Increase Awareness

[superchaz]

How do I increase my awareness in a dream? Because I can't gain lucidity even if the dream makes no sense I still go through it like a zombie. I know about reality checks but I still don't do them in a dream becuase I'm always doing something in a dream (i.e boxing,fighting)

If DILD's arent working maybe you should try another method. Try a WILD instead so you transition straight into lucidity.

Moved to Attaining Lucidity. Once you become aware in a dream, usually you won't be able to become that much more aware unless you do a large amount of stabilization, and say to yourself that you're dreaming. Even then, nothing is guaranteed. It's better to practice awareness more thoroughly in real life, which will then carry over into your dreams. It's hard to do it the other way around, as in trying to raise your consciousness in the dream itself, at least from my own experiences.
