I get what you're saying. The quote from the Dream Yoga book seems pretty clear, though (dream kitchen, dream milk, dream coffee). What, Sageous (or Ctharlie, or anyone), do you think the dream yogis would say in response to your warnings of false lucids from this practice, and from it being counter to the goal of achieving lucidity?

Here it is again for convenience:
Throughout the day, practice the recognition of the dream-like nature of life until the same recognition begins to manifest in your dreams. Upon waking in the morning, think to yourself "I am awake in a dream." When you enter the kitchen, recognise it as a dream kitchen. Pour dream milk into dream coffee. "It's all a dream," you think to yourself, "this is a dream." Remind yourself of this constantly throughout the day.
And let me say that I have had maybe 1 or 2 false lucids, maybe. It is not a problem I have. My problem is t hat my "powerful unconscious" is just not cooperating and is keeping me non-lucid for very long periods of time. I just need that nudge, that hint, and boom, I'm lucid. So small a thing, yet so elusive, for so long. That's why I keep my mind on dreaming all through the day.

Maybe that's why I stopped before, I just couldn't maintain the enthusiastic illusion for long. ("The hell it is!").

But yeah, I definitely needed to shake things up.

Oh and I saw a dream crab last night (well, I saw a crab in a dream and said "oh look there's a crab", I did *not* think "there's a dream crab") after seeing a giant crab shaped cloud IWL previous in the evening and thinking "dream crab!"
