During the past 3 weeks I've been asking the DCs in my dreams "Why am I here?" and recently "Why do I dream?". It is amazing that on several occasions (on top of my normal LDs) I was following the dream nonlucidly and suddenly got an urge to ask these questions. So I casually turned to any DC next to me and asked "Why am I in this dream?". Bam! instant lucidity.

Although I've intended to ask these questions while already lucid it seems like I've discovered a method that takes advantage of increased awareness and "semi lucid" states...

any feedback is welcome.
