How to Attain Waking Life Consciousness in a Lucid Dream?

[neowisdom]

With practice, I have managed to get a few lucid dreams. The problem is that my lucid dreams never feel real. I am never 100% conscious and in full control of my thoughts. For example, in my lucid dreams sometimes I forget certain things (like stabilization techniques) that I would not forget if I was awake. I can never think clearly in my lucid dreams. After doing some looking around, I have found that some people are able to have waking life consciousness while in their lucid dreams. That means that for those people, their lucid dreams are as real as when they are awake. So far, I have been doing reality checks while awake and stabilization techniques in my lucid dreams but I have never once had that waking life consciousness in my lucid dreams. If I continue doing these reality checks and stabilization techniques, will I eventually attain that waking life consciousness in my lucid dreams? Or are there other techniques that I'm supposed to do in order to attain that waking life consciousness when lucid?
