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

Basically what I've been doing is questioning anything and everything, as in dreams you quite often do crazy things without much thought as to why and what you're doing it for. For example my trail of thought earlier was this:

*goes to kitchen*
*opens fridge*
Why did I just do that?
Ah, yes. Because I'm hungry.
*closes fridge*
Why did I close it?
Ah. Because if I don't it will ruin the contents of the fridge.
*puts meal on the counter*
Why was this in the fridge?
Oh. Because if it wasn't it wouldn't keep that nice.
*gets spoon from drawer*
Why do I need this?
Ah, I see. Because it's the right utensil for the meal.
*needs to go to toilet*
*puts down bowl*
Why did I put that down?
Oh. Because it's unhygienic to take it into the toilet with me.
*goes into bathroom*
Why did I close the door?

You get the point.

My question is whether this is an existing technique? And if not, could it help me to become aware during my dreams? My theory would be yes, as I'm taking in every detail of what I'm doing, thereby making the chances of catching myself doing something dream-like higher, as my reason for doing it/what I'm doing wouldn't make that much sense. It reminds me a lot of ADA/SA(T) which is why I'm wondering if I've read this elsewhere before, but it's also completely different to both of those techniques, as it doesn't utilise senses, but the logical side of things instead (which has no place in normal dreams).

Care to help a fella out, peeps?
