    i can help you lucid dream in two steps.

    1. develop a habit of looking at your wrist [as if you would a watch] every fifteen minutes and saying aloud or internally, 'am I dreaming?'
    2. consume 500 mg Melatonin, 1000 mg Valerian root roughly 30 mins before bed.

    once you're in bed, lay back, close your eyes, and focus on your breathing. you'll slip into unconsciousness fairly quick. the melatonin and valerian will keep you under. the habitual checking of the wrist will create a sudden habit, which will manifest itself in a dream very quickly [see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris_effect]. once you actually mimic the habit in your dream, you may realize you are in fact dreaming, due to the issue of 'how did I arrive here?,' wherever here may be.

    Congrats, you're lucid. lucidity is tough to maintain, hence the sleep aids. also I'd develop the wrist-check habit for at least two days before taking the herbal sleep aids, simply because you don't want to build up a tolerance to them. they work, but tolerance builds swiftly.
