Thread: 3 months and 9 days

Thats how long it took me to unlock lucid dreaming . So yeah I'm a big fan of persistence

Hello , as that's my first post . I wanted to tell everyone who's trying to start lucid dreaming that there's that guy whom took ~3,5 months but he succeeded . I honestly would've tried for 5 or 10 months , because trying alone was interesting . Whats the story ? :

About 2 years ago (no idea if that's right) I found out about lucid dreaming and was so excited that I had a lucid dream on like the second day (I realized I was dreaming on some green field and first thing that came to mind was flying (because the guy* who's post about LD I first read said it was very hard for him to learn ) - so I tried , and floated (so awesome) then my mind scrambled on other things to try and I woke up (so it was quite brief) ) . After that I eventually forgot about LD for some reason .
At some point I read somewhere in my notes about it and set out to accomplish it again.
For some time I did a dream journal but that was too ... well lets say I was too lazy . But I kept revising dreams every morning .
And kept exploring (maybe too strong of a word) my mind every evening before going to sleep (which is very interesting for me even if it doesn't lead to LD ) .
So after 3 months and 9 days I had my first kind-of-lucid-dream : I realized something's not right but I thought I was back in time for some reason and gave my Shuffle to a friend as proof I've been back in time .
The second dream that I "woke up in" - I was flying (I got to recognize the flying-dreams I think) but as soon as that happened I woke up for real .
The third one (today) was with almost full lucidity so to say . Again I was falling/flying (I think I fell in some kind of abyss and then flew) . But this time I got to consciously maintain lucidity (at least for a little while) . I saw a friend of mine and I asked her if she saw the same stuff as I (she didn't) because I had some not so sane thoughts about us having a shared dream.
I had my first dream on the 17th so all that has happened within a week.

Thanks to all those who maintain the site because I found helpful resources here
