I'm thinking that this type of awareness may be the key to incorporating lucidity into everyday life....establishing a routine that can fit into any lifestyle. It is beginning to feel self-sustaining as the more present and aware I feel in my dreams, the clearer and more alive I feel during the day....which then leads to even stronger presence and lucidity in my dreams.

On a side note, I have found that every time I make a meaningful post here at Dream Views it is like a shot of adrenaline to my dreams that night. I posted just before bed that night and my dreams were incredibly strong and clear....I made notes on five dreams and I know I missed at least one during my first sleep cycle. It's as if posting here is a condensed and distilled form of dream journaling.

Good point about posting things about dreams. Definitely helpful.
