Thanks for your contribution, VagalTone, they are always very meaningful.
I would like to ask something, though. I've heard "Mindfulness=Lucidity" before, but I personally do not know of anyone, specifically, who got that working. The closest thing is what OneUp does, having "Am I dreaming?" constantly in the back of his mind, but you'll agree that is not mindfulness but something different.
So how are you doing? What is your LDing rate leaving "contrived LD practices" aside and going 100% for mindfulness? Or are you saying you don't care that much about rates anymore?
