How can I make my dreams more vivid and potentially more lucid?

So my dreams aren't really vivid, I like to explain them as me sitting in a dark void trying to imagine things in my mind (you know it it feels, right?) and I just found out that people's normal dreams are just as if they were awake and present in the dream! That shocked me tbh and made me insanely frustrated, I am going to start a dream journal, any more tips to increase my dream's vividbeuand lucidity? Other than dream journal, reality checks and WBTB method (I am going to start all of these today)
