This is really interesting, I thought it was a bit weird to be interested in dreams. I would love to see how the tech you backed is doing and how effective it is. I put up two of my lucid dream entries from my journal here on steemit, It was at a time I was curious about the personal history of dream characters, Secret Life Of Dream Characters and A Crazy Dream Experiment.
Here is my favourite technique, Go to bed and wake up around 4am, get up for like 30mins and do a few things then go back to bed. The trigger is usually automatic.
