Welcome to the forum, Leroy

And cachero is right, the tutorial section will give you all the info you need.

Here is the list of acronyms so you know what the abbreviations stand for.

Oh, one other thing - if you like books, I'd definitely recommend picking up Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming by Stephen LaBerge, commonly refered to as EWOLD on the forum. It's considered the LDing bible and I'm sure you'll find a lot of useful information.
