Hi and welcome to DV! I'm sure you will have your first Lucid Dream you can call "real" in no time. Any dream you're aware it's a dream in though is a lucid. Check out our Wiki - Dreamviews Lucid Dreaming Community & Resource for tutorials on some techniques you can use other than just Dream Journaling (even though you need one for recall improvement), and try them out

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!
