As to questions I have:
How can I maintain a total awareness for a long(ish) period of time? It's not that it's too stressful, but I just forget to pay attention to being aware when I occupy myself with other things. It's likely just a matter of practice, but if there are any techs to facilitate this, I'd love to know.
I really like Lidybug's thread:

If you could put a number on the importance of awareness in waking like (say... 1-10), what would you rank it at? I only ask this because it seems to be my greatest obstacle so far. However, before this, I never paid attention to awareness, and still could lucid dream so it makes me wonder.
My take is that in the shorter term you can become lucid without a lot of awareness but awareness work can improve the quality of your lucid dreams and your memory of your goals for your lucid dreams. In the intermediate to longer term it helps with the above but also should increase the frequency of lucid dreams.
