      Awareness technique

      I've read that awareness plays a VERY important factor in lucid dreaming.
      But it's easy to say "become more aware" for the people who are saying it, yet how do you actually become more aware?

      There's a cool technique for visual awareness, which I read in a section about studying paintings in a book.

      Basically, pick a random colour, and try and see as many objects of that colour as you can, in your current room. Then pick a different colour, etc.
      You'll be surprised at how many different things you can see.
      Your eyes tend to sweep over an area without noticing much. With this method, your eyes are drawn to particular objects based on their colour.

      It's an easy way to notice more about a place.
      Try it!
      Bonus: do it in a dream and tell me if your stability improves.
      By logic, it should!
      Goals:
      Fly in a lucid dream [X]
      Go to my own world in a lucid dream [ ]

      I've really been neglecting my reality checks and general awareness, but that colour method is actually real cool. Gave it a shot after I read your post and did see quite a lot of general overlooked things. Cheers.

      I found it easier to be aware in the moment by making my self-talk "commentate" on my awareness. Basically this means I say something like:

      Now I see x
      Now I hear x

      etc while I'm walking around. For some reason adding that little bit of self talk made me more aware and reminded me to be more aware more often.
      My LDing record, if you want to hear about it, is about 4 WILDs, 1 DEILD, and the rest DILDs.
