Face-mounted Lucid Dreaming Mask

Nate True just posted a really nifty lucid dreaming assistance mask design. He includes a schematic, PIC code, and some nice discussion of his previous design attempts.
This is just one of a whole slew of amazing projects made and hosted by the folks over at cre.ations.net.
A few weeks ago the idea hit me. Why bother detecting the sleep state at all? If I’m not dreaming, I’m not conscious enough to see flashy lights (so long as they’re dim enough). So why not just wait until I’m asleep, and then flash lights at some predefined interval?
It was, of course, pure genius. With no inputs but the passage of time, the device could not fail. I would only ’see’ the lights if I was awake or if I was dreaming. A simple reality test would tell the two apart!
