have to say that younger people have an easier time having Ludid Dreams, and I would guess they also learn it easier as it is known that younger people have an easier time learning.
Also, in response to what Leo is saying, there is know need to worry about this danger, as there is no scientific evidence to support it. While I believe that if you took control of every dream, and spent half the night, every night Lucid and controlling your dreams, then it may be unhealthy, as dreaming does have the purpose of sorting out your memories and experiences, and getting everything in your head organized, and sometimes to tell you something. The thing is I don't believe that anyone who isn't a natural LDer who can get Lucid in every single dream (there are plenty of those, but they are still very uncommon) gets Lucid every dream they have, and those who get Lucid frequently generally don't stabilize and take control of every Lucid dream. Also, if you are having a very important dream, then your mind generally forces it to play out, and even if you know you are dreaming, you can't do anything. Because of this, I don't believe that you can hurt yourself LDing, as your subconscious blocks you from killing your mind through excessive Lucid Dreaming.
