Metaphorically. I introduced him to lucid dreaming about a week ago, and he only writes a little down on his notepad each night, he has only had like 2 dreams so far, he does a few reality checks, he doesn't wake up in the night (not even by alarm) so no WBTB.

And yet 4 days in, he's had a lucid. A decent one as well, for a first one. He was in a shop with one of his other friends, looking up some material he needs for a project. He then suddenly went "this isn't right", looked at his hands, etc, etc. He then couldn't think of anything to do, so he decked my friend, ran out of the shop and noob mistake, got to excited, and lost it after about 30seconds of lucidity.

I interrogated him about what he did, and he said he went to bed at 12, and fell asleep fairly fast, but before he went to bed he ate 4 slices of cheese and drank an orange capri sun (or a juice box for people who don't know what that is.)

Now I've been at this for 6 months now, and I have only had 1 that was even close to a lucid, and that was worse.

TL;DR Friend has lucid dream in few days while it's taken me 5 months to have one. What do?
