First of all, thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I'm not sure what criteria you have to meet in order to be considered a natural. I've always had an extremely good imagination. I've also been plagued by nightmares for as far back as I can remember. When I was a kid this was a terrifying ordeal. So when I was around 12, while in a nightmare I suddenly became aware that this was just a dream. Then I attempted to wake myself, after what seemed like an eternity I managed to do it. After that I would always become lucid in my nightmares. At first I would always just wake myself up, then I realized that I didnt have to wake up. I could just change the dream to something different. My nightmares no longer make me afraid, but I still get the adrenaline or what I like to call the fight or flight response. This is always what triggers me becoming lucid. Before I knew what lucid dreaming was, my theory was that this is some kind of defense mechanism that my brain has created to protect me from my nightmares. Hopefully, now that I've joined this site I can make some sense of it all.
