Hey there, I used to be a rather prominent lucid dreamer. I even wrote my own guide on how to DEILD. However, this was a long time to go, and it seems my plight with getting back to lucid dreaming is that I've forgotten virtually everything! I'm making this thread in the hope of receiving answers to a few general questions I have. These are as follows:

How long will it take to get my dream recall up to scratch?
Are the first lucid dreams typically quality, or fleeting?
How long does it take to get my dream control to the point where you can reasonably dictate the events of a lucid dream, and not destabilise?
How long will it take to have my first lucid dream? (I plan on doing regular RCs for DILDs and also using DEILD) Keep in mind that I do have lucid dreaming experience, but I haven't practised in a few years.

Obviously a few of these questions are 'how long is a piece of string' but what I'm really looking for is a generalised idea of the scope of taking up lucid dreaming once again. Cheers in advance and it's nice to be involved in the community again
