1. Most often, I find the problem lies in education. 你的翻译：大多数时候，我发现问题在于练习清醒梦的方法。这里的education是学习方法的意思。可以翻译为：大多数时候，我发现问题在于如何学习清醒梦。
2. the mindset of a lucid dreamer.你的翻译：清醒梦者该有的心态。这里翻译的不错，可以稍微增加一点就更加贴切：清醒梦者该有的一系列心态。
3. I taught myself from scratch as a teenager. 你的翻译：当我还是一个青年的时候我就白手起家开始自学。teenager的意思漏了。可以翻译成十几岁的时候。from scratch可以翻译成从头开始一点点的学。所以可以翻译为：我十几岁的时候就从头开始一点点的自学。
后面新的内容翻译的不错！意思把握的大体上都到位，就是在翻译灵活性上还可以提高一下。读起来要顺！另外，尽量不要漏意思。
最后赞一下！

How I Started Lucid Dreaming
I discovered lucid dreaming when I was 14 years old.
There was an article about it in this paranormal magazine from 1996 called Encounters - alongside Bigfoot sightings, UFO theories, remote viewing and tales of the legendary Chupacabra.
(Of course, lucid dreaming is the only scientifically proven concept among all of these alleged phenomena.)
Like anyone with a pulse, I really wanted to try lucid dreaming for myself. I wanted to feel the freedom of doing absolutely anything inside my own private virtual world.
So over the following weeks I studied lucid dreaming and read up as much as I could. I kept a dream journal and practiced guided meditation every time I fell asleep.
Soon, I acquired the mindset of a conscious dreamer. Totally spontaneously, I had my first lucid dream:
"I'm standing in an empty white room, completely bare like a new house. The lack of detail makes me wonder... What is this place? Suddenly I realize, this is a dream!
The room surges into focus. I become fully conscious of my body and my surroundings. I do my reality check and feel my fingers push right through the palm of my hand.
I am so excited, I run out the door looking for someone to tell. I find a woman who I don't recognize and shout in her face. "I'M DREAMING! I'M DREAMING!"
I'm so excited, I accidentally wake myself up."
It was a breakthrough moment for me.
Suddenly, for the first time ever, I "woke up" inside my dream world.
My environment surged into focus and I existed entirely in that reality, much like how you exist entirely where you are sitting right now. It was not fuzzy or vague. It was real. I was there.
I did a reality check - pushing two of my right fingers through the palm of my left hand - and marveled at the impossible feeling. My lucidity became stronger.
Then I made that rookie mistake. I got all excited and ran outside to tell a dream character I was lucid. That's when the adrenaline woke me up.
I still had so much to learn about the surreal lucid dreamworld.
我应该怎样开始练习做清醒梦
我在14岁时发现了清醒梦。
1996年，有一篇被称为“邂逅”的关于超自然的文章——目击大脚怪，UFO理论，千里眼以及卓帕卡布拉的传说故事。
（当然，清明梦是这些全部现象中唯一被科学证实的概念）
就像每一个有脉搏的人一样，我真的非常想去尝试清醒梦。我想在我自己的私人虚拟世界里感受到绝对的自由。
因此在接下来的几周里，我研究清醒梦，并且尽可能多的阅读。我写了一本梦境日记并且在每次我入睡时进行老练的冥想引导。
很快，我就拥有了清醒梦者该有的心态，我完全自发的得到了我的第一次清醒梦。
“我正站在一个空荡荡的白房子里，空荡荡的完全像一个新的房子，这些缺乏的细节使我怀疑......这是什么地方？我突然意识到，这是一个梦！”
这个房间突然有了焦点，我能完全意识到自己的身体和周围的事物。我开始检查现状，并且感觉到我的手指穿过了手掌。
我非常的兴奋，我跑出门找一个人来诉说，我找到一个我不认识的女人，并且在她面前大叫“我在做梦！我在做梦！”
我太激动了，以至于以外的把我自己弄醒了。
这对我来说是突破性的时刻。
突然的，我第一次在我的梦中世界“醒来”
我专注于我周围的环境，我完全真实的存在，就像你现在完全存在，坐在那里一样，它毫不模糊，这是真实的，我就在那里。
我做了一个现状检查---将我右手的两根手指穿过我的左手掌---我惊奇于这种不可能的感受，我的清醒度也更加的强烈。
然后我犯了一个菜鸟的错误。我非常的兴奋，并且跑到外面告诉一个梦中的人物我是清醒的。这是肾上腺素唤醒我的时候。
对于这个超现实的清醒梦世界，我仍有许多需要去了解的。
