Welcome! I'm starting out too - I've wanted to have a lucid dream for a couple of years (I was lazy and gave up on it), but I've recently had an amazing experience with a random lucid dream and I am much more committed now. My recall has improved as well and I can distinctly remember my dreams from the last 3 REM cycles. Make sure you read a lot about MILD and practice awareness. Since I've started I've had about four lucid dreams.
