Thread: How long did you have to practice before going lucid?

It took me 2 weeks really. As Qwin said its different for everybody.

That "knew you was dreaming" sounded like a little bit of lucidity to me, just not much.

Oh and the stabbing thing was just a dream, there is an Interpretation forum here, which may prove useful to you.

What about practicing
Can you practice techniques, even if you know you probably won't achieve a WILD.
Like, I actually just started last night, with I think some success, but I want to get better obviously. Nothing is more painful than waiting till you can go to bed next (never thought I'd say this)
Can you practice in any sleep situation regardless of whether you'll enter REM sleep or not... and if you do
will it benefit you when you are actually in a situation where you can achieve a WILD

It's always good to practice new techniques. If you think you probably will fail WILD you'll fail.

And I had my first lucid after 1 1/2 month.
