First of all, stop bickering over whose technique that is. At best it is LaBerge's technique, but most likely it's just a general technique like WILD. I've first stumbled on this technique in 2004 and was trying to promote it ever since. But I believe I was the one who coined the term "Dream Reentry", cause this is how it can be explained...
Dream Reentry Tutorial
I've first experienced the technique a couple weeks after listening to LaBerge's hypnotic tape. One of suggestions he says goes like this: "You may reenter any dream that you wish or create any dream that you wish"... And one day I just did. That was the starting point. Look for "Trance induction of Lucid dreams Daytime/Bedtime" if you want to improve your chances. (I'm not exactly sure of the name of that track/cd)
Let me summarize my experiences/highlights of this technique:
-First of all, remember that this is a technique, so you have to put effort into it. It's not just falling asleep after waking up. It is conditioning your body and mind (although somewhat simple) so you can fall asleep consciously. If you didnt put effort in the technique, dont say that you've failed - you just didnt try.
-It requires attention and can be performed many times a night
-It works best after a few hours of sleep
-You may reenter just about any dream that ended prematurely or close to the end. Some dreams just run out of juice and are very hard to reenter.
-Reentering lucid dreams is easier because you may catch the awakening moment easier
-The main thing about this technique is confidence and faith. It may take 30 seconds, 1 minute or 5 minutes. Many times I gave up trying and fell asleep nonlucidly within couple minutes of trying. Just lay there, not moving and just focus on the last scene of a faded dream or an intimately familiar dreamscape. Even if you dont feel anything after a long time, just do a RC on the digital clock. Several times I've found myself in the exact same bed but in a dream.
-When trying the technique you NEED to focus on some specific image. Without focus you will just fall asleep or will appear in a random dreamscape. It is also much harder to detect the onset of the dream (it is not like WILD at all. It is very soft, no transition phase whatsoever, images "phase" around you, first being ethereal then becoming solid) < this is the most common onset I experience. I used to have WILDs when I just started experiment with the technique, then they were gone.
Back on topic of focus: when you are focusing on an image (be it your common dreamscape or the last scene of a faded dream) you are able to distinguish between the reality and a dream. Once you appear in the scene you were visualizing you are INSTANTLY lucid. It DOESNT matter what the setup/dream scenario is. If you catch the dream onset, you are lucid no matter what. Just be careful, it takes a few moments for the image to become solid and for you to obtain a "dream body" - before that you are like a point of awareness, but as the dream solidifies you obtain a body.
-Knowing that you can "reenter" just about any dream gives you confidence and removes anxiety of waking up from your dreams, allowing for LONGER and better LDs...
-When trying this technique you may become a "Lucid God" - I've been one for about a month - LDs every night, multiple LDs each night, multiple reentries of any given LD... It is like a snowball... Confidence induces more LDs, more LDs boost your confidence. Combine this technique with "Non Induction" technique and you may easily experience it. The problem is - after such easy technique there's little motivation to try something else, and if something breaks the cycle, it is hard to get back in the cycle, as you are so used to easy effortless LDs.... You may also stop practicing techniques you were doing before, cause they seem so "weak"...
-This technique can be used to gain enormous amount of control over the dream content - you can reenter a dream from within a dream while changing the dreamscape. For example I've teleported, overcome movement impedement obstacles (like force wind) and removed enemies from within dreamscapes... All you have to do is focus on the dream scene you are in, imagine the change and shift your perception from the scene that is around you to the scene in your mind... This once again gives you a boost of confidence in your LD control abilities, and more confidence = more control.
What we have here is a mega technique with a great potential for improvement - think of how many WILD induction methods there are? With many people trying this technique it can be greatly improved.... What we should do is spread the word, and think of spinoffs and improvements for this technique.... If not you, then your friend may come up with a way to make this even easier. It would also help to motivate people to do this technique if it gets the same publicity as WILD or DILD...
I myself have been practicing it on and off for a long time now, and my advise would be - DONT STOP once you get your results, otherwise you will break the cycle described above.
