my first lucid dream was a week ago and the way i became lucid was when i jumped off a staircase and thought to myself "wait im falling to slow,shit im dreaming!" and it only lasted a minute far cry 30-40 minutes.

how long did it take you ( experienced lucid dreamers) to start being lucid for more than 10 minutes and start to have a little fun with it? laying face down in a dream and not moving isnt fun but its gota get alot better.
