from dream, to ld, to ap

[knightlight]

I have very vivid dreams, lucid even, every time I sleep.  I have an infinite amount of difficulty realizing I am in this state and fully waking.  I simply react instinctively, or act as I wish, but am still under the belief that everything around me is normal, i am not some place special and the fact that I have never been there before and know no one around me has no impact on my ability to wake up.  If I could harness my awareness more fully I believe I might be able to project every night, maybe multiple times.  Any advice?

thanks, pardon me for asking an obviously frequently asked one.
