So, I have this theory. You can practice paying more attention to your surroundings in order to get more general awareness to identify the differences between the waking life and dreams, which is one of the biggest steps to becoming lucid more frequently. So what if you (this may seem boring) used your lucid dreaming, to note and practice telling yourself your dreaming. For instance, if you do reality checks while you know your dreaming, pay close attention and practice in a dream, in theory you would be even better at identifying dreams and becoming lucid more frequently.

I haven't had a lucid dream to attempt this theory on, but you can increase awareness in a dream, couldn't you do this? What do you think?

If this doesn't make sense, I just got off of work and I'm tired so I apologize.
