Day #2- things look promising but after advice

Hello,
Obviously I'm new so I'm not expecting to be lucid dreaming within 2 days after joining.

night #1- I managed to achieve a lucid dream for 2 seconds before I woke up. It was a boring setting, actually it was just a blank space, but hey I was in it and dreaming it!

Night #2- I ended up having a dream about "trying to lucid dream" it was actually kind of weird, it was a very long dream, (about 2 hours, is that long?) and I ended up in a place I haven't been since I was 4 years old. All throughout the dream I was talking about lucid dreaming and trying to figure out how to do it while exploring the place and meeting family members I haven't seen in years.

Usually I don't even remember dreams unless they are vivid, It seems that just a conscious recognition to remember them has worked for 2 nights in a row, although I nearly forgot one of my dreams, the only reason I remembered it is that I remembered a vague detail and slowly built on that- and that was the big dream I mentioned above.

Should I have done something to make me realise I was in a dream?
Can anyone point me in the best direction to get started, I know there are alot of methods, hopefully what I've written will be an indicator of what path I should take.

thanks!

This has happened to me a couple times, and there was a recent thread with people discussing it. I'll try and find it for you. But usually it's a pretty good sign that you'll be having a REAL lucid dream soon, so congratulations! Haha

I found it! http://www.dreamviews.com/f20/dreami...eaming-121315/

Thankyou very much Geodae, so this actually is common which is great because it means i'm making progress!

No problem! Good luck with your dreaming, feel free to PM me for any reason! :)

I remember the night after I first read about lucid dreaming. I dreamed about standing on a red beach with strange animals and there was a tornado coming at me. I did a reality check by asking myself if what I saw was normal. The funny thing was that it didnt work and I accepted evrything as normal. later I became semi-lucid and i could change the direction of the tornado.

A few days after that I had my first LD :)

I hate dreaming about lucid dreaming :( I wake up feeling so silly

You can increase this chance of realising its a dream by All Day Awareness (something I strongly recommend.)
