Through the discussions I have had with Wee Yak, Something striking came to mind.

I have been reading many books on awareness. Not just awareness of your surroundings but all facets of awareness, human nature, thought and emotions and the relative nature of how things work.
Most all of my lucid dreams are now facilitated through awareness of my dream scene. Which I believe to be a result of my new outlook of awareness outside the dream scene
Almost a constant reality check. However my dreams have become ever so real.

Any have any comments or a similar situation I would love to hear about it!
