Percy has some good tips. My advice is to dedicate yourself. Lucid dreaming is a skill - you have to practice; you won't become good at, say, playing an instrument if you don't do your research and spend little time refining your skill (it can take months to refine any LD technique. You may have to work out how to relax if you want to WILD, or your own way to successfully remember to do reality checks [MILD]). MILD is definitely a good starting point. I'd also read on self-awareness. If you'd like you can also read about WILD and DEILD the latter can be used to dream chain!
