I was wondering if awareness of the gap between stimulus and response can achieve lucidity. It seems like becoming lucid is the ultimate gap between stimulus and response: An angry gorilla appears at your door, if you become lucid you can completely ignore the stimulus - the gorilla (if you choose to) and choose better things to do for the rest of the dream (the response).
I was looking for a point in my NLDs that could be called, "Most aware moment". I think that moment may be the gap between someone talking to you (asking a question in particular) and you answering. This is the most aware moment because you've heard a question, there is a pause for thought, and - like in real life - you use that moment to consider your answer (or other options).
Could the focus on that moment help becoming lucid? When you complete your DJ you could spot this moment and see how you used that delay - log what you though and how you answered. In WL you could become aware of the gap when someone talks to you and you could become more aware of your options - and aware that there is indeed a gap between stimulus and response; the aim is to carry this over into dreams.
