For one, it is extremely unusual to start dreaming the moment after you initially fall asleep, unless you're polyphasic. Secondly, due to sleep paralysis, you should not be able to respond by movement other than with your eyeballs, as laberge has demonstrated.
well all attitude aside, you should atleast read the full technique before you try to disprove it. Allow me to quote myself too.

"Develop a form of communication, such as "Lifting a finger for yes" type of deal so the subject doesnt have to speak.
Some will fight saying that you cannot enter sleep paralysis and lift the finger, but its been done in my own personal experience....Twice."

I've been researching Stephen Laberge for months now, and he's also said "This may not work for you,blah blah"...some effects vary from person to person...you should know that.
Theres also something called Partial Sleep Paralysis as well.
Another thing, when you are hypnotizing someone into lucidity, you are communicating with the subconcious mind, not the awareness...so if you're brain really wants your finger to move, it's gonna move whether you do it yourself or not. I've been with my girlfriend for over a year so theres trust, and not to mention when you speak about a loved one who's passed away months before and they wake up crying, it's a dead sign.
I've done this same technique with her twice and it produced the same results, not to mention shes an every-sunday christian and she swore to me, (with hand on Bible),she had no recollection of what I had said, except for the Triggerwords and the dream state itself.
So try it if you want, if not...dont.
but dont try to disprove what i'm saying until you've tried it yourself.
