How can you achieve full lucid dreaming effects ?

Can a person say they're going to lucid dream and lucid dream the following night ? What are the steps would one person have to take to achieve full potential for lucid dreaming ? Stephen LaBerge from Stanford University is the world's foremost researcher in the science of lucid dreaming developed a technique called the MILD technique. MILD stands for mnemonic introduction of lucid dreaming, this is when you start to introduce lucidity in your dreams. These are the steps to his technique First set an alarm from 4-7 hours to wake you up after you fall sleep, when you wake up try to remember as much of the dream as possible and think about what happened, once you have thought you remembered as much as you can go back to bed and think that you are in your previous dream but keep in mind that you are dreaming say in your head that "I am awake that I am dreaming" or something similar to that. If random thoughts pop up in your head when you are trying to sleep repeat the self suggestion part and try again, but the longer it takes the better the chance of having a lucid dream because the more likely it will sink in.
