this works i had my first lucid with this tecnigue.(congragulate me!) but i ran in to satrange complications noone else has had. one: i almost woke up three times but held on all three times. two: i lost control of the dream in the last half i could not control anything though iwas still aware that i was still lucid. three : after wards i had a huge dry spell and could not even recall for three days. since im now on reserch team i feel inclined to ask this. all you lucid people do you have a gate-way dream? pleas reply
