Thread: Is this something genuine or have I read it elsewhere and forgot?

It does exist, it is basically awareness throughout the day. But if I may make a suggestion, I would suggest you alter it.
What you are doing is justifying what you are doing. The fridge door is open because you wanted food. Ok. But then in a dream, you go somewhere, and then you ask why, and it's because someone told you. Ok.

Can you see my point? You need to question, not just think up an excuse. How I recommend you do this is:

*go to fridge*
"Why am I at the fridge?"
*because I want some lunch because it is one o'clock and the last thing I ate was breakfast*- and then maybe think of what your breakfast was.

This way that if you were actually in a dream, it might not be lunchtime, or it might not even be the right fridge you get your lunch from, or it might be the wrong house, etc.

It is awareness throughout the day, but I feel this is different. My reasoning is this:

Current ADA techniques focus on you using all 5 senses. This doesn't touch senses at all. If I were to practice getting myself to question everything I did in-depth AND ask myself if it fits with real-world logic, that would mean every time I did something which didn't seem logical I'd combine it with a reality check to check if I was dreaming or not.

For instance:

*dreaming of going to college and almost late for class*
How do I get there in time? I'll fly!
*flying*
Why am I flying?
Oh. Because it's faster.
Wait.. Flying isn't possible!
*reality check*
*lucid*
