Let's face it...most of us are having trouble getting Lucid.
I say we think outside the box.

Let's turn the tables and bring reality to our dreams, but by our choice.
I say think about your day as you normally would, but concentrate on a part of your day you want to dream about.
Chances are your subconscious wants to dream about part of your day, so give it to it!
Focus on this bit fully before going to bed in as much detail as you can.
Find a point where you will reality check and you are so familiar with that situation it will be second nature in your dream to RC when there.
It only happened today, so it can't be that hard to focus and remember it.

Let's do it !!!

It sounds like a VILD, but since you pick something that actually happened recently, it should be a clearer scenario. Plus, for those that dream about the previous day, you have the added bonus of picking something your brain would consider anyway.

This worked for me last night again.
I woke up at 1.30am and thought of the same event from the day just passed (Not a previous dream) and went to sleep again thinking of it. (I had done this on the way to sleep too)
I had sleep paralysis within 30 seconds and went Lucid.
Worth a try folks.
