Every time I'm about to fall asleep I have to be really still
or I lose it and have to wait twenty minutes to get back
to that again.

Thanks for the advice, everyone.
You set your alarm for 4-5 hours into sleep, and then for every 30-60 minutes after that. You might have to tweak the numbers a bit. Basically you're waking up during a dream, which makes it really easy to remember. Keep your journal handy...
