Learning to lucid dream is all about reality checks, desire to lucid dream, and the effort you put into it.
You basically every hour on the hour ask yourself "Am I dreaming? Is this a dream?" And then pinch yourself and check to see if your dreaming. The idea is for you to do this habit while your dreaming and obtain lucidity.
Also you have to want to lucid dream really bad. You have to have the desire to do it. It's hard to get yourself to dream about something. You want to activate information during your sleep but your subconscious mind has other ideas. the only way to over ride what's going to happen is for your desire for it to be high.
