The best book (IMO) is Stephen LaBerge's Exploring The World of Lucid Dreaming. Stanford prof who took some insight from buddhist lamas who did dream yoga, along with his own scientific method, as much as you can possibly use the scientific method. He mentions many induction techniques.

Two simple induction methods are
1) Reality Checks
2) Goal Affirmations before sleep

#1 being the most important, #2 to supplement it.

A reality check is something we do in "waking" life (no movie pun intended, btw i hated that movie as its nothing like dreaming or lucid dreaming) to check whether or not we are dreaming. The main purpose is to get us in a habit that will appear in a dream that will cause us to be lucid.

I like to say "Reality Check" outloud or in my head, then look at something that is very clearly fixed, such as writing or a clock. Look directly at it, at each possible detail along with what is actually written. Spell the words out or repeat them slowly or read the clock slowly then look away, then look back at what you read. Do this 3 times. In a dream 99% of time it will be different in an obvious way.

Try to do this as often as possible. Sometimes I set an alarm, sometimes I also have signs in my house that say 'reality' check in random places. i had one on the dashboard of my car until someone mentioned it may be a bad idea when i got pulled over. haha

#2 is just reminding yourself to LD before bed, and affirming that you will and can do it.

when I want to lucid dream a lot, I set my phone to a RC reminder hourly. This is very effective in habit building which will appear frequently in dreams. However, its most effective when you actually pick out situations in real life that seem strange or unusual (e.g. someone who swears off meat perhaps eats a bite of chicken) which are more correlative to dreams. When you can spontaneously RC based on strange RL things, you will be able to lucid dream on average of at least 5 times a night, counting 2 dreams in a night when you lose lucidity but regain it in a later dream or during the same dream.

That basic method will get you very, very frequent lucid dreams if you are diligent. But you have to want it.

IMO meditation is taught out of order. I would first get good at dream yoga, do at least one WILD (A wake induced lucid dream), then attempt meditation. The WILD take some practice, and is pretty awesome. You go into a dream aware, sucked out of your "real" body into your "Dream" body. Requires you are going directly into REM sleep however, such as waking up in the middle of the night or taking a nap.
