This isn't a good thing for me to say, especially for someone who hasn't had a lucid dream yet, but I keep forgetting to do reality checks. What's a good way to remember to do them? I know what my dreamsign is, but can't exactly apply a reality check when I encounter it, as the sign is famous women. Would watching tv suffice when someone comes on? Do reality checks have to be done even if nothing bizarre or remotely dreamlike occurs?

Now let's say you are some enigmatic entity that can travel between and become a conscious part of people's dreams when we're sleeping. What advice would YOU say to someone who has just become lucid for the very first time so they don't wake themselves up? And what would you suggest they attempt in their first lucid experience, as well as other lucids they may have next?
