Though this is a fine exercise, I'm not sure I can agree with the premise. In my experience, and in my general understanding of lucidity, lucidity does not equal vividness. You can be extremely lucid in a dream without a hint of vividness, just as you can have an incredibly vivid dream without hint of lucidity. Indeed, spending your time admiring the awesome reality of your dream opens up the risk of lending too much "reality" to the dream, and thus a loss of lucidity.
Oh, I just realized something: Perhaps, as one of those outliers who has seen the proven effectiveness of practicing the fundamentals to enjoy frequent WILD's and DILD's (which are not techniques, BTW, but descriptions of transitions to lucidity), I should not be posting on these threads? Please let me know Cydmehden; I will be happy to just lurk with interest!
