Thread: Lucid dreaming without methods of induction. Instant?

During one of the test pattern of light which was having the light remain on and then off for 2 s and then turn back on like a beacon I was able to see the light in the dream and because it was a waking up dream where I was already awake but still dreaming I was able to dream not lucidly but with waking memory of what I wanted from the dream and it manifested in the dream. It did not last long because the light was negating the continuing formation of the dream. I did it on two nights but further testing proved that it was affecting dreaming and sleep so I had to stop.
