Explain a bit more. You attach the feeling of awareness that you need to have a lucid dream to external stimuli that is a common dream sign for yourself?

Like video game related dreamsigns pop up all the time for me. So if I to the "This is a dream" thing 7 times whenever I play my games, it will attach itself to the dreamsign, so when I next dream and see the game or whatever in my dream, I will tell myself it's a dream?
