Thread: How long did it take you to have your first lucid dream?

I got my first lucid dream when I was a kid. I developed the dream incubation ability (decide what you want to dream) I was convinced that if I put my right hand under my pillow and thought about what I wanted to dream I would dream about it, and I did. This probably has to do with the fact that I as kid didn't had such a wandering mind as now and that I totally believed in myself.
I thought of a Harry Potter adventure and the next second I was standing side to side with the Harry Potter characters and in one of those dreams I realized I was dreaming.

It is easier for me to get lucid when I don't try, but the worst mindset of all is when you get frustrated of failed attempts. Unfortunately I try every night now because I really want to learn to do it naturally although I don't mind if I don't get lucid this night, because there is always a new night

So don't count the days it will do more harm than good! And don't forget to appreciate your non-lucid dreams as well.

Good luck!
