About Russell
Expertise
I am not a dream Interpreter, I specialize in lucid dreams. With this being said please don't ask me any questions about what your dreams mean. All dream interpretation questions will be rejected. Lucid dreams are when you realize that you are in a dream. Once you realize that you are dreaming, you can control and manipulate your dreams. I can answer questions regarding lucid dreaming, false awakening, paralysis sleep, and reality testing. I cannot answer questions regarding out of body experience.
Experience
When I was a little kid I would have 1-2 lucid dreams a year that I could control. As I got older I would have about 3-5 lucid dreams every year, but now I am averaging about 4-5 lucid dreams every month.

Question
How can I induce a lucid dream? Are there any techniques?

Answer
I would first like to apologize to you for answering your question a little late. Their are dozens of techniques, but I strongly believe the most effective technique is by doing simple reality test every day. While you are awake you should perform 1 reality test every hour that you are awake. These are simple test like flipping the light switch, checking how many fingers you have, checking the time, and etc. Light switches won't usually work in dreams, you sometimes will have to many fingers or not enough and the time on the clock will pass really really fast, hours will pass in seconds. If you do this every day, then you are bound to do one in a dream, then you will realize that you are in a dream. You should also tell yourself before you go to bed every night that you will have a lucid dream. You should also have three key words that you plan to say when you realize you are dreaming. Say them every night before you go to bed, so that you don't forget to say them in your dream. Once you realize you are dreaming, do a reality test to confirm you are dreaming,now say the three key words that you are supposed to say. This will prove to yourself that you are lucid and its not just your imagination.
Here is a site that list the other techniques.
