ok, so i was just wondering, how long did it take you to have your first fully lucid dream, or even semi, after you started really trying?. i was just wondering what i should expect as i have been trying for a few months now on and off, and the only positive results I've gotten are a greatly enhanced dream recall and a dream i mistook for real life and woke up to find it was a dream.
so yeah, how long :cheeky:
Took me ten days from signing up to this site to have my first lucid. (Had a few before this site though) Practice your techniques every night if you can then take a few nights off from them and just relax because its going to happen the desire for it to happen is there. However once u learn and practice your techniques faithfully its very very very important to let it all sink in by taking a break , so that dream lucidity can start to come naturally to you. namaste
I took me... 79 days to have a semi lucid. I only had one lucid when I was 6 or 7, I'm 17 now, so I don't really count it. That was only a week ago though, and my confidence is still high.
However it is bad to watch everyone else and how they are doing. It can only lead to frustration if that person just so happens to be having more luck than you, and you don't really gain much if you are the first. It's nice to inquire about it, but don't grade yourself on it.
well I got them all the time before coming here in 2006 but they became much more frequent once I started coming here and learning some techniques and writing in a DJ.
i think it was 6 days.
You were lurking for 5 years?
No I made a new account because I realized I used the same username for everything, including my email, which means anybody could trace my online history.
Oh wow, really? That too bad. But no one really cares about post count or level.
3-4 days but the dream was very short.
I was on a break from LDing and now I am back :D
I should note that taking a break helps a lot if you can’t LD for sometime.
It took me 3 days from joining DV to have my first LD. It wasn't too long, but I got to fly around for a bit, and i was pretty conscious. It was good.
though I had LDs though before joining DV without trying.
oh wow, most people seem to have such luck >.> hopefully i have the same!
My first was around 2 weeks after I joined. It was only a couple seconds long, though.
One week since i started my dream journal (I started my DJ and joined up to DV on the same night)
Had some as a kid, after finding this website it took me maybe 6 months to finally get another one!

But I don't mind/care. They say their lucids only lasted a few seconds or a short while. My first one on here is going to be full length, worth the wait.
Then why does your LD count say 245?! :O ! /misconception.Quote:

About a month and a half.
just keep determined :)Quote:

As I'm sure Caretaker can attest to, after finally getting the elusive first lucid, all the others seem like an easier task now.
It took me 15 days after I joined dream views probably a week more of preparation outside of this forum.
DETERMINATION FACE!!!!! >:3
The oh so valuable Lucid WILL be mine!
Hmm.. Maybe about a week.
I reckon in the first few weeks you should just dig into all the info about Lucid Dreaming on DV.
It really does help. Just find out as much as you can, and let it flow through your mind.
I will cheer you on!Quote:

4 months after I discovered lucid dreaming I had my first one, which sucked
2 months after, I had my second which sucked as well.
8 months later, I had 3 within a short time period, which were all very short and not bad or good experiences
2 months later, I had a couple of lucid dreams per month, and have been doing that for 6 months all the way to the present moment. None have been particularly lucid, but can be classified as lucid dreams anyhow.
But meh. Progress is progress anyhow.
I had my first LD the same day I learned about them.
I read somewhere that the first LD comes from getting really interested in LDs.
Well, I started my research on the 6th of this month and then I had my first lucid experience on the 13th. So a week exactly. Since then, I've had 6 more lucid experiences, two in one afternoon.
Yes, really interested or basically having your mind so focused on the new thing, that it works like a super R.C., where you have LDs pretty much on your mind constantly. It wears off after a while however, so you obviously can't just rely on knowing about LDs to make you have one.
It took me a few months after I really started trying to have my first remembered lucid. I guess it took me a little longer, but it generally varies from person to person.
Im sad, though, I haven't had a lucid in a while. :(
Yea it varies from person to person. It just depends on how much of a natural Lucid Dreamer you are.Quote:

I had a lucid dream when I was 6 or 7, super cool flying one. It lasted for like 15 solid minutes, then ended with a black thing dragging at my feet. I always remembered it as the best dream ever, and that was 10/11 years ago. That gives me hope, knowing I at least CAN lucid dream.
For me, I believe it took me a month to get my first when I started back in 2006. I then had 1/month until I quit in 2007.
When I started back up this year in April, it took me 18 days to have my first, and I've worked that down to a lucid dream every 3-4 days, and working that down to every day currently :)
It took 3 to 4 months:). you have to be consistent with your RC and DJing and techniques.RC a lot
