Thanks guys, those are all good ideas! I think im going to try that list thing. Now that i think of it, almost all of my lucid dreams have happened because i realized something i thought about came true. Or because i thought to myself, if i think that, it will happen because its a dream.

IMJ : So are you saying your light technique isnt not to cue you into a lucid dream while you are actually dreaming? because couldnt you technically set it to go off when you would probably be in REM periods like the nova dreamer does?
