Don't worry, learning LDing and practicing techniques will not make every dream you have lucid. Many people get about 1-2 a week, some people get 1 every 1-2 days. But you will by no means lose your ability to normally dream
This tutorial should help you remember your dreams.

there are so many posts that can help you with learing the technique that you want to master, alot of them are really great too, just try reading in the tutorial section and try to see what works best for you

I believe he's asking whether he will be able to have normal dreams (ie not lucid) if he tries the techniques here.

Well I don't really have much to add to what these guys said so to Dreamviews.

Thanks for the advice. I actually had a short, slow lucid dream last night. I read somewhere about keeping focused or something that helped me, and at about 6:00 (20 minutes before my usual (school) waking time) I dreamed about flying a spaceship to a distant life-supporting planet and visiting a Disneyworld-like theme park in the planet's woods. (Before I took the wheel of my dream, a bunch of evil plants attacked me on the cargo bay of my spaceship. It's good to add suspense like that.)

Actually that rises another question: Can you feel pain during a dream? (I don't mean as in outside world pain, but like in-dream pain)

I've felt dream pain in normal dreams, but I don't recall ever having dream pain in lucid dreams. It's probably cos I know nothing can hurt me in my lucid dreams so I dont get hurt.

Yes, you should be able to feel pain.
Congratulations on the LD!

YAY! Another lucid dream. I did my first reality check! I looked at a clock that read 3:20 at some school, and it changed straight to 3:50ish right in front of my eyes. Then, once I realized I was dreaming, I felt an unintentional strong pulling sensation of going backwards. However, I launched like a rocket at an angle (despite being pulled back) and slowly floated down. (I didn't leave the atmosphere, just hit my head on the ceiling) I began to hover around, lifting things and people with telekinesis. Then, about a minute of fun later, it ended. YAY!!! LUCID!

Congratulations again. How about an extra smiley?
