Hey! I am new, and honestly I created this account just to get answers. I am a person who has trouble speaking their mind…so when I heard about lucid dreaming, I was elated! So I have a few questions.Please answer because I so badly want to lucid dream, so I can express myself!

1) With effort, can everybody lucid dream? Even if you have to wait a year?
2) What is the first step? Is the first step recalling dreams? I can manage this pretty well. Also I just started a Dream Journal.
3) Should I go ahead and start trying to lucid dream, since I can recall my dreams?
4) If yes on question 3, how do I begin? I have heard of doing reality checks, (which I have been doing these last 2 days..I discovered lucid dreaming last night), keeping dream journal and saying to myself each night before I go to sleep, “I will lucid ream tonight” like a 100 times…do these work?
5) How long will it take? I have heard usually about 7 months, but it depends on each person. But when do I know that I will never be able to lucid dream?
Anything will help! Please, I REALLY want to lucid dream, if I am capable. SO anything that you have tried and that has worked, please tell me ASAP! Thanks, so much!)
