Hi!
I'm Luci (and I'm lucid 8) ), new here. It's funny, I was reading my psychology textbook and they're were talking about lucid dreaming (interesting!) so I googled it and this was the first site that popped up and after some reading I realised that I have had a few LD's before: mostly when something was happening that I didn't like at all such as spiders crawling all over my body (brrr) but then I would suddenly think to myself: "stupid idiot, what are you doing? your dreaming for cryin' out loud, you can stop it whenever you want!" and then I would wake up. Before coming here however, I always thought that I had just awoken from a dream but that I would keep on dreming the dream while being awake (ok, that does not really sound logical, back then it was!) So it's really cool to find out that I realised I was actually dreaming
I guess now I have to do those reality checks and keep a dream journal! At least I already remember my dreams almost every morning, saves time I guess!
And finally a question: I know this is VERY personal and is thus not mentioned on the site, but how long does it take? Should I be thinking weeks, months or years here? Because I have no clue whatsoever... Thanks!
