When I practice I can pretty reliably. Frequent reality checks while awake and dream journaling is the trick for me. I get pretty annoying sleep paralysis nearly every time I wake up from a lucid dream so it’s not something I try to do much anymore.
You wouldn’t happen to sleep on your back, would you? I used to get that often until one year it got really bad when I was sleeping on a couch on my back. I moved to the bed after putting 2 and 2 together. Haven’t had one since.

Yes! In fact the only way I have any dreams at all are when I sleep on my back. Side or stomach = no dreams, lucid or otherwise
