First it was the sheer concept of such a thing(back in the summer of 4th grade, when I thought it was cool but practically impossible). Multiple weeks BREAK. Then it was an experience(A lucid sometime that summer or maybe later). Multiple years BREAK. Then it was curiosity(Found dreamviews). 10 month BREAK. Then it was f'ed up dreams(Don't even want to describe them, but they're generally gone). And since then I have actually taken move to try. I don't know what I've been doing for the past 4 years(had about 4 lucids, only one of which was anywhere near to touching waking awareness) but I'm glad it happened. I'm also surprised and glad that I have not given up yet. I hope I don't lose that feeling.
