Sorry, yes, I wasn't clear. I've been a natural lucid dreamer for 25 years now, to the point that I can't even remember the last time I had the "recognition" that I was dreaming... for me I long since just know, pretty much all the time. I'll cop I wasn't deliberately trying to exercise, but I doubt it'll matter.

Besides, this sounds like the sort of thing you can already do in your down time, riding the bus, sitting at your desk, etc. Regardless of how "lucid" you are, counting on getting anything like this done in your sleep is a crapshoot compared to setting an alarm on your phone and doing it during the day.

If indeed it works that well, which I'm still skeptical about. Common sense suggests that if it were this easy we'd have collectively discovered this as a race a long time ago. (Kinda like Larry Niven's arguments about why humans almost certainly don't have psi powers... if they worked, we'd know. The very fact we're "wondering" is strong evidence that there's nothing there, or the effect is so small as to be useless and essentially undetectable.)
