Cultivating lucidity directly

[..]Normally we are as caught
up in and carried away by our mental activities in the daytime
as we are in the nocturnal mental activity we call dreaming.
Rarely do we step back and simply observe our minds in action,
becoming cognizant of the nature of the reality we are experiencing
in the present moment. It makes sense, then, that if you
can become lucid in your daytime experience, this will greatly
facilitate lucidity when you're dreaming. Settling the mind in
its natural state can also be effective for reentering dreams
when you awaken at night.[...]
