Stimulation of the left brain to have a lucid dream? Effective?

I was thinking, As you fell asleep what if you listed to a recording of someone asking math or logic questions and answered them?

Am I on to something?

Or possibly describe out load the qualities of what a dream as you fall asleep? Perhaps you could even read an article on dreaming before you fell asleep.

What if you simply told yourself you're going to have dream rather than saying you're going to lucid dream?

What about vividly describing your room as you fall asleep. saying "it'd be out of the ordinary if I was suddenly anywhere else".

Not to ruin your idea, but even if you managed to light up certain brain areas involved in lucidity (which I don't think the exercises you described will), you'd still loose conscience and forget about them. There are specific chemical processes going on in the brain when you shift to sleep state that mess with your short-term memory.

You could always WILD, but then those exercises wouldn't really be needed.
