You need to get with other people who do this. It sounds unlikely to go away, so It makes sense that you work with other people in a similar situation to build a culture around it. Together, you could find ways that you could take advantage of it and function your best while waking and asleep.

Personally, the unbroken linear experience of being awake works to keep me aware that I am awake. I tend to shift between focus on tasks and cognizant awareness throughout the waking day. For example, when my eyes and mind turn away from the computer, and what I'm doing on it, I tend to do be mindful until I need to focus on something else. I say tend to be because it comes and goes. However, I'm lucid enough during waking time to recognize that I'm not dreaming. My main way of understanding this is the long unbroken rolling now that is not there in my dreams. Does this make sense to you? Another way of saying it would be that I've extended my conscious awareness of where I've been all day. Somehow this seems to keep the distinction clear for me. I do not spend as much time in lucid dreams as you do and have periods when I am busy or tired where I don't LD at all, so I don't know if this applies to you.
