I've seen plenty of posts from those who try really hard and get no results, and the moment they stopped trying it happens. Easing up a bit might do some good. Mindfulness cannot HURT your LD foundations, only improve it. Try awareness of self, and awareness of being aware. Those internal reflections will help since you already do external awareness.

Also if you question your reality too often and don't associate it to any dream signs, you might be making the RCs too automatic.
