hey im 16 and maybe 3-4 days ago i had my first lucid dream. I was interested in lucid dreaming before but not like i am now. Before i knew what i wanted and that was to lucid dream but i didnt know what i wold expect. Then 3 or 4 days ago i had a hard gaming sesion with my friends over the xbox. We played maybe untill 5:30 in the morning and i had woken up around 8 in the morning the day before. We played untill my eye lids would literally start to be way to heavy for me to keep them open, so i decided to fall asleep on the matress i was already laying on. So on that night i had my first lucid dream. My mind started to get amazed that it was actually happening. at first nothing big but then i started to fly and i looked up and was staring at planets and i was like a rocket flying around space. I woke up breathing very heavily and very fast and i realized i had lucid dreamed. I woke up around 10 so i searched up on some lucid dreaming methods and i started to WILD and i lucid dreamed again. What shocked me the most was i did no mental prework on my first time i was just tired as shit. I didnt do any reality checks i used to keep a dream journal but i barely would write in it, but i still lucid dreamed. Now i was wondering if the later i sleep into the night will my chances for a lucid dream increase?

And if none of you understand what i wrote sorry i failed english class.....twice. So i apologize

Congrats on your first lucid dream!

The longer you sleep, better chance you have at having a lucid dream. Simply, because your REM gets longer the longer you sleep.

You got your first lucid because you were sleep deprived. But don't count on that as your technique. It may help you, but it will not get you lucid every time you do that.

We have some great classes in DV Academy, for beginners, and also for induction techniques and dream yoga. So read up, and good luck
