This morning I woke up from a lovely lucid dream feeling giddy and thankful. I realized I've been allowing myself to become frustrated because I hadn't had a LD for 2 weeks, and stopped to think about that for a moment.

My first lucid dream came to me spontaneously last April. Over the next year I had three more, only one of significant length. Since I joined DV a few weeks ago, I've had 9. A quick look at my dream journal showed me I already achieved one of my goals and didn't even realize it -- and I hadn't just become lucid two nights in a row, I did it 4 nights in a row.

I probably chose the most difficult time in my life to learn this skill (I share a bed with my 6-month old son) and through it all I've been able to come to DV and combat my frustration by learning about a new induction method or listening to a podcast.

Thank you, DV community. All of you, from the seasoned veterans writing tutorials and giving advice to other new people like me asking questions and discussing problems. I only hope that I'll be able to return the favor and eventually help others the way you've all helped me.
