hello Dreamsonall4S, Tomothy, Rosie, Lympicita and firenbrmstn, I hope you all enjoy being members of the LD4all community 
Dreamsonall4S, Well it’s great that it isn’t so we all have an opportunity to experience LDs 
Since you have started journaling … will you be starting a DJ in our DJ forum?
Just keep using WBTB with the method of your choice and you WILL get your very own first LD 
And a lot of them tend to come back to try again 
But (and I hate using stereotypes 
) a lot of younger members expect their early LDs to be as controlled as experienced dreamer’s LDs and get a little disappointed when they aren’t.
Rosie … after a little investigation, i know who the friend was 
It’s great that you have posted your first LD in the big topic and also started a personal DJ
and it’s nice to meet you too 
Lympicita, feel free to start a DJ in our dream journal forum too. Then if you have a simple question it is often easier to ask at the bottom of the dream
Don’t forget to read all the info in the knowledge base forum
firenbrmstn, I would suggest reading
“How to Choose Your Technique” - By Treader
and
https://community.ld4all.com/t/all-ld-techniques/24932
then take it from there
The search feature on LD4all is simple to use and should help if you are looking for something and will often be faster and more productive than asking a question and having to wait hours for a reply 
BTW we have a 30 years and older topic you may like to post in … the link is in my signature 
/me wishes you all well in your LD quests
