I was into the forums a lot, tried many techniques, but all they did were give me vivid dreams at most. Then i just quit.. I still wanted too have lucid dreams but i just stopped trying..

Then one night i went to sleep very late, at 2 am and there i had my first lucid dream.. It was EXTREMELY UNSTABLE.. Some stuff would be frozen.. i would try to do things and it would like glitch or something.. The way i became lucid was there was a friend of mine in a dream and i suddenly noticed i was dreaming so i told him.. He just stood there, so i ignored him, we were in a forest and i started to explore. Then this kept happening, it kept going into like a POV screen (point of view) as if i were looking in a movie theater or on the computer. Dark all around, except i could move and see my hands. So kind like playing a first person shooter in the dark. Then i finally i lost it, (what a waste!) when my brother woke me up. It was a school day, and it was 5 minutes till my bus..

I was so happy and stuff.. but it was barely anything so i just was like whatever.. Then that night i went to sleep late, again. Another LCD! This time i was again with a friend, a different one, and we were sitting on desks. I found out i was lucid and told him. He just look my way and didn't respond. Then i said "Really, watch this!" I had tried to make a fireball, i read another post on the forums, that someone had tried this, thats how i remembered. I tried but nothing happened, i just kind of imagined the fireball in my hand. Then i just become non-lucid and i forgot the rest..

2 LCD in a row, without trying

Techniques:
Late nights (kinda stressful,had exams, project (i was working on it, the first late night LCD)

Telling my friends
I talk to my friends a alot about lucid dreams, they don't know the concepts but i use them and say "Am i dreaming?" they would be like -.-".. but it still helped me
