How can we enhance lucidity during a lucid dream?

[Midwinter Mist]

As much as lucid dreaming is fantastic, I've often slacked off from the necessary efforts to help me advance. It's not that I don't want to improve, but it gets boring having to spend your life performing reality checks and the like. Nonetheless, I recently decided I wanted to try again, so I got back into the process and, no surprise, along came another lucid dream.

But this lucid dream, like others I've had over the years, lacked a good level of awareness. It's one of those where you partially realise your dreaming, yet still shrug off a few things as reality as though you're half-lucid and half caught in a standard dream.

Efforts aside that we can make in our waking lives, is there a way to enhance our awareness during the lucid dream?

A friend once told me that she'd say things like 'lucidity enhance' and it would help her. I remember trying that a few times and it did help my focus improve. But this morning, for instance, I knew it was a dream but I couldn't quite get a grasp on it. I tried to summon and manifest different things and it wouldn't work. I remember looking in the mirror, preparing to change my outfit by thought, but that also wouldn't work. I realised that there was a lack of 'belief', knowing I've done these things in the past, that I was having a hard time breaking into the lucid dream. I couldn't even remember my lucid dream priorities and so went with the flow, all the while realising I needed to enhance my awareness. I continued to perform the reality checks, and there was even a point when I was on a roof, shouting 'I AM DREAMING', each time getting louder, though it was difficult to do.

I was slipping in and out of my awareness. I looked down from a roof and considered jumping, but then not only did I fear the pain, I then considered that it could actually be real and therefore I'd kill myself by accident. As you can see, I wasn't perfectly clear of the reality, but in those moments that I confirmed to myself that it was a dream, I wondered how exactly I could enhance it. How, in that moment inside of the dream, could I increase my awareness...

My first thought would be to ask the angels of lucid dreams to help you out just before you lie down to make an attempt. Also, you could write out 15 times a day in a notebook something like "I am now a lucid dream expert and can easily have a lucid dream any time I wish". Come up with some type of short positive affirmation like that, and choose the words so you feel super good when you write it down.

Keep writing this everyday, 15 times a day, with no days off and you should see results. Witht the angels help and the affirmations you should see a big jump in your lucid dreams.
