about three weeks ago i had never heard of or even imagine of lucid dreaming. i found dreamviews from a link from another sight and signed up for the forums right away. after about a week or so of reading up on techniques and failing at them i got my first lucid dream. heres bascially how it went down:

i had basically had pretty bad dream call for most of my teen years due to, i'm guessing: stress. well after my first day of reading up on this stuff all night i had a dream. not a very vivid dream, but a dream none the less. it was pretty excited. so the next day i did the same thing. another dream, this time a little bit more clear. at this point i wasn't keeping a dream journal and still didn't until a day or two after my first lucid dream.

since i was going to school on the weekdays i couldn't wake up in the middle of the night, so i only had one attempt at a dream per day. during the day i kept doing reality check in no real order. i just did them as i thought of them (which was a lot). like i said before, after about a week or so i got my first lucid dream. it was pretty vivid and somewhat controled. it happened on the first day i actually woke myself in the middle of the night via alarm clock.
