Get in the habit of checking if you are dreaming. Try doing something that you know can't happen but imagine it will work while trying it. e.g. Jump while imagining that you will start floating instead of landing back on the ground. Hold your hand up and imagine your coffee mug will jump into it. If you do stuff like that regularly -- every day -- then eventually you will do one of the tests in a dream too but instead of failing like it would in waking life, it will play out how you imagined it. Just don't get in the habit of immediately dismissing the idea that you are in a dream. I did that once -- asked myself if I was in a dream and thought "of course not!" because I'd gotten in the habit of dismissing the tests -- and was very annoyed when I woke up... Test the idea seriously every time it occurs to you. I found it kind of a tedious thing to do and eventually fell out of the habit, but it worked well enough for me that I was able to have a few lucid dreams.
