i don’t know if it’s a certain meditation, but yes.
Coming from someone who just woke up from an exploratory/karmic/spiritually oriented dream session (and then brief lucid deep sleep) Maybe I can give some perspective.
First of all, when you’re looking to do something as disicplined as this, you have in my mind two real options. The first and foremost is to stop asking people how to do it, and just experiment on your own without any help whatsoever.
The other is to look to a specific culture of people that has great reputation for meditational skill, I’ll illustrate upon Buddhism.
Now… this is MY research, and I think you should do your own research. But first of all this is probably the best general resource out there: swamij.com/yoga-nidra.htm and the method can be practiced whenever. It’s a gradual progression, once you wake up, even if you didn’t succeede, you’re done for the day. I don’t really use this method, but it has some pertinent knowledge.
Over some time of collecting information I myself have come to the conclusion that the third eye, throat, and heart chakras are responsible for various otherworldly sleep phenomena… and if you don’t know what chakras are, there’s more research for you to do 
The brow induces the borderline hypnagogic state through which you can enter dreams. The throat induces dreams themselves, and the heart necessitates deep sleep.
So, knowing this, if you believe it, and if you have some understanding of energy/chi work [again you’ll have to do a lot of resarch on this] all you have to do is learn how to fall asleep.
You can do this in one day. Make sure you aren’t hyper, make sure your brain is somewhat subdued, make sure you’ve been up for at least 5 hours or so… and just go take a nap and get familiar with the “I’m about to fall asleep sensation.”
So basically, you start the sleep process and wait for it to overpower you. Then… you just have to find a way to break through. Now my problem is when I’m in this state I’m so sleepy that I can’t retain focus… so what I did was after a while of going in and out of it, I just got up to go to the bathroom then lied back down.
And then I used the mantra “aum” (i’m not sure how to pronounce it, but i pronounce it ahhhhhhhhhmmmmmm)
And here is yet more in line with the Buddhist/Hindu perspectives of sleep… the sharp Ah sound corresponds to waking, to third eye consciousness… the uh in between ah and mmmmmm corresponds to dreaming. and the mmmmm corresponds to deep sleep.
I find that using this mantra even 4-5 times (out loud, humming it while focusing on its resonance) really helps tune the brain… and when I did this I could “read” what level my brain was currently on… I got stuck in the “uh” portion as feelings of sleepiness came back, but by persisting in the whole mantra a few times… I managed to more efficiently balance myself on the near sleep state, this time not being particularly too overwhelmingly tired.
From here… I just held on to the feeling that I was drifting out of consciousnes… then I don’t remember what happened… and then I was in a trance sufficient to use hypnagogic imagery and go into sleep paralysis.
This sounds complicated, and it likely won’t make sense to you, but the message that you should take away is that there are detailed systems that you can use to induce lucid dreaming. It’s not terribly hard but it may take you upwards of a year…
Research. If nothing I said was odd to you, then adopt the Buddhist style of meditation and RESEARCH what I talked about in this thread. If it doesn’t sound up your alley then go look at other forms of meditation and pick your own.
Whatever you do, at first you’ll just be grasping at straws with blind faith, but keep in mind that Buddhists and Hindus especially have had a long long time to understand how to manipulate the mind… if it works for them it will eventually work for you. The same holds true for other cultures.
But all in all, it all boils down to one thing:
retaining focus while you are drifting off to sleep
