My very first lucid dream was the one where I didn't know about it at all. I was a kid, having a nightmare about being captured by pirates; then I realized I had been in this scene before and it was a dream! So I proceeded to heroically fight off all the pirates and escape. Years later someone told me about lucid dreaming, I looked it up and found this site. From then on, it has been a life goal to master this art. However, motivational issues stood in the way multiple times and I couldn't get consistent with this for more than a few weeks.
Now, however, I am older and have recently had some small revelations about motivation and dedication and I think I'm ready to give this a final, permanent try
Without DV, I would have forgotten about this years ago.
