I had my first real lucid dream the same night I found Dream Views. I call it my first real one because after finding the site and reading up more on it I realized that I have been having them all my life I just did not know what it was. Most at that time were very low lucidity. So I could yes to both of your questions. Yes I have always had them but I really started having them when I decided to learn about LD's. Anyway that was a long winded answer to your questions so I will just stop right here.

Oh and about how long my LD's last. I have never experimented with it. So I have no idea how long they last in real time, but they tend to last hours in dream time.
