Iv been browsing these forums now for a few weeks, and I've read Exploring the World of Lucid Dreams by Stephen LaBerge. I remember having a lucid dream 7 years ago (the memory has never left me). When I was younger I would sometimes wake up in sleep paralysis, but a long time has passed since my last experience.
Just recently I have become interested in lucid dreaming and in about 3 or 4 weeks after I bought LaBerge's book I managed to have a lucid dream on March 9th. My recall has improved greatly and I'm setting goals to have more lucids (1 every 2 weeks). Hopefully I will keep progressing so I can share my experiences with you.
