There is a direct correlation between mindfulness and lucid dreaming.

The more you practice meditation, the higher your chances of becoming lucid.

Try this: hold your hands out in front of you, take a mindful breath and say the following, 'Tonight when I am dreaming, I will notice my hands and realise I am dreaming'.

This is a simple reality check that can be used both as a mindfulness aid, as well as to improve your chances of lucid dreaming.
