    I completely agree. Infact this morning I got woken up part way through a dream where I was actually resolving the problem. I guess all the other times this ‘brilliant inspiration’ has happened I’ve just remembered the solution when I woke up, just not the dream..

    I’ve always liked the idea of an alarm clock which wakes you gently just as you’re leaving your dreaming phase/REM sleep just to see if you can nod back off and do the whole lucid dreaming thing easily.
