I first saw the phrase "Lucid dreaming" on an article that came up on StumbleUpon a few days after I got my own internet access, in the summer of 2006. It talked mainly about how to have a "thousand-year dream" and had to do with some kind of zen, and I didn't think it was for me. I was still curious about dream control though, so a day or so later I googled the phrase and found this forum. 
I followed the guides, and after 20 days of dream recall, I got my first lucid dream! I kept going for a few months, but wasn't getting LD's or successes as much as I wanted, so I dropped it for two years. Then in 2009 I committed to try for LD's the whole year, and got tons of practice.

It was back when I was editor-in-chief of my high school newspaper. One of the staffers had an idea of running an article on LD's. I had no idea what it was and they explained it to me. Several months and many long nights later I had my first lucid fragment. Then I discovered this place and it's all been downhill since.
Current LD goal(s): Defeat Xander in our lucid duel!

I haven't really learned to LD. I just randomly have an LD sometimes.
I used to dream alot when I was younger, mostly nightmares or random dreams.
Eventually when I got a little older, I realized that I was dreaming, but the dream would end when I did that.
Later on I started to be more aware that I was dreaming and that's when I also realized that I could control myself for the first time! When I was younger I could never control myself in a dream, I would just walk around, do random things, but now I can even fly if I'm lucky!

I used to LD as a child, but did not know that it was not normal; as I got older I lost the ability. Then while traveling through India in my wandering days I stumbled upon Castaneda's book and tried seeing my hands in my dream. It worked on first try, but I was not really into it at that time, so I forgot about it again, until a good friend of mine approached me one evening and asked me if I knew what lucid dreaming was. I guess it was the right time for me now to really get back into it. I had my first LD since India about a couple of weeks after our conversation. My friend was in my dream and his presence triggered it, and the second LD as well.
Current LD goal(s): ~get better at making a healing energy sphere, conquer doubt, fear & negativ

Actually, I didn't try to learn how to do it!
I remember when I was 10, I had this crazy dream, and at the end I said "Done, now I need to wake up!"
And lately I've been reading a lot about LD, and guess what?
I'm a natural lucid dreamer

I learned to do it on my own.
I still haven' t read anything on how to do it as i guess I am a bit superstitious and don't want anything to block or change the way I have been progressing with it. I know it probably sounds crazy or dumb. I want to have a better hold of it though before I read on to take it even farther.
I guess it started with being really interested in my dreams. They were usually great but sometimes they were too 'dark' and i couldn't get out of them so i would tell myself before bed that I needed to realize that in my dreams that it's just a dream. That didn't pay off until like a year later.

for fun one day, i was researching sleep patterns and the dream process (yes i'm a nerd  ) and i stumbled upon lucid dreaming. I was curious to see how it all worked, and managed to come to this fantastic site.

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forums. Anyway, I learned to lucid dream (first one last night!) from listening to binaural beats for about a week, every night as I went to sleep. I read the blog at Rhythmheal (link <mod>removed</mod>) and decided to try it out as well. Binaural beats worked really well!

My first lucid dream I guess wasnt technically lucid. I woke up in my dream to some startling things and as i closed my eyes to go back to sleep (still in my dream) my sister was sitting on my bed next to me. I immediately began lucid dreaming because i skipped all the stages before REM since i was actually still asleep. I remember telling my sister exactly what i was seeing as i was seeing it and then jumped off a balcony into a huge chasm with absolutely no fear of death. After this i forgot that i was dreaming and just became part of the dream again.

How I learned... I didn't learn. I had it since I was 3, and had it ever since. (im 16) I don't know how I got it, but everynight I have lucid dreams so it comes naturally to me. Everynight im either have two modes: A adventure dream ( I do have control, but sometimes I dont. It depends what adventure im doing.) or a dream- life dream, ( It would be my life inside that world,and I can control that) I just realized what I have cause I found it on google. Now I want to learn more about my other world.

My first LD was probably caused by me reading so much about lucid dreams on this site that it made it's way into my SC. So yeah, I learned to LD from this site.
