What he said^^^ But I visualize past dreams and visualize myself becoming lucid in that past dream. I link non LDs subconsciously every night (started when I was young consciously) and it doesn't help me get lucid unless I visualize actually becoming.

What you are doing though is great for incubation with just visualizing awesome scenarios. I do this a lot, because if I don't get lucid then who cares? I am in an awesome place.

I also wake up a ton during the night, but I do so without an alarm so as to not lose any dreams and I hate alarms. Keep up the good work and motivation!
