you have to lie in bed until your body goes numb, then you will notice images come into your mind, with enough power, you can construct a reality. I've had lucid dreams which were inseparable from reality at times.

It can also help to repeat affirmations like "I will have a lucid dream tonight". In most attempts you will fall asleep without knowing it, but the sudden realisation that you're dreaming can make dreams lucid although because of my anxiety, the dream doesn't last long after that. You may also feel like you're dying while waiting for your body to fall asleep, this can cause anxiety which takes you out of the trance, but still persevere even if you freak out.

How do I transition from being awake and dream mode? Whenever I try to lucid dream, my body just stays in the tingly mode for hours and I can't make images form.

If you're concentrating on hoing to sleep, it won't work, when you are reminded of reality in a dream, you wake up, that's the psychic tether between here and your imagination.

Dreams are just hallucinations projected on the canvas of your eyelids, it doesn't take more than just going along with a train of thought in your mind. Maybe you could also try this while feeling really tired, like you are about to fall asleep anyway.

So, would it be best for me to daydream about stuff that seems very disconnected from reality? Would that be the route to take?

Well, daydreaming is the same principle of dreaming but without the paralysis or hallucinations. If it helps you construct mental images then it can only be helpful, a lot of my thinking is done with daydreaming, which is just relaying your subconscious to the conscious for that idea to then be assessed, which is why you're not always in charge of your thoughts.

It also helps to have a dream journal to identify the patterns of your subconscious world and to then become aware of the differences in reality and dreams. A lot of the time, checking the time will be difficult or strange in dreams, also, running, particularly for me seems impossible in dreams.
