If your dreamsigns occur in waking life as well as in your dreams (relatively often) you can start doing reality checks every time you encounter such a situation. If this is not the case, it is a little harder. One way is to rely on your prospective memory: tell yourself you will do a reality check when you encounter a dreamsign. For example, if you see your mother in every dream, you'd tell yourself something along these lines: I do a reality check as soon as/everytime I see my mother.
If this has no result at all, you are either very unaware in your dreams or your prospective memory is not good enough. Training either of those will definitely help you get lucid from dreamsigns.
If some of your dreamsigns are less specific (for example, you encounter strange social situations all the time in your dreams) you can start doing reality checks every time you get a similar feeling.
Aside from all this, I believe that if you continue your journey as actively as you do now, you'll start getting lucid sooner or later. You're not doing anything wrong and a week is not extremely long (I've been trying for 3 months now and only got lucid twice in this period) so don't get frustrated, you'll get there!
