Thread: How Long Did it Take to Have Your First Lucid Dream?

Same, but without a real lucid dream yet. I've had a handful of lucid moments over the years, but they all occurred right at the end of dreams because those are the most vivid times I suppose.
It's not like I wasn't trying my best all last year too, but it might still be 8 years for me as my 8th year is just starting and I'm still trying my best. I've had the REM-Dreamer for a couple months now, maybe it'll actually work eventually. The single sensor below the eye is pretty iffy.

But it will definitely be worth it. Don't care if it's 8 years or 80 years. ... Well, I certainly care, but my point is I won't give up.

The end of dreams, or as you're waking up? This is very common - happens to me a lot. It's because you're waking up - nothing to do with vividness. In fact lucidity itself has nothing to go with vividness, it's just awareness. The reason it happens frequently just as you're waking up is because your conscious mind is starting to go online while you're still dreaming. The dream is ending, sleep is concluding, but for just a moment it's like the sun and moon are both in the sky at the same time. Usually this kind of lucidity is very weird and unstable because the dream is falling apart. Pretty frustrating.

I know the feeling bro. It certainly is frustrating.
At least you are having lucid moments. All I had was normal dreams straight for those 8 years

9 Months

what are some of the recommended and proven to work techniques? I would like to have lucid dreams...
