How long did it take for you to be able to choose when to lucid dream?
I learned as a kid to deal with nightmares. I would be scared, and then wonder if this was a dream, and poof. I was free.
Can't do it anymore though :(. I think, as a kid, it just kinda started happening. It wasn't intentional at all; a natural solution to recurring nightmares I guess. It made for some cool times.
a few months, but i've always had a sleeptime paracosm. i was very ill, on a lot of drugs, and living somewhere awful enough i preferred dreaming.
A couple years of working on it. Lots of "intention" work, going to bed with the idea that you'll be lucid this time. Find things in your dreams that ONLY happen in dreams, use these as cues. The more you deepen these thoughts, the more likely you are to, one day, go "Oh I'm dreaming!"
The first time lasts maybe 1-2 seconds before you forget you're dreaming again. But each time you do it, it can get longer and longer, and then you can try things, like flying or fantasy sex.
