I started trying to have lucid dreams a few weeks ago. I have good dream recall, at least 3 a night, sometimes up to 10. Its been like that for about a year. Ive been doing reality checks but only when i can remember, and once in a dream i looked at my watch, and first i noticed that it wasnt my watch, and then i noticed that i couldnt tell exactly what time it was… The two hands were the same length so i guessed the earliar time… Then i just went back as if it was normal… Then i woke up and looked at my real watch for the time… I think that was my closest… Im wondering how long people here think it will take for me to have a lucid dream…
If you do lots of techniques and vary them then you could have a LD within a week. However, there was a post by Alayambo saying that its taken 2 years and still no LD. So it can really vary for everyone.
