Thankyou very much for the reply and for your suggestions.

I came to wonder about two things though after browsing this site most of the afternoon;

First: How quick a progression have you more experienced dreamers had? I understand that this surely varies a lot between every individual, but do you remember how it all begun? How much were you able to do in your first LD, how long did it take before you reached the second "milestone" (whatever you were aiming to accomplish) etc?

Second: I understand that you are able to summon DCs (based on people you have met in RL) once you get experienced enough... You see, there's this person I met several years ago who I have almost forgot what she looked like. Let's say that I would be able to summon her someday - is there a chance that my subconscious might have stored her appearance, and if so, my conscious memory of her would be refreshed by seeing her again - am I right?

And also; what is the best/quickest way to manually end a LD (if possible)? Is there some special thing you can do that is almost certain to wake you up?

Thanks for any and all inputs!
