Here is one that seems like a good guide:
http://www.consciousdreaming.com/lucid-d...-dream.htm
I didn't keep a dream journal but that is simply because I fail at most ordered things, but the other steps ring true. Part five brought up some interesting thoughts about how most people lack lucidity throughout the day. I have often felt like the only one who is awake in many situations because, to me, it appears that most people lack situational awareness. I am hypervigilant, which is a blessing and a curse. Increasing lucidity might not be for everyone, after all, it is much easier to drift off into what you already have figured out than to wake up and truly try to comprehend what is really going on around you.

You were doing it wrong, no really, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars. Seriously though, when done correctly you can manipulate your dreams as easy as sculpting modeling clay only on a much grander scale and instantaneously.

The "training" consisted of reading a bunch of crap on the internet and sifting out the nuggets of practical knowledge. I don't go to sleep thinking, "I will lucid dream tonight" and then it happens; when things get dodgy in a dream I can take control and change the dream or at least abort it. The trick is to be able to discern reality from dreaming and then simply take control. IOW you're doing it right!
