I started reading on lucid dreaming about a year ago and stopped after a week or 2 of unsuccessful dreams. Until i had one today.

I had my first lucid dream between 9-10 oclock, am while i was having a nap. The thing that made me realize i was dreaming is when i saw my dead grandpa sweeping the floor, then i asked my self am i dreaming and i became fully aware. I remember i woke up when someone slammed my door closed, and when i woke up i remembered the whole dream PERFECTLY, to every little detail.

For the past month i've been able to wake my self from dreams i dont like. One time i was dreaming of my friend running down the woods and me watching from my house, i noticed he was running with a video camera, i didnt see anyone with him. I then heard pounding on my door and my friend yelled "Help im being raped!" over and over again, i then closed my eyes and told my self its a dream wakeup, and i woke up in bed.

That has been happening for a month now, i have a dream journal i started last night and it has 2 dreams in it. I usually remember dreams most when something in the real world reminds me of my dream.

I have now made reality checking by pushing a finger into my other palm and asking my self if this was a dream and imagined my finger going through my hand.

How can i have another lucid dream?

Will it take weeks to have another? months?

What can i do too improve my chances of having one.
