I consider myself a natural. After I read that you could not only be aware to control your dreams but to also be able to control them I got to control the weather, the sky and I could fly. I’ve read it’s not that simple to be able to do those sorts of things on your first time.
I’m not really a natural, I have to use techniques if I want to lucid dream, but I think I’m pretty good with controling the dream once I’m lucid (not waking up, etc)
It seems that you didn’t get my point! I wanted to know if :
“Did you at any time in your life, got conscious that you were dreaming before hearing about lucid dreams?”
I don’t mean being the lord of your dream world, just that “Hey, I’m dreaming” feeling.
I did that once. It was pretty exciting, but I couldn’t control anything. Now I just wander what I was thinking not to take advantage of that.
ahh…I see…
A couple of years before, I had a LD (without knowing anything of the matter), I could breath under the water, so I realised it must be a dream, but didn’t acted like if I knew, maybe I made some short term decisions, but didn’t really stuned knowing that or anything.
che, Latinoralph. Poder a Sudamérica!!. jeje, debemos ser los unicos dos de Sudamérica en este foro.
I’ve had one natural LD as a child (which lasted ten/fifteen minutes). I also became lucid quite a lot from nightmares, but all I’d do was wake myself up.
Oh, in that case I’ve had about 2 or 3 before I found out you could actually practice it. So yeah, I’m still a natural 
This is different from your poll quesiton “do you remember having some kind of LD as a child?”
I would answer the first with yes, the second with no. Thus i answered no to your poll, but I still considder myself to be “natural” since I had several lucids before I ever knew or read about it, but I was over 18.
I had a natural one over the age of 28 … and none as a child. so i am definitely not a natural LDer
I see. Yeah, I have had a bunch of natural Lucid Dreams before I knew how to induce them, but I did know what lucid dreams were. I just was’t trying to induce them.
I’m not a natural. My first LD happened when I was about 18. Then I had 2 more when I was about 24. And I have to work a lot in order to have LD’s…
I dont quite understand, you are natural if you had a LD before?, at least one??
No, you are a natural if you have had plenty of LD’s before knowing any technique… 
I’m not natural had one when I was 12 though. Not sure if I had any before that, but certainly not after.
Yes, but I didn’t know that they could be fully controlled. Low-lucidity-short-dreams only. I often used WILD after waking up from nightmares since I was afraid of falling back asleep. And now, I’ve forgotten how to do it. 
But I’ll keep tryin’.
I’m a natural.
I had my first LD at age 4 or 5 & have been doing it since.
Im pretty sure I didn’t have any when I was a child, but the LD’s come pretty easy now … so not sure if that makes me a natural … however I voted no anyways
Back when I was a child I would always dream and would know that I was dreaming because in waking life I would go swimming just about every day of summer, so in my dreams when i went swimming I was able to breathe under-water so yes, i had ld’s before I knew what they were also
ahhh, then I’m not a natural, had only one before
Edit: This poll is confusing, the subject says “Are you natural?”, and the poll ask if you had some kind of LD before using any method…I dont know, I voted yes.
This would be a ‘yes’ for me. Details of my childhood dreams are fuzzy. I did write down some at the time, though.
I can recall one where I was playing with my friends at school and I asked one of them to pinch me to see if I was dreaming. The pinch hurt, so I concluded that I was awake - my first failed reality check 
I can also remember being able to induce a falling/flying sensation more or less at will. These experiences came long before I came across the concept of, or realised the implications of lucid dreaming.
