So ive searched through the forums trying to find this topic somewhere else. I couldn't find it.

I am new to this whole dreaming/lucid dreaming thing. I've always been good at remembering dreams and have had a few short lucid dreams by accident quite a while ago. Just recently. 10 or more days ago i started to get interested in lucid dreaming. Ive been keeping a dream journal and have been doing reality checks very often.

I have yet to become lucid. How long does it usually take for someone like me who can usually remember 1 or 2 dreams a night?

oh. i have come close though. I was dreaming a few days ago and i told someone that what i had just done was the result of me being in a dream. But then i woke up. I also did that finger technique and moved into a dream (in the moring) where i was looking at a my hand (which was green like a monster) and pushing on the door yelling stay out im trying to dream. But then i woke up. Ive also done reality checks in my dreams but immediately woken up. This stuff all happens in the mornings while i am going in and out of sleep.

How long did it take you guys to have your first full out lucid dream?
