so you don ' t share my concern then ? <| sep |> All 3 have gotten much better in the new season . It ' s worth catching up if you have the time . <| sep |> I enjoy hanging out with my friends . <| sep |> when i was a kid a doller was worth ten dollers now a doller couldnt even buy you fifty cents <| sep |> Damn haha . No I ' d probably ask for 16 crates . But I ' d negotiate depending on what kind of crates you ' re offering <| sep |> Lucidity is synonymous with your cognitive functioning , aka your rational intellect . Lucidity comes on a spectrum from basically zero complete dream state to what you currently view as 100 % normal waking life . Towards the zero end you are just reacting based on your core being and automatic reactions , whereas on the other side of the scale you have control of your cognitive , rational mind . Generally , people feel like they are not themselves when they are aware at the lower end of the lucidity scale . Often people feel this way because they don ' t feel as in control and do things they wouldn ' t normally do . However , in a very real sense , the way you act and decisions you make in a lower lucid state is much more revealing of your true self than the way you act in waking life . This is because you don ' t have the cognitive , rational thinking to override how you are at a core level . People often notice when they make a direct willful transition into a lucid dream state they will have a higher degree of lucidity than when they randomly become aware they are within a dream while dreaming . This makes sense because you are coming into the lucid dream state at opposite ends of the spectrum . For Increasing lucidity aka aware , cognitive , rational capabilities all you have to do is hold that intent clearly in your mind i would like to increase my current lucidity to maximum And hold it long enough to have the desired effect . When you have enough practice you can do it in just a few moments . The problem is remembering to do it when you enter at a low lucidity state , which is difficult with your rational cognition offline . This is why you have to make this part of the automatic routine . You just have to reinforce it into a reflex by reminding yourself to do it over and over again until the thought to do it becomes automatic .
