Quick suggestion:
Go to sleep thinking of a fond memory of your past and within that vivid visualization awaken!
Interesting idea, but I have one concern:
If it’s already happened, and I’m assuming that the memory didn’t focus around checking if you were dreaming, then will you necessarily know your dreaming?
You might feel some deja vu (for a good reason 
) which might make you go lucid. If deja vu works in this case this could work as a visualization.
The thing is that when you remember a fond memory your feelings tend to project those things in your dreams with vividness.
It’s not like you actually remember the situation fully. From that place, a reality check can take you to lucidness.
