Hey dude, thanks for this post, it's made it into my "notable DV post" list and I'm 95% sure I'll save it as a bookmark, along with the links you've added, if you need to know, yes they've helped at least one lucid dreamer out here. Today I've remembered to gain self awareness more times than I can count because I "remembered" that a mass of dark energy or a dark energy being's hand would come out of the vents and grab me and possess my body, if I didn't have total awareness of Mind, Body and Spirit. I feel like my mind is working at 1000x the pace as usual, so I'm not gonna make this long. Essentially what I wanted to say if that we have very similar, possibly identical goals, you said "want to unravel the mystery of the "mnemonic" word." I want the same thing! Except with everything, I want to see the world, words, feelings, emotions as exactly what they are, I want to know the origin of it, I need to know what it truly means and digest it's essence to see it as exactly what it is, because words only seem to dilute what something is and I'm better with working with the "feeling" of a thing, it's energy. But at the same time I want to be able to express this thing through the use of words. (Going far off topic)

Anyway, thanks dude, I can't form a cohesive post right now but thanks, this is going to help me a LOT on the long run. Honestly I'm not supposed to be on DV right now because I forced myself away from it to enhance my LD consistency.

As for how this would help with lucid dreaming, I had the same question. Until I realized that this was a concept that you had to combine with awareness, that the concept of enhanced memory alone wouldn't aid with lucidity until you combined it with awareness. Which would over time bring you to a state of constant awareness through your enhanced memory always "reminding" you to be aware. At least that's how my mind has put it into words right now, maybe tomorrow I'll look at this post and say "What was I thinking?" (And just in-case, future me, your mind was working in a place beyond it average processing power and you didn't know how to handle it so basically you can't form ideas into proper sentences and you aren't thinking about what you're posting. You're living in the moment! You have no clue what brought you to this point and you aren't even thinking about where you're going with this whole thing, just going there and not looking back, isn't this what you wanted? Quite a bittersweet blessing.)

Thanks Memm! (This whole brain thing isn't really related to your post, it just gets like this sometimes, kind of like I've put pure caffeine into my blood and it's pushing my brain to a place it isn't used to going.) I'm gonna go draw!
