One good way I found that worked for me and my friend was to get into a routine of asking yourself "am i awake" about every half hour.then when you are dreaming you should ask yourself this question to wich you will answer no, that's when you know you are dreaming and can take control.

If that wont work then try writing something on you hand and again get into the routine of of looking at it.if you do this in your dream when you look at the writing I wont make any sense and that's when you will realise you are dreaming.

Another thing I find when I'm dreaming is if I try to switch a light switch on nothing happens and I realise I'm dreaming, same with digital watches they make no sense.

Note: this might not work for you its just how I do it.
