Well, I’ve had a few dreams where I knew I was dreaming, but most of them were nightmares and I didn’t know I could change things.
I also have had dreams (again, mostly bad ones) where I worried about monsters and criminals and stuff and lo! they appeared, which is kind of like lucid dreaming, 
in that you create things by believing they will materialize.
I am pretty sure I would count as a natural. Pretty much every single dream I have had for 15+ years has been lucid. Typically have complete control over what happens in my dreams but I usually like to allow a dream to go where it wants and only change its course if it is going somewhere I don’t like (hard to explain but I basically feel that the dream is heading a bad direction ahead of time).
There has only been 1-2 dreams that I didn’t have control over during this time and these were most certainly nightmares, I was lucid during them just the event causing me to wake in shock was sudden and unexpected(in the dream).
Like some of the others in this thread I never really gave it much thought as being uncommon or unusual. Having done a bit of reading on it tonight though I would say I agree with some of the various techniques people use to try induce ludic dreams.
i remember having one when i was 8, but i didnt know what it was, i realized i was in a dream only becouse my dream was SO wierd, it couldnt possibly be real, i watched scary movie 3, and a couple of movies that made no sense at all, hence the dream, but it was all about these 5 people with guns going through this fish plant or something like that, and they were looking for something, when i noticed that one of the guards was beating one of the 5 people with a fish, then things started getting really wierd after that, and i realized that that would NEVER happen so i started from there, going through the dream for an hour or so, but what ive noticed is that most people who ARE natural LD’ers normally have LD’s in thier younger years, but as they age, they have less and less until finaly, aaround 20-25 have none at all without trying. 
I’ve been lucid dreaming since I was four years old.
The first Lucid Dream of my life was when I found myself in a space station that was infested with alien beings that tore people apart. It was when I also learned my first dream power–to cause things to spontaneously explode from the inside out. 
In my online Dream Journals I often describe this dream power simply as “End”.
I’ve been having LD’s since I was 4. I got this book about the brain a year later, and it talked about LDs. I read it over and over again, wanting to have LDs every night. I got internet when I was nine, and found out about WILD(The book already talked about MILD, so I had been practicing it). since then, I have practiced meditation, astral projection, and WILD, almost every night. I was one focused little kid! 
.
I chose yes as I did have short lucid dreams as a child. But now I am slowly becoming much better at it.
Naw, I’m not a natual. My first dream when I really knew I was in my bed dreaming was a couple of months ago, and it only lasted like five seconds 
And I think that doesn’t even count as a Lucid dream.
If I ever had one as a kid, I must’ve been really young or just forgotten it. But I do, however, have (What I think) a good dream recall; now that I write in my DJ I remember three or four dreams each night, which I think is really good 
I am not a natural, sure wish I was though. With hard work, dream journal, and every non-consumed aid I can think of I can sometimes pull off a LD a month… I dnow why it is so hard, maybe I just want it too badly. 
Only once. I do remember realizing that I was dreaming, but it was an awesome dream and I really didn’t care, or even know what was possible.
well, i really dont remember doing that!! but i just had my first one a few days ago. 
I had a dream about flying once, but cannot pinpoint whether I was actually in a fully lucid state, or it was just blind luck. I wasn’t fully aware of the concept till about a few years ago, so I am defiantly not a natural.
I am a natural too. 
I don’t 
A few days ago I’ve found out that my best friend is a natural. I’ve told him that I am trying to control my dream and he said he does this all the time. Ne never read a LD forum and he knew that in his dreams he cannot read and the mirrors are non-reflecting or weird-looking. In my opinion, I think It’s better to be a non-natural, because you have to try hard, recall dreams, do RCs to finally have one small LD instead of having them when you want. He told me that he gets bored sometimes and he lets the dream flow while he is lucid.
No, I learnt it (aprox.) four years ago, but as you can see in my sig, I still got a lot to learn. 
Yeah, when I was young. It was like 4th or 5th grade. I realized “Hey, I’m dreaming” and proceeded to do everything I’ve ever wanted in school (dance on tables, piss off teachers) without getting in trouble.
Yes, my dream sign still persists to this day. School. Often dreaming of returning to school. I have gained lucidity a couple times through Reality Checking.
First One:
I was in 13 years old in the 6th grade… I believe. I was in my old school and realized I had skipped a grade. I ended up registering for the 8th grade, skipping 7th altogether. I proceeded to try convince all my friends and classmates not to take the test. I can recall running up on a few, “Your dreaming?”
I can picture the outside pavilion now. All the backpacks. Me running through the crowds of kids. It was this memory I held onto when my research of Lucid Dreaming began roughly 18 months ago.
Am I natural? Dunno… I believe I was a natural, we WERE all naturals. I view Lucid Dreaming as a forgotten path. Maybe not forgotten per say, more of a pastime irrelevant to the masses.
No, I’m not a natural . I think I learned about lucid dream about 2 years ago.
But I’ve experienced a few things as a child. Like sleep paralysis. That was not so fun, I always thought it was a ghost 
I had two when I was around 5 years old- became lucid when trying to escape a serial nightmare. Then none (that I can remember) for the next ten years or so, until one evening I suddenly SP’ed- freaked out- and while researching it came over LDs and realised it was an actual thing.
I’m 14 now and heard about lucid dreaming a year ago but before that don’t recall ANY dream of being lucid. I remember having some reccuring dreams and nightmares but no lucid dreams.
