 What's up guys today? We're gonna answer a question from our buddy John about lucid dreaming He says does lucid dreaming get more difficult depending on how old you are so is there a particular age which is best for lucid dreaming and Does it does it actually get affected by your age in general? So to answer this I need to just explain a little bit about it beforehand And that is just to remind you that lucid dreaming usually almost always happens in REM sleep This is rapid eye movement sleep, and this usually happens towards the later stages in the morning Sort of about 4 a.m. 3 a.m. That sort of thing depending on obviously when you normally wake up when you normally go to sleep Your natural circadian rhythm and that sort of thing so To answer the question as you age starting from when you're a child to maybe when you're you know nearing the end of your life Your REM sleep decreases The older you get so as a child you might find it very easy to lucid dream you may even remember Having natural lucid dreams as a child without even realizing that they were lucid dreams, and this is because at that age You have naturally high Amounts of REM sleep you sleep for longer and especially as you become a teenager and Into your early 20s you find it easy to sleep for long periods of time, and you're also having a lot of REM sleep in your sleep Length in in the length of time you sleep so The short answer is yes age does affect lucid dreaming because when you lucid dream You're actually waking up your mind in your REM sleep And as you age your REM sleep decreases, but I would not worry about it too much because In general is the decrease is so gradual that you won't really realize it's happening You may look back say 10 20 years and and remember oh like I had more dreams then But in a in terms of a day-to-day basis, you won't really notice the change However, you will find it easier to lucid dream and learn lucid dreaming The younger you are but don't let that stop you. I mean anyone can lucid dream So it's really just the case of sticking with it and just practicing regardless of your age So I hope this answer a question John if you have any other questions, please send them in and I'll do my best to answer them
