Thread: Who or what should we blame for the lack of lucidity ?

I believe that the fact that children are more curious of their environment could very likely stimulate lucid dreaming.
You have probably experienced the same kind of excitement during vacations, when you visit a completely different culture and suddenly feel that everything is interesting, and pay attention to everything.
That's what small children feel like a lot of the time, and this is probably also why they laugh and seem so jolly over everything.

Well yeah, kind of like that.
The less familiar you are with your environments the more interesting (or threatening) you will find them, which makes you more aware.
So one good way to prompt lucidity could be to try having a sense of awareness of everything you experience in waking life.
One way to trigger that specific excitement is to pretend that waking life is a dream, just for fun.
This makes you feel "closer" to the dreamworld because you kind of get a foretaste of what it would be like to actually be in a real lucid dream, like "oh man, a lucid dream would actually be this vivid, and it would be so awesome if I was dreaming right now and could rush off and do whatever I wanted!".

Of course, this "dream feeling" would be extra powerful if you practice it during dreamlike situations, for example if you take a walk very early during a quiet, misty morning in a beautiful place.
