I think that's a good analogy, too. I think I need to practice remembering that. I haven't been too good at DEILD myself so far, even though I frequently get burned by waking up, recording a dream, and then going right back into non-lucid REM within minutes because I wasn't expecting it. Even when I am, I still seem to be annoyingly good at losing both my lucidity and access to memory as soon as I hit sleep at present.
