If you want to remember your dreams, keep a dream journal and write down your dreams right after you wake up. Soon, you’ll get the hang of it and you’ll easily be able to vividly remember your dreams!

I'll rephrase it then:
I DONT WANT TO DREAM LUCIDLY, EVER.
How's that working for you?
Just let me know.
We aim to please!

Ok
It has been shown that using a simple optical line sensing device 3mm from the eye could be used to detect REM.
QRE1113 could be used in a circuit with processor and a Bluetooth link to analyse the info and to provide necessary feedback to make dreamer aware.
Just put in notes taken from lectures on how the brain uses stimuli, this is one trick that can be used to focus the waking mind.
BLOG in my profile, not a thesis, just notes for those who wish to know use for links.
I learned to do it myself many years ago. But I had to stop, because it was tiring me out (it doesn't count as real sleep, I'm afraid).
Incidentally, what FCUK mentioned is indeed a sizable obstacle: as soon as you realize you're doing it, you tend to wake up. I did seem to get past that after a while (but like I say, it ended up leaving me a bit frazzled).
I typically automatically go lucid when something I really don't want to happen is going to happen in my dream - i.e. get ripped apart by a horde of flesh eating zombies - I'll go lucid and instantly disintegrate them all - so often it's in life and death situations... but not always
Lucid dreaming happens with me quite number of times.

aka a nightmare?
If you get into a lucid nightmare, just create an area around you and believe that nothing can go in the circle and harm you. Then imagine a door behind you and turn around. Imagine the place you want to go is right on the other side of the door and step through - you’ll then be in a lucid dream!

The problem is, that I don't even know what I am dreaming about!

Kind of. I typically enjoy "nightmares" until it gets to the point where I might experience something very unpleasant - for instance I was dreaming I was in this dark mausoleum that was glowing with some otherworldly blues - it was very creepy but very cool at the same time. It wasn't until I got trapped in a room with the sound of 1000s of people banging on the only door that I went lucid, as soon as the door burst open I cast a spell that incinerated everything that came out of the door... and the dream was all good again:)
