i have an idea for initiating a LD but i have never had a LD before(sadly) so it will probably be easier for a more experienced person. so the idea was to tell your mind/subconscious (basically just ask it or strongly believe) to send a DC(or other indicator) in your dream to tell you you are dreaming (similar to LDILD but while you are awake). send me your feed back please.
Moved from General Lucidness. 
Good idea, but I experienced that our subconscious is not very fond of us messing around in his/her space, so asking our subconscious to send us a DC to tell us we are dreaming would be like a robber asking to leave the door of a bank open at night, lol.
My DC’s always tried to convince me that I was not dreaming when I was lucid in a dream. Sometimes they succeeded, those damn DC’s 
But anyhow, it is worth trying. Maybe your subconscious is waiting to meet you face to face.
Hi,
It’s actually a know technique, I’ve seen a few ld’ers who had their “dream annoucers” who always told them when they were dreaming.
Pretty useful
I think you’re talking about CALD - Character Assisted Lucid Dreaming. The current BIG topic on it can be found here. The Character Chats topic can be found in the playground. Good luck!
