Thread: Hey There! First Question...

Welcome to DreamViews!

Unfortunately it is not easy to give an estimate of when you will have your first lucid dream. This is different for everyone and depends on many things, like determination and motivation.

You said you recalled three dreams yesterday. How many dreams did you recall before you learned about lucid dreaming? Did you use any techniques or mantras to help with your dream recall?

To give a rough estimate, I think that if you keep it up you'll have your first lucid dream within a month. However, this can vary greatly depending on how much time and effort you put into lucid dreaming.

i try the dild technique and before thet i was able to recall one dream like 2 days before...i discovered ld 5-6 days ago
i use a dream journal
and i have kind of a high motivation because almost every ld related thing excites me so much that i really want to experience it! 8D
and what do you mean by effort and time??

If you spend some time during the day doing things related to lucid dreaming (for example: doing reality checks, writing in your dream journal, improving your awareness, etc.), you are likely to have a lucid dream much sooner than when you don't do so. If you just go to bed every night, hoping to have a lucid dream without using any induction techniques, it will take you much longer until you finally have a lucid dream.

However, it seems you are already doing great. Keeping a dream journal and being motivated are two of the most important things when it comes to lucid dreaming.
Keep it up!

Dream recall is the most important step, and with 3 dreams, I'd say you're off to a pretty good start. Unfortunately good dream recall doesn't guarantee lucid dreams.
