Tips for Lucid Dreaming

I'm not really sure if it's all the same for other people but this is how I accomplish lucid dreaming that fastest and most efficient way (if there was even such a thing).
I started having continuous lucid dreams last semester when I only had a short 2-hour break in-between subjects.

Here's how I do it:

- your body and mind must both know that you only have a short time to sleep.
- you must be willing to sleep (or more accurately, you should be tired or sleep deprived)
- both should also know that there is a possibility of something unpleasant happening when you sleep longer than the set time.
- do not listen to music
- light noise is acceptable

Here's the thing. Last semester, during Tuesdays and Thursdays, my first class is from 7 to 8 am. Afterwards, I have a short break of 2 hours, then my next class would be from 10 onward.
I always sleep for just an hour and a half so that the remaining 30 minutes before ten would be preparation time.
So during that 8 to 9:30 am, I lock the world outside and sleep.
I have at least 3 dreams on that time period and not all of them were pleasant dreams. Most of the time, I realize that I am, in fact, dreaming but I still haven't reached the point of controlling my dreams.

The most common dream within the first 30 minutes is that I wake up late for my next class, and I rush on the way, just to realize that I just woken up from a dream but time was still distorted.
Imagine the movie Inception, waking up from a dream within a dream and so on.

But do take not that this method is a personal experience, and sleep paralysis is also a common occurrence. It's not enough that you just want to experience lucid dreaming, your body and mind must both agree to it (at least that is in my case).
