Avalanche, I had basically the same experience as you. I was making an iPhone app that reminds me when to do RCs and the first day it was reminding me every 30 minutes. I had a lucid dream within a really short time of starting (probably the longest lucid of my life). But after that, the results haven't been so dramatic. Doing regular checks has still improved my lucid rate by 100 times, but I attribute this freak dream to spending the whole day thinking about the app and lucid dreaming, and that carrying over into the dream at night.
