As for last night's progress, I can feel more concentration on my mantras/intentions. Finally relaxing myself after stressful working hours. Though, I slept at 2 AM. That's tiring. I can't remember any dreams except a small fragment (was in Math class) before waking up. I might also want to say that external stimuli helps in this case. I was then awoken (false awakening) and noticed weirdness. Everything looked exactly the same comparing to my natural awakenings on 2-3 AM of other nights. That wasn't possible at all, since I heard my mom from external waking life. I decided to check the clock few times and it skipped for an hour every time I checked. How great, I smiled a bit to celebrate small moment of (low) lucidity. Unfortunately, I woke up right afterwards as I felt my physical body waking up with headache. I just hoped that I didn't feel so tired when I woke up, 6:30 AM. If I managed to think less about my headache, I might be able to recall a bit more. I'm glad I can finally get rested tonight.
For daytime awareness, I'm practicing on this. My mind flashes back to what I'm doing quite often now. I haven't done too much RC, but rather pay attention and think if what I'm doing is possible or not. For continuous awareness on what I'm doing, not long to point I can feel satisfied yet. Glad I can progress well with this whether ways. This has also reduced some stress I made upon myself for no reason. (Finally, I asked myself why I would even stress myself out.)

I haven't started reading any books dedicated to LD yet. Will definitely read this whenever I have time to do so.

No, not really. It's usually my mom who wakes me up in the morning. Though, I wake up naturally around 6-7 AM nowadays. One thing: small external stimuli tends to wake my consciousness up in my dream. That way, I can feel and actually remember my dreams. Most of time I remembered my dreams (before learning about LD) are on days I woke up like... noon? Sunlight is lovely. Not a thing I can rely on. It's a thing I might be able to take advantage of, if anything tries to make my physical body senses work.
Well, thank you for your suggestions and tips! Will definitely work for that and take my fruit of labor tonight or soon!
