Hi, i'm new here and i am happy that i discovered the thing called "lucid dreaming". i was watching Good Mythical Morning on youtube and saw the video about this subject and it got me really interested. I always wanted to do whatever i like because i got bad "real life". I've discovered lucid dreaming at 2/25/2014 and whole day i was reading all over the forums why and how it works.

I started doing RC's, i got dream journal and 2-3 times a day i re-live past hours of that day by trying to remember the much as i can. It works really well and to this day i wrote 4 dreams out of 5 nights which isn't bad is it?

So now i got some questions to ask that were bothering me and made me think alot.

1) Why people tell that they can only LD for like 10min max and that they have LD's rarely??
2) How much practice and time do i need in order to be lucid and control my dreams?
3) How long can you stay in the dream i mean how much you think it lasted in real life time?
4) Do i need to use WILD,DILD,FILD..etc in order to LD?

And the last question: Is it really worth it? I see alot of the posts that people struggle to LD and that they can't last long. And it scares me when someone says: It took me years to LD which just destroys my motivation completly.

Also give me advice how should i do RC's and all the tips that someone should need to know, because i would like to hear someone experienced.

- I do RC's by looking in my hands and really asking myself am i dreaming or not, i also look at the clock.
- 2-3 times a day i try to remember what i did during the day and then final one before sleep.
- Before sleep i say "When i woke up i will remember my dreams" it worked well so far.
- i write every dream and every detail i can remember.

Thats about it. Thanks for the reading.. all the best.
