      Yes, do not TRY to have a lucid dream (just have it). Do not worry about having the lucid dream, or anything about it. Do not think of lucid dreaming as something that is hard, or unobtainable. Do not neglect those tips listed here (dream journal and techniques, and whatnot). Do not set yourself on fire before going to bed. Do not sleep with the TV on. Do not become excited when you realize that you are dreaming.

      I would say one of the biggest things you should not do is to try and do everything in a hurry once you get lucid. This makes your subconscious build a sort of archetype that makes you wake up very quickly from your lucid dreams. I've been working to overcome that for quite a while.

      That's useful advice right there. So far in my lucids I've tried to let things develop slowly and naturally.
