I had my first lucid on my first night trying lucid dreaming. I was very excited about trying this. I had done some research on it a long time ago but never comitted myself like I am now.

I was mainly focused on recalling my dreams and keeping a journal to start. I was not expecting a lucid my first night.

According to my journal I had 5 dreams overall that night, I was able to wake up after each one and write it down. The last dream of the night I was on a plane and by a stroke of luck, I had a reality check. So while the plane landed I held on to the dream trying not to get too excited. We landed and got off in the middle of the runway. It was snowing. So I tried to conjure a snowmobile but it never came. I tried a couple other things, I can't remember what, but I think I just enjoyed being conscious in a dream until I woke up. The whole thing only lasted about 2 minutes dream time. It was a great motivator and can't wait for more.

Since then, I haven't had a lucid, I'm 3 weeks in. Just started trying techniques as I have my recall down. Also need to work on my reality checks since that's how I got my first lucid.
