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 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
