I heard that it widely varies between people when it comes to achieving your first successful lucid dream, but an average is about 2-3 months. Anyway, I was wondering what the average was on this board? How long did it take you to get your first decent lucid dream?
I had my first LD after about 10 days… but in the beginning I was doing RC’s like non-stop all day, every day. Now I only have a LD about once every two weeks.
it took me two days though i did rts all the time, i tryed to stick my finger through a wall and there u go i knew i was dreaming, though it didnt last long about 1 min
on av i get lding 3 times a week give or take
It took me 3 months before I had my first LD. Lesson: Don’t quit!
It took me about a week for my first lucid dream though, it wasn’t very clear. Just do reality checks like mad, thats what i done.
After 3 days I had a faint low lucid dream. The first month I had a few lucid moments, but I always awoke by the shock.
The first REAL lucid dream came after 6 weeks. Now (10 months later) I have 3 lucid dreams a week, sometimes less, sometimes more.
First lucid moment within a week. First LD within the next 4 weeks.
I wish I had the time to do as much dream work as I did at the beginning, you can easily become less motivated if you go to long without any success. 3-4 month dry spell but I’m getting close again. After my 5 diplomas I g2 write I’ll be good to go.
But back on topic it all really depends on your motivation, the time you invest. You reap what you sow and all that. 
Unless you’re a ‘natural’

The average is about one month so far, but is varying as expected.
I think Raging_Canadian is right, depends on how much effort you put forth. I am trying to put more effort into reality checks, but I forget to do them throughout the day. I don’t think I am concentrating enough when doing them either.
I can’t remember, but hte first year I guess I had no more then 5 LDs.
I think I only got interested in LD after having my first 2 LDs.
it took me about 3 weeks or a month… Then i had another 3 weeks later, but i havent had another one for a while…
it took a week… since then i’m up to one or two a week.
wahaha! soon i will control the world!!

three days, one of my favorite LD’s…as most first ones are.
My first LD came 5 days after I first heard about the whole idea of realizing you are dreaming. The next one was 5 days later. In between I had a few dreams where I was reading a book about LDing, or something like that. Hopefully I’ll keep this pattern.

i had my first ld about maybe a month after i had heard about this thing. actually i haven’t had any lds since that, so maybe it was beginners luck or something… too bad…
Hmm… 
It only took me a week. Maybe that’s because I’ve had LDs before when I was young but didn’t know exactly what they were. I still remember one. I was running around a house and I yelled to one of my friends “WOW! You’re in my dream too!” I had a few more but I don’t remember most of them…
I had a few spontanious ones without trying. But after I serously became interested and made LDing a practise, I had one after about a month.
