"Dimmable" LED bulbs are able to be dimmed with an external dimmer. This will work in any dedicated lamp but you wouldn't want to hook a dimmer to a lamp that also combined some other function as the other function might not respond well to the power being reduced.
The next step would be to buy a dimmer. The safest way to get started would be with a cord dimmer like this or this. Just make sure it explicitly says it works with LED bulbs - an "incandescent/halogen only" dimmer isn't what you want.
That's all you need assuming you aren't interested in a "smart" dimmer (controlled by a device). If that is what you are looking for you should head to /r/homeautomation.
Mine came with a dimmer switch.
Any dimmer rated for CFL/LED lighting should be fine.

I thought that getting a dimmer would require a more complicated installation, wall installation, or a special lamp, but someone at Home Depot recommended an in-line dimmer.
I got something like this:
> Lutron TTCL-100H-WH Credenza Dimmable CFL/LED Dimmer, White
amazon/Lutron-TTCL-100H-WH-Credenza-Dimmable-Dimmer/dp/B004DE5ONC/
> No wiring required, just plug in to any lamp
and I got an adjustable LED bulb.
The downside to some is that the dimmer is out (not neatly configured to wall), and might be lying around on the floor.
I don't mind at all.
Thanks a lot for the reply! Someone also noted over in /r/HomeImprovement that a regular dimmer might not work on LEDS. I found this dimmer over at Amazon and think I'll buy it to give it a shot, especially since it says it's made to work with dimmable LED lights. Thanks for the link you posted too, I didn't even think about the fact that LEDs would be different from regular incandescent bulbs.
