Lay on your back and pay attention to something. I have had lucid dreams since I was a kid, although it took until adulthood before I discovered what it is. Since it used to scare the bejeebus out of me, I learned rolling onto my side allowed me to fall asleep without the creepy death-like thing. Weirdly it only ever scared me early in the night. In the morning, if I wake up but then fall asleep, I get lucid dreams again, but they are far more entertaining and lack the dark scary thing. One thing I noticed, and it makes me aware I'm in a lucid dream, is that even though everything feels real, there are a LOT of glitches. For example, once I was playing guitar and it was glorious hero-level axemanship. But at the same time, I realized it was in slo-mo and completely non-technical. When I woke up, I realized what I was dreaming was really crappy guitar playing, but at the time, I might have shamed Yngwie, lol. For all intents and purposes, it really was happening, and other than the wonkiness, I had full "normal" control - a thought process that is barely distinguishable from being awake and actually experiencing it all. When you do realize you are lucid dreaming, try not to over-react or you will wake up. When you're having a good lucid dream, and excite yourself awake, it's quite a bummer. As soon as you get that far, you can "rewind" your dream and replay any part differently, or just do whatever you want - there are no physical laws. Everyone is different, but that's my observations.
