I think the grading system is a really cool idea to help with consistency. If you want, you can add points for finding weird items/DS during the day.

Your avatar reminded me I was dreaming of petting a huge flying turtle and wondering about it. We need to be more alert from now on!
That's a cool idea! It could definitely keep me more aware throughout the day, so I think I'll give it a shot.

One thing I don't think I mentioned, maybe I mentioned it before, is that I never get very good sleep. Last night was especially bad, I'm not exactly sure whether I actually fell asleep before my WBTB alarm went off. Nevertheless, I completed all the tasks that I wanted to and almost got lucid at one point from a FA.

In my dream I woke up in my bed from a nightmare. I noticed that I was extremely hot and wanted to turn on the light and get up for a bit. When I tried to turn on the light, it didn't work at all. This caused me to believe I must be in a nightmare and I turned on my phone flashlight to check my surroundings. I don't know whether I decided it might not be a dream when I didn't see anything out of the ordinary or if I just lost awareness, but I didn't remember anything after that and woke up.

This is actually very similar to how I got interested in lucid dreaming. I had my first lucid dream as a result of the way that light switches trigger nightmares within my dreams. As a kid, I would always have the same recurring dreams that would start with me not being able to turn on a light. Eventually, I became habitually used to associating lights not working with having a nightmare. Power outages can be kinda scary lol.

I need to make sure that every time I wake up I do a thoughtful reality check to prevent these stupid false awakenings.
