I not only agree that outer events *can* play a role in dream content,
*I'm* the person that mentioned the alarm clock incorporation in a
previous post.

In context, what I'm objecting to is Ken Easlon's claim that, for
example, sleeping with your knees bent makes it more likely that you
will dream of walking up stairs.  I'm very dubious that your sleeping
position plays that strong of a role in shaping the content of your
dreams.
