Thread: are you always lucid?

Anyway I started practicing back when I was 5, 16 years ago and took me 8 years to induce my first lucid. Don't think I ever gave up, and always try to continue with the same RC I learned back then (Gravity RC), that about sums it up.

This is really fantastic because it demonstrates so well that in lucid dreaming you get out of it what you put in. You tried 8 solid years to induce 1 lucid dream, now your ld count speaks for itself.

When you look back at the stories of the pioneers of lucid dreaming like Laberge they didn't have the internet, or even books on the subject, to learn their skills from, but they practised their art and it was long and hard, but they became naturals.
