For DILD, I've been looking at https://www.dreamviews.com/wiki/Puffins-DILD-Guide for SAT and it's really helpful.

Reality Checks: I've decided to do all of the recommended ones I found: Asking myself if I'm dreaming and how I ended up where I am, counting my fingers, finger-through-hand, nose-plug, checking a clock, reading some text, trying a light switch and asking myself if I feel groggy at all. Then I examine the surroundings carefully, trying to notice everything I can and see what I know about it, and questioning how realistic they are. I look at how the light falls on objects and reflects off them and I look at the texture of objects and feel them with my hand. I try and remember how old something is, whose it is, where it came from and how we use it. I listen to the sounds around me and question where they might come from, trying to link what I see and hear together. Hopefully that's the right way to go about it. I just need to remember to do this even more often. Currently I'm doing it two to five times a day but that might not be enough to help me become lucid. I also want to practice this whenever something surprises me or seems unlikely or off.

Puffin's advice for awareness, and examples: Reading this part of the technique and the examples I think they are really good. I'll try and keep them all in mind.

Here are some more examples on how to become aware.
1. At completely randomized times, stop whatever you're doing and look around. Observe, does anything look distorted? Ask yourself if you're dreaming. Don't set the times that you'll be doing this up in advance, just do them when you remember. But if you have to remind yourself at the start, write a note. Be sure to stop using the reminder after a while, though!

2. Each time you look at a digital clock to check the time, perform the digital clock reality check (look away and look back again to see if it's changed) and couple it with another one. Many people have access to a bedside alarm clock and computer.

3. When reading a book, stop at random times and pick a line of text. Analyze and explain to yourself what the passage is telling the reader.

4. When in on a conversation, listen to what the conversation is about and internally think about whether it's a realistic topic for the people speaking.

5. Perform the nose-plug reality check every time you get into bed, and get up in the morning. This check works even if the lights are out, and can help catch a false awakening (FA).

6. If you're sitting on a chair, get up slightly and allow yourself to fall back into position. Is gravity working the way it should? You can also jump into the air and see how quickly you fall down.

7. Another great way to test for reality is to expect something to happen, using standard dream control techniques - imagine your relative will come through the door at a given moment, for instance, and believe this 100%. Visualize them as they'd appear when walking through the door; know which way they'll be facing and how they'll act. If they do, you might be dreaming, especially if they shouldn't be in that location at present.

8. Can you feel your heartbeat in your chest? Are you breathing? If so, is your breath warm or cold? Can you shift the focus of your eyes in order to look at something farther away?
Number 4 was one I'd never thought of before, but it makes me think of my first dream journal.

Swimming teacher (IRL) tells us her belly is fake (attached by some permanent procedure, who knows why) and that's why she's fat.
The teacher actually told us that her belly was attached by liposuction. I didn't include that in the journal, but now I think on it again. This was a lecture at school. Who'd lecture about that? It wasn't a realistic topic for the situation. And liposuction? That's a procedure for removing fat, not adding it. I don't think it's even possible to have fat added to your body or a belly 'attached'. These are all things I know, but I wasn't aware enough to remember them during that dream. Questioning things like that in a dream could help me to become lucid.
