My dreams have been a bit more vivid and there has been an undercurrent lately of consciousness during the dreams, just not full blown wakefulness/lucidity. I will keep trying with this as I fall asleep and see where it takes me.

Yea its like tuning a radio. You can access and hear some of the music( vivid dreams, dream recall) but when you finally get to that station, you hear the full content of it clearly(lucidity). As you tune, it gradually gets easier. You might get the station right on the spot, or it might take a couple more seconds.

It can be a little tricky but try different ways to put these thoughts into motion. What we're dealing with is something that is individually different for each mind. Try forcing you're influences or just allow them to gently push. For me, as I am only me, know what way works for me, and that is to concentually without words but a phrase or two, allow them to influence my inner dialogue. Make sure that your inner dialogue is automatically without ANY effort on your part, to speak of lucidity. Your part is to merely poke a small hole in the water balloon so it'll spur out and take its course.

This metaphor may or may not sound complicated as a means of more to think about but really, the method is really simple takes only about 10-20 seconds of your time.
