If you are new, it is always a good idea to practice/train for DILD (dream induced lucid dream). I suggest keeping up with a dream journal and performing some RCs (reality checks) during waking life. When you perform these RCs, take a moment to look around at your environment and actually pretend that you are within a dream. Then perform your RC. If you are able to question reality in the real world, you will do the same within the dream world.
For WILDs, I use a technique that I have pieced together from experience as well as other techniques. There is link to my WILD method in my signature.
If you haven't already, I suggest checking out the "DreamViews Wiki" (especially the tutorials sections). You may find the information quite useful.
No matter what techniques/methods you try out, I would suggest always keeping some of your focus on DILD.
Good luck to you, and if you have any further questions, don't hesitate to ask!
