Daytime awareness increases night time lucidity which further increases daytime awareness.....in a very cool feedback loop of self improvement.

Here is some reading that has helped me to understand this aspect of lucid dreaming:

Part Three of the above has been particularly helpful to my ADA practice.

Thank you so much for the response! And for the link! I would definitely like to see a more "spiritual" take on this. I have sometimes found some buddhist books to be overly complicated and technical, but I will give it a shot. Perhaps it's different. I have ordered from Amazon and should have it next week. It seems to have good reviews. Anything that encourages more awareness sounds more like my kind of thing. For some reason, self-hypnosis and auto-suggestion was never something that resonated too much with me. Never the less, I am still trying them out to see if there's maybe something to it, especially given that I never did before, and that I heard it's best for beginners.

I was just reading about ADA last night. I want to give it a try too. I relate to the growing difficulty in asking whether or not I'm dreaming. It has happened to me a couple of times now. Sometimes maybe it is good to take a little break. With doing RCs it can be a good idea to focus on awareness during them.

Thank you for the warm welcome. It means a lot to me. This seems like a really warm community judging by you two And thanks for the encouragement!
