Welcome to Dream Views Smackit! lol. That felt funny to say Its great that you have done it a few times, good job. I would recommend starting a dream journal. When you wake up, just write down all your dreams. It will make it easier for you to find a dream sign. That is a common element that occurs in your dreams that you can use to perform a reality check. Thats a test to see if you are dreaming ( like putting your finger through your hand) When you see your dream sign, do a reality check, then you will go lucid. There are so many different techniques, so check out the tutorials: http://dreamviews.com/tutorials.php

Also, just post around and learn, we are a nice group of people, and DV is the most open minded forum I've ever found. Good Luck! PM me if you need any help or have any questions
