Not only does it make sense, that's been my primary life goal since having become deeply interested in meditation 7 years ago. (Or at least, was, until I found a slightly different goal related to awareness more recently). Once, I took three months to live in a monastery and practice awareness meditation all day long. Somehow, I had fewer lucids than normal! It's like my brain ran out of "awareness juice" during the day

paigeyemps: Yup, I agree. These ones are not lucid. I call them "pseudo-lucid."
