I see lucid dreaming as having an almost super-consciousness. There is just so much one can do in their dreams. I spend a lot of time flying in mine. I even have had entire lives I live only in dreaming.

The more attention you give your dreaming the more it becomes. Before I started getting lucid I practiced simply remembering them. Every morning I would record them and remember the details of them. This built a dreaming awareness and memory, and brought on the awareness that i was dreaming.

A good preactice is simply to set your alarm and a pad of paper beside it. Record them before you forget them.
