the same way you would in normal waking life.

don't overcomplicate things. do reality checks during the day, keep a dream journal (and write down every dream after it happens), and before you go to bed repeat something like "i will remember to real-ize i am dreaming...", or if you can, try to visualize yourself in a location you like, say, the beach (from a third person, or 'movie angle") realizing that you are dreaming.

when you realize that you dreaming in a dream, don't get all excited or nervous or anything. just simply say 'i am dreaming...increase lucidity", and look at your hands until they have the same amount of detail as waking life.
