## Canonical source context

This is a phenomenon-and-measurement worksheet, not a dream-induction lesson. It supplies five fictional sleep-laboratory records and a complete verification key. Do not change bedtime, interrupt sleep, set awakenings, restrict sleep opportunity, attempt a reality-check routine, treat nightmares or use dreams for trauma work. This page remains static classification only and authorises neither lucid-dream induction nor a natural-awakening practice. Dream recall, a retrospective lucid-dream report, polysomnographic REM and a correctly detected prearranged signal are separate records. A verified signal event is stronger than report alone, but it does not prove reliable trainability, control of every dream, daytime benefit or harmless sleep disruption.

Target outcome: Define dream recall and lucid-dream skill without inheriting mythology or broader claims. Explain what the current evidence supports and what it does not establish. Use the declared measurement boundary and recognise misleading proxies. Complete the current learning route without converting it into unauthorised capability practice. Make a retention, transfer, maintenance, provider or stop decision without overclaiming.

### Authority and setup conditions

- Governance ceiling: explanation and static fictional record analysis only. Capability self-practice, live administration, protocol delivery and efficacy claims are not authorised until the recorded next_gate adjudication changes.
- Use only the supplied fictional laboratory records. Do not set alarms, interrupt or restrict sleep, attempt induction, provoke nightmares or use substances.
- The classifications cannot establish dream control, treatment, durable training, daytime benefit or safety of sleep disruption.

### Required or supplied materials

- The five fictional records D1–D5 in the fixture; no dream diary, sleep change, alarm, wearable or induction attempt is needed.
- Verification key: assign VR only when the stage is polysomnographically scored REM, the complete prearranged left-right-left-right eye sequence is detected, and two independent scorers agree 4/4; assign UR when a lucid-dream report exists but VR criteria are absent; assign DR when any dream content is recalled; assign SQ when the record shows shortened sleep opportunity or worse next-day sleepiness.
- Classification sheet with four yes/no columns labelled VR, UR, DR and SQ, plus one evidence sentence and one non-claim per case.
- Boundary card: STATIC FICTIONAL RECORDS ONLY; no induction, awakening, sleep restriction, trauma processing, nightmare treatment, universal trainability or daytime-benefit claim.
- Answer key hidden until all five cases are labelled.

### Supplied fixture

Fictional sleep-laboratory records for recall and verification classification

| Case | Sleep-stage record | Prearranged eye-signal record | Independent scoring | Retrospective report | Sleep opportunity and next-day note |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| D1 | Polysomnography: REM during signal window | Complete left-right-left-right sequence detected | Two scorers agree 4/4 | Dream content recalled; report says awareness of dreaming | Usual 7-hour opportunity; no extra sleepiness noted |
| D2 | No polysomnography available | No signal channel | No independent signal score | Detailed dream recalled; report says awareness of dreaming | Usual 7-hour opportunity; no extra sleepiness noted |
| D3 | Polysomnography: N2, not REM | Two of four movements resemble the sequence | Scorers do not agree on a complete signal | Dream content recalled; report says awareness of dreaming | Usual 7-hour opportunity; no extra sleepiness noted |
| D4 | Polysomnography: REM during signal window | Complete left-right-left-right sequence detected | Two scorers agree 4/4 | No dream content recalled next morning | Usual 7-hour opportunity; no extra sleepiness noted |
| D5 | Polysomnography: REM during signal window | Complete left-right-left-right sequence detected | Two scorers agree 4/4 | Dream content recalled; report says awareness of dreaming | Opportunity shortened from usual 7 hours to 5 hours; worse next-day sleepiness recorded |

## 1. Copy the four labels and the full three-part VR rule

Copy the four labels and the full three-part VR rule. A report saying ‘I knew I was dreaming’ cannot replace REM stage evidence or signal agreement.

Why: “Copy the four labels and the full three-part VR rule” creates the auditable value, condition or statement needed for the tutorial’s later comparison and conclusion.

Success check: A legible entry directly completes “Copy the four labels and the full three-part VR rule” and records the requested condition, decision or boundary without adding a new claim.

Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “Copy the four labels and the full three-part VR rule. A report saying ‘I knew I was dreaming’ cannot replace REM stage evidence or signal agreement.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “A legible entry directly completes “Copy the four labels and the full three-part VR rule” and records the requested condition, decision or boundary without adding a new claim.” Do not convert the research task into capability practice.

Alternative relationship: Target preserving when declared check is preserved

## 2. Read stage, signal detection and scorer agreement before reading the retrospective report

Read stage, signal detection and scorer agreement before reading the retrospective report.

Why: “Read stage, signal detection and scorer agreement before reading the retrospective report” isolates the named evidence distinction so the learner can interpret Dream recall and lucid-dream skill without extending the claim.

Success check: The output directly answers “Read stage, signal detection and scorer agreement before reading the retrospective report”, names the relevant distinction and stays within the supplied record.

Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “Read stage, signal detection and scorer agreement before reading the retrospective report.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “The output directly answers “Read stage, signal detection and scorer agreement before reading the retrospective report”, names the relevant distinction and stays within the supplied record.” Do not convert the research task into capability practice.

## 3. Assign VR, UR, DR and SQ independently

Assign VR, UR, DR and SQ independently. More than one label may apply, but UR is used only when a lucid report lacks VR.

Why: “Assign VR, UR, DR and SQ independently” carries the authored Dream recall and lucid-dream skill method into a reviewable output without adding an unstated task, dose or claim.

Success check: Evidence of completion shows the learner followed this exact instruction without adding an unstated step: “Assign VR, UR, DR and SQ independently. More than one label may apply, but UR is used only when a lucid report lacks VR.”

Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “Assign VR, UR, DR and SQ independently. More than one label may apply, but UR is used only when a lucid report lacks VR.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “Evidence of completion shows the learner followed this exact instruction without adding an unstated step: “Assign VR, UR, DR and SQ independently. More than one label may apply, but UR is used only when a lucid report lacks VR.”” Do not convert the research task into capability practice.

Keep dream recall separate: a verified signal can exist without next-morning recalled content, and recalled content can exist without verification.

Why: Keep this exact Dream recall and lucid-dream skill action explicit and reviewable: “Keep dream recall separate: a verified signal can exist without next-morning recalled content, and recalled content can exist without verification.”

Success check: Evidence of completion shows the learner followed this exact instruction without adding an unstated step: “Keep dream recall separate: a verified signal can exist without next-morning recalled content, and recalled content can exist without verification.”

Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “Keep dream recall separate: a verified signal can exist without next-morning recalled content, and recalled content can exist without verification.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “Evidence of completion shows the learner followed this exact instruction without adding an unstated step: “Keep dream recall separate: a verified signal can exist without next-morning recalled content, and recalled content can exist without verification.”” Do not convert the research task into capability practice.

Treat reduced sleep opportunity or next-day sleepiness as a separate concern even when VR criteria pass.

Why: Keep this exact Dream recall and lucid-dream skill action explicit and reviewable: “Treat reduced sleep opportunity or next-day sleepiness as a separate concern even when VR criteria pass.”

Success check: Evidence of completion shows the learner followed this exact instruction without adding an unstated step: “Treat reduced sleep opportunity or next-day sleepiness as a separate concern even when VR criteria pass.”

Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “Treat reduced sleep opportunity or next-day sleepiness as a separate concern even when VR criteria pass.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person. Preserve this declared check: “Evidence of completion shows the learner followed this exact instruction without adding an unstated step: “Treat reduced sleep opportunity or next-day sleepiness as a separate concern even when VR criteria pass.”” Do not convert the research task into capability practice.

Finish each case with a bounded statement about the record, not a claim about dream mastery, treatment or daytime function.

Why: “Finish each case with a bounded statement about the record, not a claim about dream mastery, treatment or daytime function” creates the auditable value, condition or statement needed for the tutorial’s later comparison and conclusion.

Success check: A legible entry directly completes “Finish each case with a bounded statement about the record, not a claim about dream mastery, treatment or daytime function” and records the requested condition, decision or boundary without adding a new claim.

Accessible alternative: Complete the same research action — “Finish each case with a bounded statement about the record, not a claim about dream mastery, treatment or daytime function.” — using speech-to-text, text-to-speech, enlarged text, keyboard-only navigation, shorter work blocks or a support person.
