I found the most useful way was to get into the habit of regularly asking myself "Am I dreaming?" during the day, and checking whether what I was experiencing had continuity with the rest of my waking life or not. If you do this late in the day, and as you're relaxing off to sleep it works better. I found I didn't have to do that very often before the habit carried over into dreaming. Once something you're experiencing fails the "reality test", then you know you're lucid dreaming. It probably helps to have a reasonable grasp of reality.
The other thing that's useful is to be aware of which common motifs, people, places and situations occur in your dreams. Some years ago I noticed that power cuts occurred much more commonly in my dreams than in real life. I started asking myself whenever the lights failed: "hang on could this be a dream?". This led to my first ever lucid dream.
Mostly, I think, it's practice. It's like learning to remember your dreams.
Lucid dreams are a fun way to explore different levels of consciousness, and can be very pleasurable - especially if you master the knack of flying. It helps not to take them too seriously, but just enjoy them.

Sleep paralysis and Lucid dreaming are not the same thing. I have experienced both many times and I have never been able to identify a common trigger for lucid dreaming. The only thing that stands out is of the 30 or so paralysis episodes I have experienced, at least 5 of them have occured when I have been in a hotel room. All paralysis episodes have been when I have been by myself.

the way I do it, I first think of what it is I want to experience in the dream. If I have a question, I repeat it in my mind. I write this down in my Dream Journal before bed.
When I am ready, I lie down on a comfortable bed in a very dark room, on my back with my face up toward the ceiling. I close my eyes and try to look deep into the darkeness behind my eyelids. While doing this I practice deep breathing and try to just lose myself in my breathing and the darkness. That is when it begins. At first it is a bit scary because I can still feel my body laying there while I'm dreaming. At this point I try to focus more on my surroundings in the dream than the fact that I am dreaming. It never fails that everytime I consciously aknowledge "I am dreaming", I wake up. So instead I try to look around and walk around. I keep this thought in the back of my mind though; "I am in control". I repeat this to myself whenever I seem to get lost in the dream and forget I am dreaming.
Hope This Helps!

Getting enough rim sleep, you need more sleep and a more restful sleep. You may need to see a doctor to get some sleeping pills.
