Have you ever seen the movie Waking Life?
It is a beautiful film about Lucid dreaming, the protagonist in the film is jumping between being conscious and unconscious in his dream one evening. It also touches what it means to be fully awake and present in everyday moments. Anyways, it might be helpful for you to see it as some research.
