As far as remembering tips for LDs when your actually in the LD, for me, just spending a lot of time reading about dream control and thinking about it while awake helps. My 1st LD w/ control I actually visualized something I had read on DV that had told me to stay calm. It also seems like when I acknowledge that there is a real world seperate from where I am in my LD and that my physical body is asleep in that place, that I can remember things from waking life easier.
