Lucid dreaming is not hard to do. A few simple tricks and most people have a lucid dream within the first few days of trying. One of the best methods to induce lucid dreaming is the reality check. The link below is a well written page describing the reality check method of lucid dream induction. It describes techniques to help your mind actually realize that you are dreming while you are in the middle of it.
By the way, I described my lucid dream from three nights ago. I did NOT have a lucid dream the last two nights. 🙁
I am reading a very long biography of Benjamin Franklin. My next lucid dream I am going to talk to him. (obviously I will be talking to me, but talking to dead relatives or important people from history yields very surprising results.)
Good luck lucid dreaming, and write to me after your first dream!

Sweet!
