Just browsing the forums and had my curiosity peaked. I guess you could say I became more aware Often we LDers suggest to those learning to LD that they need to become more "aware" during waking life to help attain lucidity. During a reality check, it is recommended that one become more "aware" in order to duplicate that awareness while in the dreamworld. I have noticed that many of us, as oneironauts, criticize others for seemingly acting their lives out as zombies or automatons, beings who are not aware and who seem to live their real lives they way we all do in our non-lucids.

So I am curious, when you think of "becoming more aware" of waking life, what do you mean? Please share, because surely some of you think there is more to being 'aware' than simply second-guessing your actions and interpreting why you feel certain emotions.
