Hi everyone,

I'm extremely fascinated with the concept of lucid dreaming. I can remember doing it once or twice in my life, but not completely taking full advantage of it (controlling everything, staying lucid for a longer period of time). I read all of the articles lastnight, and I think I've got a good idea of what to do.

How many people have not lucid dreamed before and have later become exceptionally good at it?

I know I'm motivated, and I really want to experience this dreaming.

I've experienced dreams that I really wanted to remember, so I wrote them down. Only a few though.

About a month or two ago, I had a dream where I knew I was dreaming about my favorite book, although the dream was nothing like the book at all, regardless, it excited me. I wasn't controlling it, because I'm not used to and I didn't really even know the concept of completely being in control of your dreams was possible. Now though, I know it is.

There's nothing else I want more than to be able to experience lucidity. I admire all of you who can, and I'm looking forward to hopefully being able to achieve it fully myself.

By reading these pages (absolutely fascinating, great read) I've gathered that I need to become experienced at dream recall first.

There are a couple things I personally have - ADD and not being able to sleep to music, at all. Do you think these will at all effect my ability to have lucid dreams?

Thanks for reading, I'd really, really appreciate some suggestions or comments.
