From what I read shouting "Clarity" in your dream will make it clearer, but I never really had the problem so I can't vouch for the solution. Good luck

I have not had an LD, but this makes sense to me:

1.Calm down from initial lucid excitement.
2.Rub your hands. This forces your brain to render sensory output.
3.Focus on a dream object to ground visuals.
4.Shout "Increase Clarity" and "Increase Lucidity".

Do all of this when you go lucid and I think you'll be good. Good Luck.
