My take on this. Any form of mental training is helpful. Mental training should evolve as the practioner grows, so many varying mental tools are eventually used. The brain creates new pathways from the training, and this advancment in neural processing is there while you sleep, as it is a physical improvement. ADA is a fine method of self-improvement and will lead to new neural development, but ideally will not be the only form of discipline practiced. (also, I have always considered ADA to refer to Yoshi's tutorial)
Awareness is so key to LDing that it is almost not up for debate. The idea of a spontaneous DILD involves two factors (IMHO), first the moment when you noticed an anomily may have been leading up to the lucid moment, and not be remembered because it occured pre-lucidity. Second, the development of the new neural connections that allow 'seemingly spontanious' DILD, are built during waking life by new levels of attention/ awareness in one thing or another.
