Sounds good, Sageous. FryingMan is doing the same sorts of things I intend to work with. Hopefully with this combined with the self-awareness exercises, RCs, and practice learning how to get the conscious parts of my brain to speak the right language to the dreaming aspects of it, it'll simply be a matter of time.

I'm thinking about trying to make the sleeping body/current state reminder be kind of a meditation exercise during an LD, and just try to stay focused on it throughout the dream. That way if I find my thoughts thinking of the dream ending or straying somewhere else, I could just shift my focus back to this as I continue what I was doing.
