Hello everyone

My name is Gary , 16.

I have been on and off lucid dreaming for over a year now, I have never tried it, but from reading your site I started right away. I have been reading the forums for about a week now but only signed up a few days ago. I have a few questions ,

1) Can you feel and taste stuff in lucid dreams , like can you feel pain or taste food.

2) If you know your dreaming , can you wake up?

3) I can recall about 1 dream a night with some nights with no recall , last night I remembered lots of small bits of the dream(s) and wasnt sure if it was 1,2 or 3 dreams , is it easy to tell when you get better recall or was it just one dream?

4) How long does it take to get good recall and start on trying to induce a lucid dream?

Thanks for reading!!! (first post)
