At first, you have to fake it. Since our daily lives are kinda mundane, everything looks normal, nothing is "dreamy strange".
What helped me is realizing, that not the strange thing, or the reality check will trigger lucidity. But our thoughts and beliefs.
So what you can do is this:
At any moment during your day, pause for a moment, invoke kinda startling thought or realization, that you could at that very moment be dreaming. Just like in your dreams. We believe we are awake in them, until we realize that we are dreaming. So at any time during day, no matter what you are doing, you can pause and think to yourself 'how strange". I must be dreaming. If you want to attach any actual event to that, you can, but just that thought is enough. What I mean is, if you want to say "that's strange, that car was red and not green just a second ago."
Why I like the startling pause is because we tend to go through our dreams without a pause, without noticing details. We just go with it. Same, as with our lives. Kinda like on autopilot. Zoned out. So when we make a hard stop in waking life to think we are dreaming, we will do the same in a dream.
Triggering lucidity with this "that's strange, I must be dreaming" thought is just one of the ways how to get lucid. I really like the method I described in the link from my previous post. Randomly, at any time during day, pause and believe that you could be dreaming. If you remember the excitement from realization from your previous lucid, then invoke that feeling. That incredible excitement. If not, think of something else that's exciting to you. Then do your preferred reality check. http://www.dreamviews.com/induction-...hecks-rcs.html
Just remember, that RCs are just a vehicle, something to attach our intent to become lucid. They will by themselves not get us lucid. The "wow, I could be dreaming" will.
