First, try not smoking and drinking. That usually slows the whole process. Just stay in tune with your dreams and eventually it will pay off. No simple solution. Thier is plenty of different ways to go about it. In the tutorial section and all over this site. Of course, if you want a quick tip, for when you're dream is slipping away...if youre worried about waking up, spin around really fast and you can teleport quite easily. But other than that, just keep at it.
