Update: I tried my method out and experienced no lucid dream last night. My dream recall was not affected either (I didn't expect it to but I just thought it would be informative to note). One variable that could of caused the absence of lucidity last night was the fact that I didn't begin the method until much later in the day. Today I have been telling myself that I'm dreaming constantly through out the day followed by reality checks. So I can't wait to see the results!
