Life can be busy at times, but remember that as long as you sleep, there is always an oppurtunity to do something.
Meditate yourself to sleep and well fall asleep peacefully, it can do wonders and you wont need any method at all just sleep.
And when you got the time you can use an induction method if you would like to.
Although a word about lucidity. Lucid simply means that you know that you are dreaming. So what does that mean?
Well to really understand it you need to know what it means to know, which is a very diifficult question to answer.
And well that means that it is up to you to decide, if you think you knew you were dreaming then you probably was.
And remember that you can be lucid without being very aware at all and you can be aware without being very lucid.
You can be as aware as you are now in the waking life and think rationally, but you are just convinced at the time that it is a dream, in fact many of my dreams nowadays is very real and then I wake up and think "Jesus Christ was that a dream...". And sometimes I am lucid (know that I am dreaming) without realizing that I am in fact laying in a bed, have dream control, have knowledge that dream characters isn't real, the situation I was in before getting lucid isn't important.
So as you see awareness and lucidity is very hard to define. And the only one who can make an educated guess is yourself.
The most annoying thing though is that one can dream that one is lucid as well, also called semi-lucid.
And this is basically a dream where you say things like "Oh there is a dream characters" or "Since this is a dream I would like to fly" although in these dreams you are very aware of the situation but you aren't actually aware that it is a dream. But it can only be determined by you.
So if you wake up from a dream unsure if it was a lucid dream or not, it probably wasn't. However why does it even matter? The reason that you want to lucid dream isn't to know that you are dreaming, but to experience something. So if you have a semi-lucid just be glad that you had an interesting experience.
And remember to appreciate the experiences your non-lucid dream provides you as well.
Pay attention to the dream in itself because lucidity isn't something you can be aware of, it's the dream that is important.
Awareness is different from lucidity, because awareness is an ambigous term of having knowledge and information, but lucidity is just a term to describe one kind of knowledge, the knowledge of knowing that one is dreaming.
I hope this clear some things up.
