Well I just recently learned about lucid dreaming a few weeks ago. I had never had exeperience with lucid dreaming (that I knew of) but was extremely interested. I have always been pretty good at dream recall, so that may have made it easier for me. I found this website last week, and starting doing some of the suggestions to become lucid. Since last week, a few times a day, but not everyday, I have asked myself "Am I dreaming?" and have tried to observe everything around me. I have also been writing my dreams down as much as possible. (Again not everyday) Then last night I had my first lucid dream! I was able to stay lucid for about 10 seconds...but then got so excited I woke up! But I was so happy to just get that far! From what I have read here - it will take everyone a different amount of time to finally become lucid, but if you practice all the tips available to you on this site, I am sure it will eventually happen. And sometimes if you try to hard maybe it wont, and then if you forget about it for a few days, all of a suden it will just happen cause you relaxed! Good luck...it is a pretty cool exeperience the first time it happens!
