Yea it gets super easy. Like second nature. Its not as exhilarating as it was at the beginning so enjoy your first flights.
When I first tried it I just put my hands at my side and blasted up slowly like a rocket, then woke up.
I just fly everywhere now. I don't even wake up easily anymore. I find summoning people hard though.
For reference on how long it could take someone, I've had around 40 lucid dreams total and each and everyone was unique in its one way.
