I knew that you were able to controll your dreams and such (i belive i have had one or two LD's in the past) but i never knew all the things you could do. this site realy opened my eyes to the literaly infinite posibilities of lucid dreaming. i never knew i could quite literaly do all the things ive ever thought about doing. i just need some basic advice from those who recently had their first LD. is a dream journal realy vital and how does it help? how long did it take you to acheive your first lucid dream? my mind has just been swiming with questions like these and any help would be apreciated. thanks
