All great stuff in that post, LukeSid. Two months ago most of what you said would have been of just passing interest to me but now that I am firmly planted on the LD/Dream Yoga path, all of your above comments really resonate.

Regarding awareness......this is where my life seems to be changing the most, even at this somewhat advanced age. I always considered myself to be more aware of the world around me than most, due to a few various disciplines in my life, but now that I am basically dismantling my perceived realities on a daily basis I am more aware of detail than ever both awake and a'dream. I find myself becoming the lucid observer almost every night now.....fully aware of the dream state and yet just letting it flow around me as I reach out and grab little pieces of it to take back with me across the threshold.

I like that a lot. I'm going to put it into my mantra tonight.
