I completely agree, and it's exactly what I've been saying for a long time.

I wouldn't say 'attention' though, it's just another layer of thinking required.
'Lucidity' literally means 'awareness'. Attention is synonymous.

I haven't read a single tutorial on this website (aside from a link to an OBE tutorial once upon a time). Why I am lucid, is because I am aware.
Aware with much less division than most people are, and yet I am labelled a 'natural'.

I think that my perspective of waking life contributes to this automatic awareness directly, yes; though 'natural' is a word that seems to encourage lucidity as going against a person's 'nature' if they don't become lucid without effort.

I think lucidity has nothing directly to do with effort. There must be a little effort to break the habit of non-lucidity/unawareness at first, but then it becomes sublime.
Too much focus goes into the techniques and avenues to increase awareness, when awareness is simply undivided attentiveness.
