I was born with it! I suppose but it was needed to be awakened and aware to me what they were. I’ve had at least 10 before I joined the site, not knowing what they were.
I had my first two LDs about a year ago, maybe a bit more. The second was actually an unconscious WILD, though I didn’t realise it at the time. Then more recently, maybe a month and a half ago, I learned about LDs from Wikipedia and followed a link to this site. I started consciously trying to LD, mosly through WILD techniques, and didn’t have all that much success. Twice I became lucid but woke up immediately afterward. Then last night, after trying and failing to WILD, I just repeated to myself, “When I wake up, I’ll be dreaming”, (a sort of variation on MILD I guess) and almost had a false awakening later in the night. I went back to sleep and in the middle of that dream became spontaneously lucid, and managed to stabilise it and stay asleep. I guess I just had the idea deeply enough in my mind that it decided to happen in the middle of the dream, albeit in a different way than I’d been thinking. I’ll try it again tonight and see.
I was a beginner when i came to this site. Didn’t know to much about lding. Tried Wild Mild and Wbtb didn’t have success with any those. Got fustrated and started rcing every hour while i was awake. That helped get me my first ld. I got my first ld about a week in a half when i joined this site. When i got my first ld i wanted aanoter right away. So i tried a lucid dreaming tape that says, you are dreaming you will know you are dreaming. I set a alarm on my ipod for 4:00 went to bed at 12:30. While i was sleeping i heard a voice that said you are dreaming your sleep. So i did a rc and was lucid.
I read sections on this website. I RCed everyday and eventually I had my first LD. I could already recall my dreams and I already had a dream journal before I found this site, but I didn’t know what LDing was.
I really didn’t learn it just happened on its own. I had an LD after reading online about them. It was cool, but I had a FA, and I didn’t feel like doing that again. A few months later, after waking up, I was just resting in bed. I starting thinking about lucid dreams, but I didn’t think to actually try to have one. I drifted off again and had an LD anyway. Now, after reading these forums, I’ll probably have another. Maybe not. Who knows.
I was 12 and i could control every dream, every time. 2 years later I Decided to google “concious dream” and i discovered that what i experienced was a well documented phenomenom.
Good ol’ RC’s is how I learned. I did probably hundreds of RC’s and had LD that night.
Actually, the first quality LD I had came from FILD, but I ditched the F part and transitioned to WILD.
I’m a natural born dreamer! I had a bunch of LD’s as a kid, well before knowing anything about them or what they were called.
I became interested in various occult things through high school and university, reading various things. I stumbled across Stephen LaBerge’s Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming in the Occult section at my University bookstore. (That seems really funny now.)
Although still interested in the occult, I’m a pretty big skeptic. I know my stuff, but the more I hear/read, the less I believe. LaBerge put the scientific fact behind LD’ing, but more importantly, it was something that I experienced myself. (I’m still open minded about things though, that’s where my curiosity comes from.)
Another neat thing, the day I bought the book, I had an LD that night BEFORE I had a chance to read it. 
That’s MILD for you. 
It took me 2 days to have LD after i seen this forum. But i had some of em while i was a kid. I dont use any technique, just lay in bed and try my luck. Techniques are nonsense to me (no offense to any1 who does them)
Guess what? That’s a technique. 
You just used MILD, congratulations on the LD’s.
I’ve had some LDs when I was younger but I thought that it was normal, so I ignored it. My first actual LD was one week ago, on my birthday and since then I’ve had 3 more, but I keep getting FAs, and RCs never work for me (plus my brain is always creating false memory). I didn’t really have a problem getting an LD, I had one the first time I tried, but I can’t have a WILD, so I’m stuck to MILD, oh well!! 
I always looked forward to sleeping, cuz I thought dreaming was the coolest thing ever and I’ve started writing a DJ since I was 10. For a weird reason I never forgot my dreams and I could control what I was going to dream (usualy flying, I LOVE it more than enything else in the world!!)
So I’ve probably bored you to death so I’ll stop. Any time soon. Really, I’m stopping. Shuting up now…
SD gives cookies to every1 and runs away before you accuse her for boring you to death 
O, ok then
Well, i ment i dont try anything hard, just read this forum before going to sleep. Works like a charm 
Similar to Sonic_moronic, I don’t do a whole lot to induce them. I do an RC every once in a great while, and I keep trying to WILD (but not with WBTB, so it doesn’t really go far). I mostly just keep my enthusiam up. When I do have an LD, I usually notice something amiss and don’t even need an RC for confirmation.
I kinda discovered lucid dreaming naturally too. It just clicked when I was four years old and I realized that I could control it all!! it was awesome, the feeling.
Edit/Addition: 
They sort of happened , I’m yet to do any of the LD inducing techniques…
Recently I’m suspecting most of them were FLDs though
Same here I you could say i am a natural Lucid Dreamer. I search for dreams on wikipedia and then followed the search to lucid dreams then wikibooks and so on and ended up here. I had my first LD just 3 days after learning about them. I am so new i dont know what technique i used i just use RC alot and in my dream i used it. Could someone tell me if this has any good chances of an LD or is it as bad as spontainus (spelling?) LD? 
I first heard about LD in July. I was surfing on herb/drug forums and someone said: “Instead of taking psychedelic drugs you should practice LD!”
Then I read the Wikibook and ended up on a German forum on the subject. Then they told me about this one.
My first LD happened 8 days after I heard about LDs. I had a FA and made a RC (love those abbreviations 
) Then there was pretty much nothing in the following 4 weeks and so I decided to switch to the WILD technique. It was very frustrating because I still didn’t get a lot of results but last week I had 4 LDs using this so I guess I’m making some progress now. My focus right now is shifting towards stabilization and meditation in a LD.
If you had your first LD three days after you started to try, it was not a spontaneous LD, it was due to your practice or interest about LD’ing and it means you have some facilities indeed.
I had an LD the first or second night and I flew with my doggie!!
I just started to write down my dreams and thought about dreaming alot during the day, and after about 2 weeks I had my first ld. recognizing my dreamsigns really helped too.
