Now I didn't even think to tell myself "Hello! Your dreaming!" I just go along with it.

Is there anyway to heighten my awareness whilst dreaming so that I can attain lucidity?
I could use all the advice I could get!

well everytime something odd or strange happens in life/dream do a reality check. it also to ask yourself, "if i was dreaming, what would be different?". try the techniques over. good luck.
