Neil, I want to add a caveat to potential practitioners that lucid dreaming can be dangerous. In guided meditation and breathing exercises, each dreamer is paired with a sitter who provides safety, and an experienced person is available. Anything which is powerful carries an element of danger. In particular, if sleep paralysis is circumvented, harm could occur to the sleeper or others. Yet Coleridge's Xanadu shows why one might choose to do it.
