Anything in a dream that conflicts with reality/physics will be ignored by your brain. The "trick" is coming up with a habit/sign that you use to periodically test reality. Dreaming mind is very bad at numbers, and you have no sense of kinesthesia (muscle/nerve feedback) while asleep, so your reality check should involve these. My personal favorite is holding your nose closed and attempting to breath through it - you know you're dreaming if you can take a normal breath despite the obstruction.

In order to remember your reality check in a dream, it must become an ingrained habit, something that even your hazy subconscious thinks to do. Do your reality check multiple times a day, particularly when seeing or hearing something "weird". After a few days, you will think to do it during a dream. When it fails, this kicks your conscious mind into gear and gives you some lucid control. Hardest part is remaining asleep; I've literally woken myself up from the sheer excitement of realizing I was dreaming.

Good luck!
