I personally do not feel comfortable with the idea of going around IWL thinking everything is a dream, I would rather do SAT, ADA or something similar, but I was wondering if anyone had tried and with what results.

You are not supposed to believe that waking life is a dream either, the point of this technique is to realize that waking life and dreams are constructed the same way - from sensory input.
One piece of very strong proof that waking life is not experienced directly is the fact that you can hallucinate - hallucinations don't exist in the physical world, it is your brain that creates them - and the same is true for everything you see in waking life.
It is a model by your brain, not the physical world itself.
