I also want to incorporate lucids into my everyday thoughts more. "OH! The sun reflecting off that puddle is beautiful, I want to experience this in a lucid!", etc.
That is a great idea! You can also use them as dream content, and not necessarily dream goal. What I mean is like, if you like a certain color or object or sight, tell yourself you'll use that as your dream environment—you'll have a house with THAT color and the trees will look like THAT. This way, you also get to decide and somehow influence the dream foundations
