Like SLY says, it all depends on the note you emphasize in your solo. If you wanted to play in G dorian you would start all your playing on the G note in the F major scale and resolve back to G. Your chord progression would probably do the same.

Try improving over Gm7, C7, Dm7. Play in F major, and start and end all your solos on G. Wala! . . . you'll be playing dorian.
