Yes, that can work, but expectation is determined by past experience, so with him already experiencing something unwanted, his expectation can lead him down the wrong road next time he lucids. It is like if I hand you a cupcake and punch you in the face the second you bite into it. Next time you eat a cupcake, you are going to be a bit wary, because you are consciously or unconsciously expecting something bad. Especially if the time I handed you a cupcake was one of the very few times that you had eaten a cupcake..
