Don't like to tut my own horn, but, I consider myself a bit experienced.

I can say, even now at an LD count of close to 600, mantras can help with this. I was like you when I started out, and my LDs weren't very clear and I wasn't as conscious as I could be.

Increasing your awareness even FURTHER can help with this.

Try touching walls while stabilizing, and pay attention to the detail, really believe that this is a dream. I have success with this technique quite a bit.

Hope I managed to help in some way or another.
