What is the technique behind lucid dreaming, and how difficult is it to accomplish?

I've always wanted to fly in my dreams. My friend said he did it one time, but he couldn't hold the image long enough so he always fell.
Apparently it's hard to fly.

Yeah, I do it quite a lot. It depends on my state of mind. I do it most when I'm stressed about something. I've never intentionally done it, however. I can't do anything too unusual in them.

I can't do the flying thing like Ivan.

Yes, but you're not a permanent resident of the ozone layer like Ivan is.

At some point in our advancement of technology might it be possible to put someone directly in a lucid dream state? Could this then open boundless opportunties to experience things. For example, in the movie "strange days"?

In a true lucid dream, you should be fully aware that your are dreaming; and you should have total control over your dream. In my experience this was the case. The funny thing was that in the dream, I didn't think to do the same things that I might think of while awake. For example, why I chose to fly out the window [of the monorail] and then around the city, instead of choosing to be attacked by ten naked women, is to this day a mystery to me. It was like I had control of the dream but not my own thoughts. Very strange...

...that they therefore have total control over it?
