prospective memory surely increases the effectiveness of intention. That is why MILD is great with the fundamentals. As for self-awareness, I have 2 questions:
1. Does self-awareness coax in dreams by means of a habit(making it second nature). I know this is a question you just talked about, but if the memory responsible for such maintainance of a habit seems to be linked to intention. I will explain: Not all habits coax to dreams, but habits that we use intention to support seem to coax well.
2. When making self-awareness a habit and using intention to support it, does it actually coax to the dream(has there been direct studies to show that?)
