I forget my first lucid, maybe this is it lol, but it was right before highschool. After discovering it and reading about it online I had one shortly thereafter. I think it was because of the intensity of my fascination and excitement about it at the time. Having more focused intent ect. Now I've drifted away from my intent to lucid dream as my non-lucid dreams have been entertaining enough but eventually I want to get back into it. Have started doing reality checks again too.
