Remember, though, that awareness and critical thinking are two different things.
In order to become lucid you need to develop a questioning attitude, and suspect that you might be dreaming whenever something even remotely bizarre happens in waking life.
I actually had a dream last night that was so realistic that I failed several reality checks and eventually gave up and said "okay, I must be awake then", and I probably gave up too soon - so don't feel certain that you are awake until you have done many reality checks thoroughly.

I know that
that's why my style involves ADA + reality checking

while "ADA'ing" i try to be aware as possible (although its still very little time lol)
and through the day i also do reality checks + ADA
i stop to see if there is something out of normal and ask this questions:

- What if this is a lucid dream now?
- Where am I?
- What am i doing here?
- What was i doing in last 15 minutes?
- Why am i here?
- How did i get here?
- Are things around me normal?

Then i start to look around and see if something is uncommon or out of normal.

i think i know why i don't get lucid much, because my concentration level
to try get as aware as possible is very little, i only can get aware 1 minute maximum
then i forget the awareness.
