Welcome to DV!

For a complete beginner, it will take some effort and dedication. Some people have an easy time, so for a complete beginner it could take less than a week, or more than a month to have the first lucid dream. Also, people's minds are very different, so what works extremely well for someone may not work at all for someone else.

The tried and true, basic way of getting to have a lucid dream is:
- Have a good dream recall (easily accomplished by keeping a dream journal)
- Perform reality checks often throughout the day. Don't just assume that you are awake. If the reality checks fail, try it again, maybe a different one.

There are way too many other little methods that work very well for some people. The only way to find out what works for you is to try it. Read up a little bit on the [topic="http://www.dreamviews.com/tutorials.php"]tutorials section[/topic], there are a lot of useful information there.

How is your dream recall right now... how many dreams on average can you remember a night? Have you had a lucid dream before? How did you hear about the subject and about Dream Views?

Good luck on your journey to Lucid Dreaming... with some effort, it shouldn't take long before your first experience!
