I've been interested in LDs for 5 or so years, but after recent events, I've decided to take it more seriously.
I've only every had DILDs, and my experiences were few and far between (sometimes I would get a few clustered together during the weekend, but usually they were just random). This Thanksgiving break, with the food and extended sleep schedule, I was having 1-3 LDs a night (some only lasting a few seconds, others closer to 20 seconds). In addtion, my dream recall and vividness of remembered non-lucid dreams spiked. This went on for 5 days, then as soon as work started up again, the effects dropped off completely again. Last weekend I had the longest and most vivid LD of my life (2scenes, total length about 30 seconds - 1 minute) where I was actually able to stabilize, which was really empowering.
Since then, I've started keeping snippets of a dream journal again. I never really did reality checks before, but I'm trying to make that a bigger part of my dream routine. I'm also thinking of trying other methods such as WILD (which hasn't worked even once for me yet, although I've felt intense hypnagogia while trying). I'm also considering using supplements (3g Melatonin) on the weekends when I can get more sleep, so that I can delve a little deeper.
Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself! I'll be starting a more formal dream journal tomorrow and try to post here every day. Thanks for reading my spiel, and happy dreaming!
