Like the title says

Depends on your attitude and effort. You'll get vastly different personal accounts - for some, it was the first night of trying, and for others not until years afterward. Some are naturals and have done it since childhood. You seem committed, though, so I don't think you have long to wait.

For me the day after reading stuff on DV for the first time. It's different for all peeps, just relax into it and they will come for sure.

I'm also trying the MILD technique from the book "Exploring the world of lucid dreaming" that I recently bought, hopefully it works

*ahem*

Not to be a party crasher but I'm sure there are several other threads that discuss this topic.

I began trying to lucid dreaming back in 2001. I finally had my first lucid dream (it was AWESOME) on November 28th 2007. So... it took me six years.

wow, but did you try like every night?

I joined this forum 2 months ago.
I had my first LD Saturday night, 2 days ago.
So, 2 months for me.

I had mine the first night I knew what a lucid dream was, but then didn't have another one for a full year and even forgot all about it.

Like what has been said, it's all very dependant on your confidence and practice. I had one after two weeks. But it only lasted about 2 minutes. DON"T RUSH IT. trust me.

I've been having them my whole life.
If you stick with it and really care, from what I've seen in other people it ranges from a few days to a few years. It depends on the person.
