Welcome to the forum!

Xanous gave you a great reply above. Lucid dreaming has a tendency to creep up on some people and the appearances of lucid dreaming thoughts in your dreams is good progress.

When I started at this site I found that the more I read the posts on the forum the more often I had lucid dreams or extremely vivid dreams. I feel that the more you are exposed to this material the more likely it is you will eventually have a lucid dream.

This guide is always a good place to start: http://www.dreamviews.com/introducti...-dreaming.html

Pleasant dreams!
