Ensure that you are alert and awake, yet can still get away with more rest if you wanted it. Lie down in whatever position is most comfortable for you, and at this point, I contract all of my muscles at once and hold them fully contracted for as long as I can bear to hold them. Someone watching you would probably laugh their head off. But, when you release the contractions after that, you just relax and can't really feel your body after a few minutes of being completely still. Do not focus your eyes, and do not let your mind focus hard on lucid dreaming. Set your intent, trust yourself. Plan your goals for this dream session ahead of time. After a while, you might see some swirling colors or images, and you should really only be able to feel your breathing taking place, and your mind slowly drifting off. At this point, your body is going to test your mind to see if it is still awake, and it will give you all kinds of reasons to shift your position, scratch an itch, or move around in general. Don't move, and when you start to feel vibrations and this spreading buzzing feeling all over your body, embrace this and then set your intent once again to enter a dream. When you start to see images, sit back and watch like a spectator, but do not focus your eyes yet on details. When you see a fully constructed scene, will yourself forward "into" the dream. Stabilize it, by engaging all of your senses, and forget about your physical body. Proceed with your objectives.
If the dream collapses on you at any point and you are in sleep paralysis, embrace it, and set your intent again for lucid dreaming, and go back in. If you do not know if you are in sleep paralysis, act like you are, and go back in.
