How long does it take to have your first lucid dream?

One study showed a group of committed students were able to have their first lucid dream, on average, within 3-21 days. They were equipped with the right tutorials and practiced mindfully every day.

This is a guide only. Some people already possess the skills and have their first lucid dream the same night they discover the concept. Others may take months to learn the skill, especially if you're only making a half-hearted approach.

If you are struggling to have your first lucid dream, ask yourself:

• Are you dream journaling every morning?
• Are you spending at least 20 minutes a day on mindful meditation?
• Are you raising your self-awareness during waking life?
• Are you practicing your reality checks frequently and mindfully?
• Have you planned out what you'll do in your first lucid dream?
• Are you unconsciously incubating the desire to lucid dream?
• Have you mastered any in-depth lucid dreaming techniques?

If you feel you have been practicing for a long time with no results, your technique may be letting you down. I recommend you check out my in-depth course for beginners, The Lucid Dreaming Fast Track, for detailed tutorials, troubleshooting advice, and my personal ideal strategy for having lucid dreams as soon as possible.
