This might be well-trodden ground research (and experiment) wise, but I was thinking if a sudden, massive reward on becoming lucid may increase our chances of becoming lucid in the future. Anyone done any research or done some experiments?

I know some folk try to reward themselves for lucids once they awake from an LD, and some have taken a "Lucid dream tonight or else!" kind of mentality (but "If I don't LD tonight I'm not eating for three days!" ain't my kinda thing) but I'm talking about an instant reward while still in the dream.

I'm thinking the reward may be something physical like immersion in a giant vat of cream cakes, sex (of course), or having an instant all-over massage by ten "slaves". The intellectual could be something like having great pleasure at hearing music you like, or reliving the moment you met your spouse.

I think it would have to be something instant and very intense. (So no foreplay, just going straight to the "oooh" stuff maybe).
