Thread: Can't manage to be aware...

ADA does not require you to be aware 24/7 - the point of it is so you'll stop and observe while dreaming, or to help you notice something out of place during the dream.

Really, it isn't anything to worry about - just keep it up, and you'll get to your lucids soon.

I'm having the exact same problem, it can get extremely frustrating. I thought of asking for help but didn't because, really, only you are capable of succeeding. If you add any tricks, like for example a reminder on your phone, you will probably get lazy/forgetful because you start relying on it, and there won't be any reminder in your dreams.

Being off of auto-pilot while doing nothing/being alone is good but not nearly enough. It's most important to maintain self-awareness while engaged in something like a conversation or doing any sort of task that requires some mental effort, because you'll almost never find yourself in a dream with nothing to do, if you know what I mean.
So I'm not really sure what we're supposed to do.. Maybe get busy on purpose with the intention of maintaining self-awareness? Like short session of an activity that requires your attention, try to do them without switching to auto-pilot.
Sorry I can't be more useful, I've been struggling with the same problem for weeks.

That's exactly what i think too, but i guess it can't be helped.
We must try and try to reach that level.
Although i'm entering in panic, i will try harder.
