Step by step, usually..
>dream journal
>DILD, look for odd things, do reality check when awake, etc
>FILD, the easier WILD, to get you there quicker
>WILD at will.
If you want, you can change your sleep schedule to maximize rem sleep, or get/use a tracker to time when your rem sleep is. If you know when it is, set an alarm for that timeframe, waking you up just enough to remember to WILD w/o too much wakefulness.
They make masks and stuff for DILD, but idk how well they work.
4x a day, ask yourself "is this a dream?" and remember what you were doing in the past 20 minutes

>Reality checks
OP, if you need more details or have more questions, post them. I work nights, and am just heading to bed, so I'll be back to answer shit in 9hrs or so.
I wave my hands at things and try to make them telekinetically respond to my will. If it works, I'm dreaming. If it doesn't, I'm awake. It's not a very noticeable mannerism. It doesn't always work in dreams, but it doesn't ever work in life.
I wish it would work when I was awake too, but nothing on earth has given me cause to expect it. Instead of being what I would most prefer, it serves instead to differentiate dreams from reality.

you get drunk, then you go out, then you meet someone that you think looks pretty, you wake up the next morning, there is a king of goblins from Moria in your bed, hope its just a dream.
Twenty years later and few truckloads of Oreos and you're still wondering is it all just a fucked up dream or is the king of goblins in the kitchen real.
I still hope its just a lucid dream gone wrong.

Not OP, but what do these abbreviations stand for? Are there any substances (preferably legal) that I could have to assist in lucid dreaming or just dreaming more in general?

Turn inward and become disconnected from reality. Live in your own fantasy world and stop interacting. Basically, become autistic

Being Lucid means you have control, Anon.
You don't have control.

Something like this. If you become semi- aware that you're dreaming, try to look at your hands. There may be something fucked up about them (wrong color, extra digits, etc.). This can trigger it.
