Yeah, I've lucid dreamt a few times before!
Usually I think a good way to know if you're dreaming is the idea that you can still control few aspects of your dream, so try to think of flicking a light switch. That's how I tend to trigger it sometimes, other times my brain just finds some weird discrepancy in the dream and I either wake up or end up lucid dreaming.
As for getting lost, I'm not entirely sure! The most I've been able to do in that regard is make a dream feel like an hour, but I don't know if its possible to get lost between the two easily.

I’ve been trying to do it for the longest! It’s really tougher than i thought tbh. I barely remember my dreams so any tips on how to make my self aware that I’m in the dream state?

1. Lucid dreaming can happen at any moment of the night, but the dreams that are created are only temporary. It's a dream. It doesn't matter where it happens; the dream can be anywhere, and the person that created it will have a real time clock in the background that is always ticking down on the person in the dream. The same goes for the dreams created by a human mind that can control the dreams of other people and the dream itself. It's a real dream. The same thing goes for the dream created by the brain, which can be programmed into any form, and can be used to control the dreams of anyone in it.
If Lucid dreaming happens during the day and is triggered by a person in it waking up and waking them up at night, it's an actual event. If you have an actual human mind controlling dreams of your own that you can control and you have the right to control the person in the dreams of other people, then that would not be a dream, it's not an event and the person in your dreams can't control you in that way and that is what the Dreaming Robot would do. It could be the same thing. The same is true for other people in your dream that you can't control. If you are in the dreams that your dream is based on and you are not in the dream that you want it to be, it could just be a nightmare, it could be the dream that you have in the dreams you want, and it's the same thing with the Dreaming Machine, but it's not an event. If it's an event, the person you have in your dreams can be the person you want to have.
2. If you have a dream of a real world, it is an actual thing and you are able to control that.
3. If it's not a dream that you have and the person you are controlling in the dream is not a human person, you could have a real time clock. It would just take time and it's not like a real person would be in that time.
4. You are not in control of your dream, you can't be in it and the dream is not an event and that

yes it's real, and its really fun to do.
A while back probably a year ago I tried to lucid dream by the commonly recommended methods, but gave up on that fast. These days, I naturally question reality constantly to the point where those thoughts occur in my dreams, and so I lucid dream quite often now. I did no other preparations or anything, I just fell asleep one night and realised I was dreaming. That dream only lasted a couple of seconds because I was so excited and was running around full of joy.
The more and more i lucid dreamt the longer it lasted and the better control I had over the dreams. You will be able to control any aspect of your dreams really. If something happens in your dream that you don't want to happen, you can just stop it from happening. One time, I was lucid dreaming and was flying around a city, and then everything started flooding and I just didn't feel like dealing with floods so I made them go away.
I dont really have advice for actually becoming aware once you're inside a dream, because as i said it just happened to me naturally
but when you do lucid dream, try telling the people around you that theyre in your dream and see how they react

As other people have stated, and for me, it was something that I slipped into naturally. I dream every night, and I can always control some aspect of it.
An interesting part is re-occurring places that seem connected, I refer to it as a dreamscape. There are people / creatures / entities that are re-occurring too. Not real people and things, but ones that have only ever existed inside my dreams. I'm really fond of some of them.
As for getting stuck in dreams, I've only experienced this a handful of times. Most of the time it will be a loop of waking up to find out you're still dreaming, and waking up in yet other dream continuing the loop. When I was younger this would likely end in sleep paralysis which is a whole other thing, but I do wonder if it is connected in some way.
