No there are not in fact any "short cuts" to lucid dreaming. It is not hard to obtain if you put in the time and effort.

Keeping a dream journal is very important, by doing this you can look back at previous dreams and see if there are any people, things, places, ect. that keeps occuring. This could be a dream sign. Once you have a dream sign when you see it in a dream you are aware your dreaming. This should help you obtain lucidity.

You could "lose control" of a lucid dream only in the sense that your subconscious mind might take over control of the dream from your conscious awareness.

Is there anyone with lucid dreaming experience that can help me?

If you would like to lucid dream, you should start trying to remember your "normal" dream after you wake up. The purpose of this is: If you can't remember regular dreams, there isn't any way you'll be able to remember if you had a lucid dream. All lucid dreaming really is is being conscious of your surroundings while in a dream. If you can realize that you are in a dream while in your dream, you will become lucid. There are hundreds of different ways to learn to lucid dream. The most commonly used one is asking yourself throughout the day if you are in a dream. Chances are, if you do this in your dream out of habit, you will realize that you ARE dreaming, and become lucid.
