A couple of weeks.
I still didn't get my first lucid dream, but I was able to become lucid for about a secound or two before the dream ended.
It took me 13 days after starting,, guess im just lucky. But i use to be able to lucid dream frequently when i was younger:banana:
I guess im really lucky. Last night was my 2nd night of the dream journal, and my last dream was a lucid one, my first one. I was at a beach. Lasted about 20 seconds Dream Standard Time.
tonight i hope to get a longer one.
A month
Precisely 6 days, 4 hours. I write in my DJ vigorously, so that may have been a factor...
I read an insane amount of information on the topic the night I found out about it, and had an LD that night. It took me about a week to get my next. Reading vast amounts of new information each night helped a lot. I've been having them in frequent spurts ever since.
Took me about a month and a half. At that point i was gona take a break because i had no success. That day i had a spontaneous wild. I had a dild 2 weeks after!
Just got my first one last night, after trying for about a year.
About a week after I got interested in LD (today) :)
A little under a week. Now, while I have dry spells, if I focus on it even a little bit I usually have multiple a week. I beleive it really does get easier, and they become longer and more frequent after you get a few under your belt. The first few are probably the hardest.
Well i got into lucid dreaming about a year ago, and kinda forgot about it in a month... then just last night i got my first lucid dream, and remembered dreamviews!
When I first heard about lucid dreaming (about a month ago) I tried to have a lucid dream that same night (first try) and somehow, someway I had a lucid dream that same night.
I had my first lucid dream on the first day I heard about.Quote:

One day after joining this site. Granted, I spent hours at a time reading articles and watching videos about sleep paralysis and lucid dreams, plus I was sick, so I took plenty of naps.
My first real one was last night. I've been trying to WBTB for about 2 weeks, then one try at MILD and I get a lucid moment and then a lucid dream.
Had my first Lucids at around 9 years old. Had countless lucid dreams since then. But first heard of lucid dreaming 9 years later. I was quiet dissapointed that i was not the only one who could do it hehe. None of my friends ever beleived me, and thought of me as insane.
Never tried to have lucids. But because of nightmares as a child. I stayed awake as long as possible. Usually lieng in my bed for at LEAST 1 hour before going to sleep. I stayed up as long as possible to avoid nightmares. Thinking about whatever i wanted until i fell asleep.
Ofcourse the lucid dreaming has come at a cost... it still takes me around a hour to fall asleep. I can not just fall asleep, unless under influence of alkohol aso.. But it is rather nice having that one hour extra of alone time + lucid dreaming. Even though i actually like dreams where im not in charge more. So rarely have lucid dreaming except when having nightmares now.
I actually often ignore, that i realise it is a dream. I just try to play along :P.
I guess i'm also one of the lucky ones.
I just had my first LD last night and i found out about lucid dreaming less than two weeks ago. It was short though.
Two weeks
A couple of months. Started last summer
1 day
also of think I can have LD's by willing myself into without method I did last night
if it works anytime this week I know I've got a way to have an easy LD :)
6 days.
First night after heard of it, WILD.
Hooked from the first :D
My first lucid dream happened before I knew what lucid dreaming was! But after I learned about it online, and when I decided to consciously pursue it, it took me weeks. I think part of the reason was because I thought in the back of my mind I couldn't do it. It got to the point where I completely gave up sometimes as journaling didn't seem to help.
I think that the attitude you bring to the table may affect your success. At least it does for me- everyone's different! :D
But after I changed my attitude and started getting some incredibly vivid dreams, I actually succeeded. Within the span of the next several years after that I had many lucid dreams. However, I am far from an expert at it. The reason being I tend to go on and off with the whole thing. I get distracted easily at some points and stop trying altogether. But I'm back on the train now! Hahaha :boogie:
