Thank you Steph!! You have a real knack for posting some great gems on this site! The study's finding rings true to me. One of the important stages of my lucid dreaming development involved the idea that "I am he who is aware of my awareness" really sinking in (I first read this in ETWOLD). During day practices, I also commonly convert that type of thinking to simply "I am noticing my thoughts/emotions" (or thinking about my thoughts). I still have a long ways to go, but it seems well worth it since there seems to be so many benefits (besides lucid dream) to being able to monitor your thoughts and the underlying reasons for why we react a certain way to certain stimuli.
Zoth, I like your thoughts there. I think that an effective approach is combining a & b…looking at b as the slow and steady, long term approach which should supplement the quality of lucid dreams but should also aid induction in the long run.
