I literally just flow with them helplessly. So yea, I'm far from achieving lucidity. I know how to get vivid, fairly memorable dreams (eat right before bed...particularly chocolate...but meat causes nightmares and don't take a painkiller right before bed unless you're a masochist or something *sweatdrop*) But since I'm helpless and have literally zero control in my dreams, that doesn't bring me much closer to achieving lucidity. A little closer, but not much.

I've read tips about looking at your palms or looking for dream signs and this will prove to you that your dreaming...but frankly I don't know how I'm supposed to know to do that in the first place if I don't even know I'm dreaming and am too stupid and helpless to take a moment to look at my palms. Even if I did and proved to myself I was dreaming, I'd be like "I'm dreaming...moving on" and I'd just keep flowing in the dream with no control and probably forget that happened

Once, just once, a few months ago, I had a dream in which I actually realized "Hey! I'm dreaming!" but my heart jumped and I woke up.

So, what do I do to get the gumption to prove to myself I'm dreaming without overexerting myself and waking up? (Keep in mind I am freaking stupid in my dreams )
Hi, U shouldn't call Urself stupid. Ur subconcious have ears and will not be happy with that. U should give Urself hope and credit for trying at all at lucid dreaming. I try to please my subconcious the best way I can by giving it what it wants like which RC it likes and which dreamsign it wants to use rather than using what "U" think is logical or will not work or crazy.
