I didn't realize this until I had kids and my sleep became constantly disturbed, but the only times I'm consciously aware of my dreams are when I'm awoken during the dream. If I am given the chance to have a peaceful night, then it's just an instantaneous time shift from falling asleep to awake with nothing in-between. So I could see how one of these types of devices could be handy to gently bring the consciousness out of deep sleep.
