      Repeated Waking Induced Lucid Dream

      Sometimes in the mornings when my alarm goes off and I keep hitting snooze my dreams are very easy to retain during the little mini naps I have inbetween alarm soundings. It gave me the idea of using and alarm to wake yourself up repeatedly, tranferring yourself from wake to sleep to wake to sleep in a short period of time. IMO I believe that this could help build your awareness to the dream state from having been awake very briefly many times during the dream cycles, helping to wear down the threshold between states so that lucidity is more easily retained while falling asleep. "Lucid Lubrication" in a sense.

      I also believe that, if it does not induce lucidity outright, it would be a good exercize for recall, having a dream during each mini nap and writing it down, furthering a persons attempts to recognize dream signs etc.

      That's a good point. Ever since I've been using alarm again (ugh school), I've been having very short dreams when I go back to sleep after hitting the snooze button.

      The dreams however feel more like strong HIs than actual fully immersive dreams. I will usually not even realize I'm seeing/feeling things from a dream until I wake up again. The dreams don't get vivid, and I usually have to ask myself after I wake up "wait, did I just really dream that or was I just thinking is my mind playing tricks on me?" Perhaps the dreams don't get really vivid because deep inside I know I only have a few minutes to dream, and that if I fall asleep too hard, I may miss class.

      Indeed. If you write them down.
      I too have these epics of dreams where I can have up to ten dreams. Each becoming less vidvid in succession if I do not write them down. Although I too have ruined the "Zone" I was in by getting up and writing & recalling the dream. So which is better?!
