Thread: Relationshi between age and number of lucid dreams

Please post you're age, number of lucid dreams and how long (approximately) you've been trying to induce lucid dreams. I'm trying to find out if there is any relationship between age and number of lucid dreams.
Thankyou!

Age: 19
Gender: Female
Trying to LD since: July 13th, 2004
Success: 2 short LDs in the first week of August. Nothing else.

There's my info. However, I have from time to time also had normal dreams about LD related material (ie. RCs, attempting to become lucid in a ND, general conversations about LDing, etc.)

4-13-05 EDIT: I'm up to 7 LDs now. I average about one a month.

Age: 19
Gender: Look under the avatar!
Trying to LD since: I joined DV
Success: I've managed to have approximately five lucid dreams per month in the past three months
Surprise: I'd been having lucid dreams way before I even knew they were called "lucid dreams"; I daresay as young as five or so

Edit: Favorite Cartoon Show: Pretty much anything anime, but otherwise, the Daily Show with John Stewart

Age: 18 (Jan 23 1986)
Gender: Male, at least for now
Trying to LD since: Properly since March.
Success: 2 LD's, one many years ago so i disregrad that, and one last week that was so scattered and low level i also disregard it, so technicall 0.
Favourite cartoon show-The family guy.

Maybe we should use the scientific method.

age: 13

number of ld's: 4

i'v had them since i was 5

age:14

number of LD's:17

time LDing: couple weeks

Age:16
Gender:male
Aproximate # of Lds: 4
Trying since Febuary 14th 2004

well started strong in beging but i lost time/motavation about 3 months in and started again 1 month after that hope that helps

Age: 14
Gender: Male
Approx. Number of LDs: 100, give or take a little(probably take )
Trying to LD since: Some where around the middle of February (was 13 at the time)

I have around 3 LDs a night when I'm not in a dry spell, I believe.

Age 32 years.
Lucid dreaming for a little less than two years.
Number of Lucid dreams. Approxomatly 78. one a week If i am lucky.
Note. I am on medication that is known to hinder dreaming up to 40 %. (thought that might be useful info.) - my dream recall an LD's are less but about 15% from what I can tell.

Age: 19
Gender: Male
Number of LDs: Approx 30
Trying to LD since: 17

I have around 0-3 lucid dreams per month. Right now im in the so called dry spell.

Age: 16
Trying to Ld since: Joining this site
Approx # of LDs: 30

Age: 24 (by the time this post is read a few times anyways)
Attempting to LD since: I've been studying it on and off for the past few years, in association with other studies that constantly link in with it.
Total number of lucid dreams: That I can recall? None. If any.


How do you plan to use the results of this information? IE, what else is there to your particular study or is it more of a simple statistics game?

Age: 13, but only for a day n_n
Gender: Male
Trying to LD since: May 1st 2004 {I kinda..err..skipped a month }
Success: Had about 5 LDs n_n

As it stands at this point of the survey, the everage age is 18.5 years of age

Somewhere in another topic I dug up some information in a psyshology book that put into detail the decrease in REM sleep as you age.
It went from infancy to childhood - adolesence - adulthood -old age.

Not only did the REM sleep decrease but the amount of sleep required for the aging person lessened. I guess that would go hand in hand anyway. Less sleep = less REM.

It also seems evident to me that we have a tremandous amount of very young people who are members of this forum. And if what they claim is true a good portion of them have good lucid dreaming abilities.

age: 17.4 years old as of this posting
gender: male
natural LDer from ~5-12
lost ability at ~12
started trying to have LDs and dream recall at 14-15
started to succeed at 16
high-level LDs when natural: well over 200 with an average of 5 a week...
LDs since relearning: 15 high-level, about 30 low-level, and too many non-lds to count.

If you're a natural.. don't take it for granted, because it may leave you.

And howetzer, I'm pretty sure that as you age, sleep becomes lighter and less time is spent in delta, with more being in REM. I'll double-check my sources though.

Age: 16 years
Trying to LD since: A week and a half ago
Success: 0.5 LD's

This is in accordance from my psychology book from college.
From one to five months of age a tremendous amount of time is spent in REM, 40 to 50 percent.
As you age it the actual time spent sleeping decreases but the amount of time spent in REM is relativley similar from 3 years on. Only ranging from 19 to 23% in REM.

Age: 17
Been trying to LD since: Oct 2003
# of LDs: 6 or 7 maybe.
Gender: Male

Age: 17 at the moment
Been trying since: September/october 2004
Approximately 1-2 LD per week. More if lucky, less if unlucky

Or it could be that most people after college dont have time, or perhaps the mindset, for internet message boards... hmmm.

On the other hand, I had way more dreaming capacity up to about my early 20's. I could lucid dream on command about once every three weeks. These days I find it hard if not impossible to enter a lucid dream on command. It still happens, with much less frequency, but it is random and depends on my state of mind and body.

But I am not sure exactly whether its age, increase of responsiblity, more active or dietary, that effect LD.

I think age does have something to do with it, but consider this. While I was having the lucid dreaming, I was taking a lot of vitamins. I don't take many vitamin supplements anymore. Also, I have a lot more on the brain with work, etc. And, another important factor, I am much more active physically and am active at least 3 evenings and on the weekends each week, which tires me out both mentally and physically. So I tend to sleep pretty deep.

Last point. I took a b vitamin last night and had an involuntary dream spin in the middle of the night. Today, i joined the board and found out that others in the target age group use vitamins to assist the LD. I will start taking supplements again, but with more moderation, and let you know my success rate.

cheers and dont do anything diabolical with your scientific study! 8)
