I've never been able to do lucid dreaming. Josh tells me that he usually knows when he's dreaming, but that's only happened to me once and I still couldn't direct it.
It takes practice. There are lots of good techniques out there, just Google them.
The main thing is to set an intention every night before you go to bed, that you will remember your dreams the next morning and that you will become aware of them as they are happening. Also make sure you have a pen and notebook next to your bed and take notes as soon as you wake up.
Another good training technique is to set an alarm to wake up about 90 minutes earlier than you would normally. Then lie there and see what happens. You'll probably be in that half awake state, probably more asleep than awake. That's when lucid dreaming happens easier, IMHO anyway.
If my hubby has a bad dream, he will often go back to it, in that half awake state, and direct the outcome to a more favorable one. Good training.
I've tried that before, and it just seems to be something I'm not capable of. The alarm thing might be difficult, since I no longer get up at a set time. I could give it a shot though. I've read about it & discussed it with people who do it, and I've tried it a lot over the years without success. :/
