I had mine after 3 days, once I started reading Dr. Stephen LA Berge's book Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming. I should get royalties I recommend it so much but it really is the best beginner's book. It covers the basics of the best techniques. But I was maybe faster than most...perhaps because I had maybe 3 lucids on my own, but years apart (semi lucid and not very good or controlled... a little better than dreams). But let me be honest that even with the book it felt like "luck" for me because I didn't know what really triggered it. I then averaged one every week or two for 3 or 4 years. I am just now figuring out how to improve it to where I want to be...nightly or every other night. It is a journey...everyone different but everyone can learn it over time. And the journey has been fun.
