unfortunately for everyone, theres no way to MAKe yourself lucid dream, the only thing you can do is practice.. A LOT!!
I didnt actually have one for about a month after I found out about lucid dreaming, and that was in march. Ive had about 26 that I remember, and im sure theres been more. Reality checks, as awaken said, are the only sure way to actually get anywhere close to having regular lucid dreams, and small things like how long you slept for can change your chances a lot. One thing that worked for me was WBTB, a good technique. Check it out at :http://www.dreamviews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6147[/url]
