I am not really proficient yet, but I have come to a point when I can have at least one spontaneous lucid dream per month without really trying.

I started practicing lucid dreaming back in summer 2010, but I wasn't really serious at all and pretty much had a half-curious interest in it.
I started to become really serious sometime in autumn 2011, and after two weeks of practice I started having lucid dreams about 1-2 times a week on average, until my motivation dropped for some reason (I guess I was too busy or something).

What you need to keep in mind is that lucid dreaming is something that requires serious passion and effort;
it's a whole lifestyle, and if you are a serious lucid dreamer then lucid dreams will be more or less on your mind 24/7.
You need to really decide for yourself that you are going to stick with it, and make it one of your priorities.
Don't worry - having lucid dreaming on your mind almost all the time is actually really pleasant, because it adds a certain magic even to waking life that's hard to describe, but ever since I started practicing lucid dreaming I have always felt a certain "dreamlike" atmosphere even when I am awake, and I love it.
