Lucid dreaming to me is something you can practise but having the natural ability to become lucid is a GREAT help. I spontaneously become lucid from time to time but I also find that cues in dreams make me lucid or having a repeat of the same dream and realising it also makes me lucid. Reading about lucidity and thinking about it in waking life also help me if I really want to become lucid. The classic signs for me are mirrors (reflection is distorted), looking at my body parts (you may have extra fingers or look deformed) or just simply knowing how I dream and picking up on tiny cues such as how everyday things look (my dreams mostly don't 100% resemble waking life and I've learnt to notice the little things to tell I'm dreaming).
Recently I have been dreaming and knowing I'm dreaming but can't quite control whats happening, like my body plays out the dream but my mind knows I'm only dreaming so it's a battle between body and mind. I think this is because I'm feeling a little out of control in real life so my subconscious is doing the same in my dreams! I'll soon get out of this phase and get back to my mission of becoming fully Na'vi and lucid in my dreams.
Don't give up though, you have the rest of your life to keep trying and you will succeed one day as most people experience lucidity at least once in their lives (read this in a book about lucid dreaming).
