clock faces never show up right in lucid dreams. so make a habit of wearing a watch and constantly checking it and actually taking note of what the time is, then when you do that in a dream you will realise 'wait this watch face is nonsensical' and you will be able to lucid dream.

at least that basic technique worked for me in highschool.

Lucid dreaming is hard. It requires a lot of brainpower to not wake up inmediately after taking control. Doesn't help that people in your dreams might sabotage you. Today for example I was forcefully put in a psych ward and didn't remember how I got there then my mom showed and I told her I didn't know if what I was seeing was a dream or if it was real and she said: "Don't worry about that, don't say stuff like that" and I remember thinking thar was a pretty weird thing to say.
I should have written down the whole dream but I'm too lazy.
