I'm amazed there's people out there that can't do it. Kinda like finding out there people who don't have an inner monologue.
It's so easy. Leave your curtain open so you get light in the morning. On a Sunday or when you lie in just let yourself drift in and out of sleep.
Be conscious of the fact you're falling back to sleep and focus on going back to the thing you last remember dreaming.
Realise you have full control of everything. Kinda like Neo in the matrix.
It's great walking up from a nightmare where you're being chased by something then falling back to sleep knowing you're going to kick it's ass when you sleep back in.
When you're 'plugged' back into your dream you stop trying to run, face the fear and lay down a sick anime special move!
It's not always so easy for everyone, I've been trying for years with effort off and on with plenty of studying and have had maybe two lucid dreams ever. I have never been able to remember many dreams, I think that is a big factor. When I did have the lucid and semi-lucid experiences it was when I had been in the habit of writing my dreams down, it increased the number of dreams I remembered massively.
