I find that I become less conscious of dreaming when I stop daydreaming or using my imagination while waking. When I force myself to imagine things or scenarios to a certain length my conscious of dreaming seems to get better at night.

I don't keep numbers of the times going lucid but it's at least every two weeks or so. And I live a modest life lucid; I am mostly interested in the content of the lucidity than the special powers. I used to be really trying to bend rules and create my own reality, yet it lost its charm when I realized the meaningless of it all. Freedom is not so fun once you'd had it all. Now I suppose I am merely searching for some glimmer of truth over there.
