Thread: how long did it take for you to get your first LD?

I had my first LD about 8 years ago after watching The Matrix. The shift of perception in the movie from "reality" (being plumbed and wired into the machine) to what your mind thinks is reality no doubt triggered it. I'd been studying "Dreaming" ala Casteneda too. But I didn't work on it after that.
My second LD was a year ago after reading LaBerge's Lucid Dreaming. Again though I sort of dropped it, until a couple of months ago when I got interested again and got some other LD books and have been doing affirmations and RC's about half the time since deciding I want to learn how to do this thing.

well I started reading up on everything 3 days ago, the first night I did the dream journal I was able to recall like 5 dreams, then last night I had 3 dreams before the last one and the last one was lucid but didn't last too long and was very fuzzy but i remember it.

I guess it is part luck part me being able to remember things so quickly

i have lucid dreams at random... yet i normally dont do reality checks it just seems to come to me. last night i had one. :/

A week

It's all about awareness. Be very aware while doing your reality checks, and try to always notice anything around you that seems strange or unusual or dreamlike. Also, don't just go through the motions with your reality checks, the whole trick is to actually try to find out, right now, whether or not you're dreaming, and actually prove it to yourself.

don't worry you will have a LD one way or another,after i stoped i got my first LDs,then i started geting randoms,and now i am back at this site trying to master LDing,all in all,you will have an LD one way or another don't worry

three months, by chance. Trolling these forums really gets me in the mindset. i only really remember my dreams when I feel like it.
