Become 'awake' when you are 'awake' - most people, even LD seekers are not -- I should actually say -- conscious during the day, they sleep walk through life.

Take a different route to work, take a different door to the same building, sit in a different spot if you can. Move you furniture or do something to change what you normally do.

Not just that but be aware of your awareness. Whenever you see a habit forming in yourself - consciously UNdo it! If you can hone this skill, I can guarantee your consciousness will be 2-10times fold what your normal (lucid) dreams are. If you can stop a habit so ingrained in you while awake, then every time you (especially) go into your 'turtle shell' when a monster comes at you and just run instead of facing him. You will be able to stop and face that monster while asleep And that's just one example ...
