Welcome waterghost! (I really like the name )
I just wrote something I think is important to keep in mind while practising lucid dreaming here: http://www.dreamviews.com/f20/ello-137410/
Remember that you are already capable of getting the answers of anything, I am not kidding. But sometimes it can be good and nice to have someone to get guidance from.
The Dream Guides of the forum is here for you So if you need any help don't be afraid to ask!
I just wrote something about how I with my own biology and intent prolong my own dreams that can be read here: http://www.dreamviews.com/f12/crazyn...3/#post1955014
But to give you a short answer. Find a way to either go from the waking state to the dream instnatly, wake yourself up from the dream and return, or just increase the critical thinking in general to increase your chances. So in other words the WILD, DEILD or WBTB techniques and method.
Another thing to note as well. Reality checking along the entire day is an effective tool for awareness in dreams, but is far from necessary. Just look at Robert Waggoner's book or the oroginal source of the method Carlos Castaneda, where they tell you to just look at your hands before going to sleep and then intend to see them in the dreams, and just that works.
So what your primary focus should be is on that intention behind your actions. That's all for lucid dreaming you get from me today. 
And to get some spiritual thoughts in here as well, because I can't help it I got to tell you about the power of intent...
Intention and your thoughts in general affect your life, just as we don't know how we can trigger critical substance to rise in our sleep with just intent, I can't explain how intent works in daily life as well. I have not been out partying very much lately since most of my friends study stressful courses, so well I wanted to find a way to get out more.
I intended to find a likeminded person and a way to get out more often, and one day when I were out with my friend as I said godbye to him I just felt the urge to go through the city, I had no real reason to why, it was a long detour, but I somehow did it anyway.
Thinking about my intent to meet someone I then started to wake to the bus stop and suddenly hear "Hey Chris! What are you doing here?"
We started to talk about our studies and boring stuff when he suddenly say, "I work as a promoter for a few clubs and well it have been a while since we last talked, and we never really went out and party together. Would you like to join me the next Friday? You will get in for free as well ".
..And now we are out every weekend 
Bash it all you want I just want you to understand that this is not the first time positive intention have helped me and if you understand the power of intent you can make changes in your life too.
Dam* it I never manage to write a short post.... Ah well I hope it helped you
