Has anyone ever found success by using an external object to remind them that they're dreaming whilst they're within a dream? |

I'm pretty sure it works. Since you read the book, you should also have noticed that Laberge did scientific studies on it and the result was positive if properly trained. |

So he did, you're right. But if you could start becoming lucid with an aid - then train yourself to do it without the aid - sort of like trainingwheels on a bike, you know? Once you know what lucidity within a dream is like, i'm assuming it would be easier to achieve the state, am I right? |

Nope, I don't think it gets any easier if you know what it's like, because the difficulty lies in becoming lucid. It doesn't help to have been somewhere when you don't know how you got there. Besides external aids don't work without proper training, so you need to invest some effort too. |

Devices like the one you are talking about are usually called dream goggles, or dream masks. They're a little on the expensive side, but if you search for a little while, there are schematics on the internet to make your own. If only I knew how to read them... |
