Having a dream journal is the first step towards lucidity, and you are already on the right track.

Once you have written your dreams down, you need to analyse them for patterns. These patterns are called dream signs. For example, you might find that you always dream of cars.
You can then use these dreams signs to recognise you are dreaming and thus became lucid.
