Not a nuisance at all; everybody loves to feel knowledgeable.
I wouldn't say that there's necessarily a correlation between the first lucid dream and any subsequent ones, but there's certainly one between intent and results. Especially now that you know a little what it might feel like, you're probably more likely to have one, and wanting it definitely helps. That being said, it sounds like your dream recall isn't that fantastic, so it's quite possible you'll have a lucid dream (or that you already have) and forget it! DILDs are great, but as far as I know, it's much easier to guarantee a lucid dream with other techniques like WILD or DEILDs.
