Dream Recall is naturally very important when trying to get lucid so keeping dream diary will help a LOT. When you awake stay in bed for couple minutes and try to remember your dreams and after that write your dreams up as well as you can. B-Vitamins increase dream recall and plant called Calea Zacatechichi which is legal and makes you have extraordinary vivid dreams.
One way to have Lucid Dreams is reality checks. Good ones are using light switches often as they usually don't work in dreams. Also reading something many times as text often changes in dream when you read it again. Clock times will also change. One that I use is watching my hand and counting my fingers and trying to stick my finger through my palm. Usually just seeing your hand in dream is enough at least for me it has always been strange enough to trigger lucidity (lizard hand or too short fingers or transparent or blurred etc.).
Methods:
MILD, Sleep 6 hours, stay awake for 30mins-1hour even better if you think about lucid dreams that time. Back to bed. Repeat phrases like. "I want lucid dream, im going to be aware that I am dreaming, Im going to watch my hand when I dream. etc." visualize being lucid at the same time and repeat it until you fall asleep.
Taking a nap is effective method as you will go to REM phase almost instantly when you fall asleep
Chakra meditation is also great way to try to have lucid dream as it will make your dreams lot more vivid and it makes you often dreamy as you relax so you can try to go straight into lucid dream without falling asleep.
Chakra Meditation method by Robert Bruce
Have helped me lot when trying to get lucid.
And when you get lucid try to be calm and check your hand and ask for more clarity. Then just fly away and go meet dolphins or whatever you want to do.
Dream on.
