During the day, look consciously at your hands and ask yourself:"
Am I dreaming?".
Before going to sleep remind yourself that you will look at your hands in your dream.
When you do this often enough you will eventually look at your
hands in your dream too. You will then either immediately realize you are dreaming - or ask yourself the question "Am I dreaming?" Then do a Reality Check to be sure.

During the day ask yourself:
"How did I get here?". Then retrace your steps in your thoughts.
If you do this often enough, you will eventually ask yourself this in a dream. And then you really don't know how you got there. Now you know you are dreaming.
Before going to bed, drink some glasses of water.
Now you will have to go to the bathroom somewhere in the middle of the night..
Lie down, close your eyes and concentrate. Tell yourself that whenever you are in a bathroom or looking for one you are dreaming.
Almost definately you will have a dream in which you want to go to the bathroom or are in one. Now you can become lucid!
Unfortunately, nature keeps calling, and eventually you'll wake up. But at least you where lucid...
It can appear so real that you may wet your bed...
Watch a movie before going to sleep. Choose one that is inspiring to you.
When you are going to sleep, let the movie play back in your mind, while you are telling yourself you are dreaming.
You will hopefully dream about the movie, that you are playing in it or something similar. Now you can realise you are dreaming.

Research has proven that you digest the things you have learned during the day in your dreams. Hence this tip.
Emerge yourself completely in lucid dreams. Read books, write stories, surf websites. Learn techniques by heart.
While sleeping, all this information will sink in and most likely something of it will appear in your dreams.
For that matter, it is generally a good idea to have your mind on dreams or lucid dreams. In one way or another it triggers your subconscious to be alert for dreams.
The proof: whenever I've worked a lot on this site, my lucid dreams increase.
