^^ I could see how that would be confusing, Urside. I'm not sure that LaBerge was talking about MILD autosuggestion there, as much as he was setting intention/getting your mind in the right place.
Also, for what it's worth, in English "I will recognize that I'm dreaming" is much different from "I want to remember I’m dreaming," in that the logical flaw is not present in the latter phrase. This phrase is looking to do a little prospective memory-triggering by getting your mind in the right place in general (rather than a momentary recognition) for remembering that you are dreaming. In other words, if it works, during a NLD you will remember that you are dreaming and be lucid, because you have laid the general notion that you are dreaming into your mindset, and instructed yourself to prospectively remember that you are dreaming. I hope that made sense; if it didn't then don't worry about it, because it's pretty far off topic anyway.
And, again for what it's worth, I'm pretty sure LaBerge himself would have a real problem with calling even "I want to remember I’m dreaming," because he is more interested in getting the feeling of wanting to LD in your head than a specific instruction.
