I lucid a few times (that I remember) when I was a kid. I started recording my dreams about 3-4 years ago (no trying to be lucid) and had a few lucids just by taking notice to them. Then on my 5th day of actually TRYING to be lucid (last night) I had my first.

I was in the passenger side of a car, my wife driving and we were listening to the radio. They made a mistake on the radio and tried to cover it up. I made a joke about it then my wife pulled into a trailer park to drop me off at some mysterious trailer. I saw an old friend who was walking very stiff and with long strides. Seemed very weird, almost zombie-like (a common occurance) and then we got to the trailer. It got dark and I could just feel it was going to be a nightmare and I said "Hey, this is a nightmare!" I did a RC but it was too dark to see the results. Just as I kinda saw my finger go through my palm, I started waking up.

I'm stoked though... Good progress for only 5 days. Can't wait to have them be more frequent and longer.
