Let me rephrase that...

I'm not stopping the self questioning I do during the day, nor am I giving up on the skills that I've learned till now. What I'm talking about is more confidence based. It feels like I get mixed up now when I try to include parts of the day that reflect a self intention to lucid dream. I'm trying to split my day into two distinct areas. One in which I question my reality and one in which I state more of a desire.

The problem I've run into is that since I've started this, I've broken the monotony of simple hourly awareness checks, but I've struggled to get into a a nice routine that could translate into dream awareness.

I feel like this is a good personal direction because I've seen an increase in dream vividness and recall that had been on a slight decline. But I feel as though it could be much better.

Maybe I'm on the wrong track? It just feels as though I'm on the edge of really breaking through the "beginner's wall" but I'm having trouble nailing it down.
