I remember having the best lucid dreams from my childhood. There was one where I was on a boat, one when I was in New York City...I have had lucid's since then but they aren't as vivid or impactful upon my mind.

Do you think there's a correlation between being a child/being young and having memorable lucid dreams? When you're a child you're supposed to be more "impressionable" because your mind is developing I guess. Maybe a lucid dream has more of an impact on you? I know I remember nightmares from back then too. Now, especially after I've gotten into this whole LD thing, a lucid dream is cool to have and a nightmare just gets a "whatever" 90% of the time from me. I remember I woke up in SP when I was little and I was horrified. Since then, its happened, and the impact has passed me.
