yeah, its essentially a MILD technique with a bit of a booster. I'm still working the kinks out and it seems my intention is becoming more solid albeit still spotty.
So, the feeling thing is a bit tricky. Laberges technique mentions imagining you are lucid and feeling as if you are lucid. That is essentially what I am doing in a roundabout way. There are a couple feelings I have managed to isolate and utilize for pre-sleep MILD teks...

1. Love/Unity - While lying in bed with closed eyes, I summon a feeling of connectedness and unity with everything. This is a specific feeling I have isolated in my spiritual practice. It is the same feeling anyone would describe as love. Loving someone, something, nature, etc.. Whatever memory you have of that feeling will tremendously aid the production of the feeling while in bed since most of the time feelings arise through moment to moment experience rather than conjuring them out of thin air.
Once that feeling has been felt, just bask in the sensation. Let it linger. While the feeling lingers, begin whatever mantra you might be using. And that is basically it. Most nights, it takes me a few minutes to get to that place, and some nights it feels impossible. Other nights it happens in a moment.
My premise is that I have noticed that the unconscious responds to emotions and feelings more than memories. When I produce powerful feelings of intention, love, determination, or willpower, it always has an effect on my dreams. Utilizing this pervasive feeling of love can be a catalyst, or vessel if you will, for intention and will.

2. Eliminate ALL doubt. This is much easier after that feeling of love is created but it can be done alone as well. This has been mentioned on dream views before and its power should not be underestimated. Completely convincing yourself that you will have a lucid, and you will remember your dreams is very powerful. That is, if the feeling is produced effectively, and sustained until entering sleep. Memory of past failure will always creep in, but after a good bit of practice, the elimination of the doubt will override any negative feelings.

anyhoo...I figure dreams are basically all emotion and energy, so using the same to induce them seems logical.
