I use technology to help me with lucid dreaming :P .. I put the cell phone under my pillow and than when the alarm goes off, I click on the rear button to switch it off and immediately go back to sleep. After 10 minutes the clock goes back on and I'm woken up only for a sec and I have my finger on the button, I just click the button and fall back to sleep. I can do this up to an hour or so and it is simply amazing, how vivid the dreams are and all the details I remember. But usually I forget it somewhat till the evening, so if I dream something worth remembering, I immediately write it down when I completely wake up.
