Haha that's where I used to write "lucid", and honestly, I rarely saw it, but someone would ALWAYS point it out to me. For me though, when I do my daily awareness is when I look at the clock. I'm a big time looker-at-the-clocks because I have 10-15-hour shifts at work, and I'm always looking for it to be time to go home. And when I'm off, I'm always looking at the time for #DVA classes, and when to make the kids meals etc. I'm a true slave to the clock, so that's why it works well for me.

I really like your bird chirping awareness technique. I know I filter out sounds alot too, but I think that's really good that you hear them and pay attention. Do you live in the country, or work outside or something to be able to hear them often? I work in the city so I only hear them in the early hours at home, if the fan doesn't drown them out.

I'm on the edge of a mid-size city and a very small town. But there's a lake nearby with a bird sanctuary, so there are enough chirping birds, especially when I go out in the morning to go bicycling -- the mockingbirds are very protective of their territories. A mockingbird will inevitably sing its little heart out while I'm swimming or waiting at the bus stop or bicycling. Eventually I'm going to inadvertently stumble across something which occurs in my dreams a lot, if I am just more and more self-aware.
