274 LDs in less then 1.5 year is quite advanced if you asked me. Having counted so many LDs is already a feat that lifts you above the beginner level. A beginner might be someone who has a few LDs a month, is struggling to have more and a single lucid dream is a big event for him. When he starts having a few LDs a week and can consistently practice skills and methods you might call him an intermediate. An advanced might be someone who has about 5-10 LDs a week with proper duration and quality of the lucid dreams, with pretty good recall. He has done a lot of practicing and knows some stuff about himself and his dream environment and the way his dreaming mind works. I think you would have to work really hard to get here within a year. Now a master, there are probably only a few, probably less than 5 of them on this forum. They almost have full control over their LDs and the frequency and have been doing it consistently with good results for a couple of years. The higher you go, the more variety there is between the people, more individuality, they really have their own way of doing things and all have a great unique story. I believe Sensei (previously known as BrandonBoss) is well on his way to become a master.

So there you go, keep working and I hope things will work out for you
