I've been diligently working on this for a little over two months now since getting back into LDing with a couple close calls but no huge success. After reading through some stuff I'm realizing I may have been going about doing ADA the wrong way by not including enough self-awareness in the practice and just sticking to outer awareness. Don't get me wrong, the practice has been great on my recall and last night I think I had the first dream where I remembered nearly every single event in it which is great, but I'm not feeling any closer to lucidity. So now I'm going to start working on trying to stay mindful and in the present moment as much as possible throughout the day and keep track of what's going on in my mind and body as well as being critical of what is going on around me at all times. I'll also be doing at certain moments throughout the day some inner reality checks by thinking of where I am, what I'm doing, and reviewing what I've done for the past few minutes, and maybe also a physical reality check if possible.

I also found a technique called Lucid Day Dreaming which seems promising so I'm going to try a version of that out as well. What I plan to do is review my journal often, especially before bed, and visualize my most recent, memorable dreams, and instead of playing it out how it happened I want to try changing the memory so that I actually became lucid in the dream and proceed with the dream as if that had happened, so I will kind of be practicing becoming lucid by visualizing that it happened. I figure since dreams are just very vivid visualization, that I'll actually be sort of rewiring my brain to be lucid more often by visualizing my dreams as being lucid. I'll also be doing this whenever I catch myself in a daydream or if I'm otherwise not focused on being in the present.

If anyone reads this and has a thought about it, does this seem logical or will I be wasting my time with it?
