Ohhhhh a WILD, ok, i didnt think of that, i never tried a WILD. Dont you have to fully awake to do that? Like not even sleep at all?

after my first accidental lucid dream - which was awesome, took me about a month to start having LD's.

About two years at least, I actually can't believe I stuck with it so long-well not that I actually really do anything to have them now except WBTB. Still can't WILD but am working on it.

I thought I'd never get one, it seemed like lucid dreaming was this crazy unattainable thing that most other people could do (on this forum anyway) but I couldn't Then finally I got one, so if anyone is feeling discouraged, just know that however long it takes you you will get there eventually. By the way I'm not saying expect it to take you as long as it took me because most people seem to have them within a month of hearing about them, I must just be a really slow learner.

Same sentiments from me. I dreamed of being lucid last night (it was really invigorating, just being so close.) I, too, think that I should be feeling discouraged by now, but I'm really not.

I mean, it does seem like this ridiculously hard thing, when actually thinking about it proves that it is really quite simple. That might be why it seems so hard for us - our body thinks it is this unobtainable state.

One month. It was a sort of MILD...man, was I doing it wrong, though.

don worry everyone has their own pace - consider yourself fortunate since "most" people don't have em at all.

Oh I do, lucid dreams are definitely worth the wait and I probably appreciate them more because of how long it took me to have one. It is kinda frustrating that a lot of people are like "oh I got lucid the night I read about it" though. Well it would be if I still couldn't LD.

Within a few days of learning about it.

For me it took a fair while... I think I had little snippets of LDs within the first few weeks, but for a good length LD it was probably some months...
