Used journals and reality checks like looking at mirrors to get started easily. Random stuff, flying, fu... plenty of fun for a while. Then, I got to experience what lucid nightmares were like and that kind of made me hesitant. Plus my mind incorporates new things into dreams quite like my thinking in genersl does. Example of how that sometimes went bad was seeing Inception and getting stuck into 5+ deep dreams I wasnt sure Id wake up from. Simpler example was doing a whole shift to wake up in reality for work feeling the whole shift (wth...). Just said screw it lol.

Trippy part is that dream "experts" seem surprised by much of this. They should study lucid dreaming more, esp under brain scans. Might learn stuff.
