I have been practicing ADA for a few weeks and so far I've noticed better recall but not much lucidity. I just hoped doing this might get me used to noticing changes in the environment and asking if I'm dreaming. Awareness all day is hard to keep up, I've been getting better at it but I still notice myself drifting off a lot. Doing this technique (if you coud call it that?) seems like it would be an instant cue to ask if you're dreaming and get in the habit of noticing strange things around you. Also it could be a reminder to keep up awareness for a while since I'm always forgetting about that 
I'm on spring break for the next week so I think I'm going to test it out over that time. I started yesterday by moving my computer chair to an odd spot of my room before class. When I got back I faked being surprised by really questioning if it was a dream and why my chair is in a different spot. I can't tell if it will help though because I still obviously knew that I had moved it in the first place which might affect it some. One thing I kinda like about this idea is that it can be just be something completely random every time, so that you don't get used to the same things over and over, so that may make it work better.
I'll keep testing it for a while and see how it works out. Just as some background for reference: I'm still a beginner, I've had very few LDs. I've known about it for a couple years but I only started diligently practicing since the beginning of this year with maybe like 4 really short LDs total, my most recent about 2 weeks ago.
If someone's tried this out I'd like to hear your experience with it or if anyone else wants to try this out to see if it helps them be more observant just let me know.
