This is something that I’ve been wondering for a while.
For me, I have never had any night terrors at a young age, and even now my bad dreams tend to be adult fears rather than primal fears, so I suppose that I am the opposite of a natural.
I have had about 3 recalled night terrors around 4~7 years. My parents say that I used to have them (without recall) since even younger.
I’m a natural LDer since I was 5 but most of my dreams are NLDs.
Well, did being able to lucid dream make your dreams more acceptable?
I have this theory that for naturals, lucid dreaming is a learned behavior as a defense mechanism.
- hypothesis.
And no, since ever, I hardly have nightmares. My night terrors weren’t dreams, only the unexplainable fear and panic.
