You can learn to truly enjoy awareness expansion and various meditations. Keep a good attitude about wanting to learn those things for the value they have alone, not just as tools for lucid dreaming. |

I'm in my room playing a video game with a long-since broken friendship. My best friend. My quasi-elder-brother. I walk to the door, and something hits me. I turn to my friend and say--not inquire, but say--"this is a dream, isn't it? |

^^ Some might say that lucid dreaming itself is a practice for developing awareness. |

Ho-hoo. Trippy, Sageous. |

Something that might help motivate you is to see it not as being forced to do all the work of paying attention, but perceiving the world in the kind of detail you used to as a child. Usually that helps me out. I've noticed my awareness and the type of details I pay attention to normally slowly grow less and less over the years, and even just remembering what perceiving the world was like a few years ago is enough to get me to want to pay attention more, or at least be aware in a different way than I usually am. I'm more bothered lately by how much of my daily life becomes a subroutine I act out autonomously (even paying more attention to things can be done automatically that way sometimes!) than by the effort it takes to stay aware really. |
