I think I vaguely remember Lang mentioning this somewhere actually. It sounds familiar.

Now, it's making me think of Doraemon's pouch, which was a sort of Tardis-esque pouch that was an entire universe in itself pretty much. It'd be a pretty interesting concept to apply in a dream and somewhat applicable for wrinkledlion's problem in a way; in the Doraemon anime, Doraemon himself can sort of go into his own pouch and the other protagonist, Nobita, I think does go into the pouch himself a few times too; although ordinarily it's used as a plot device that enables Doraemon to pull out any sort of futuristic gadget for Nobita.

I think cartoons aimed more at children often have lots of good or interesting ideas that we could apply to lucid dreaming problems, because very aptly in a childlike manner they defy what we would reasonably expect otherwise, which is a bit of an adult brain issue.
