I guess, like all things, it can be different for different people.
And that indeed is the majority opinion here. In truth, I cannot argue with it; only honor it while continuing to voice my own lonely opinion -- and support, as here, someone who may share it. I think the remembering bit is one of the most important and as yet barely explored aspects of dreaming and LD'ing, and it should be taken seriously, with all ideas -- even the unpopular ones -- considered for at least a moment.
I have a remarkably good waking memory, so maybe that has something to do with it. Maybe it makes it easier for me to notice the difference?
Now there is an interesting thing. My waking-life memory is pathetic. Perhaps that's where this "definition" of mine came from. So in that case, only those with crappy memories need pay attention to me!
