How long did it take you for your first?

I couldn't find it, but i apologize if this has already been done.

How long did it take you to start trying to get a LD to when you actually had your first "willed" LD.

About 2 weeks till my first then they came continuously afterwards

**Rare** · 02-01-2008 05:49 AM

ummm.... a week or so for the first "willed" one.... and then another a week or so after that.... but i'm not actively trying to get lucid every night.... mainly when I am sorta bored with my normal dreams

ermm.. about 1 week

it was a DILD.. triggered by a WBTB

I saw an ad for a NovaDreamer back in 1998 when they were still being sold by the Lucidity Institute and I had a lucid dream the first time I wore it.

Here are some previous threads on this topic

First time I heard about it, it was only for a few seconds tho :/

**Spiderman_859** · 02-02-2008 12:49 AM

I had my first one after about two weeks. It was a wild, I started practicing wilds as soon as I found out about LDing eventhough your supposed to practice dream recall and RC's and stuff

3 months. Worked hard at though - working hard pays off sometimes I guess. For those who haven't done it -keep trying & make it happen

**Gnumonic** · 02-02-2008 02:28 AM

First night I read about it, I tried a MILD. That was during the summer and after that I averaged about 2 maybe 3 a month but now that im in school i only get about 1 a month if im lucky. Maybe it's because I wake up at 4:30 in the morning so I don't get much sleep.

Ouch. That sucks.

**ninja9578** · 02-02-2008 02:40 AM

First day - DILD.

**superlox3** · 02-03-2008 01:18 AM

About one or two weeks after I started trying...

...but I haven't had any after that

**joseph1594** · 02-06-2008 06:05 PM

I would say a couple of weeks, though the inducement wasn't on purpose, and it wasn't very entertaining, yet it is a gigantic milestone.

**gthom** · 02-06-2008 06:08 PM

Probably about 2 months...had another about a month after that. Now, zilch.

**Teeliumtrozzle** · 02-06-2008 06:55 PM

I had my first in November, but then I didn't have another one for nearly 3 months.

**King K** · 02-06-2008 07:13 PM

A day or two (DILD), they were kinda "accidental" though, I lost interest after reading a guide which basically said that you couldn't lucid dream if you didn't take drugs such as Calea and galantamine (fake).

My first "willed" LD was not so long ago, I've been having DILDs much more naturally since then, like one or two LDs a week.
