Thread: Lucid dreaming without methods of induction. Instant?

And if it did work the REM dreamer would not be made it would be easier to use the above idea.

But it would still affect dream recall because the light is still on unless a timer is installed to cut the light off after you gone pass the HI stage and start dreaming. Artificial light sources can be quite damaging to dream recall and sleep...do it over a 6 month period and you get a disrupted dream pattern/frequency and poor sleep cycles.
