Daytime incubation technique: Do you ever do this or am I a nutjob?

So I'm walking home from the gym today and the heavens open, it pours it down. I'm getting soaked and I have a fair way to go, I'm sort of irritated. I spontaneously imagine one of my regular DCs hopping over the road with an umbrella, I RC, not dreaming. He strolls alongside me, and a while into the visualisation, it stops raining (it was actually 10 mins after but it felt quicker cause I was daydreaming.)

'Thanks, darlin'' I say in my head, (I'm nice to my DCs) 'I'll see you tonight, okay?'

He smiles and the visualisation fades.

I actually do this all the time. It allows me to get a sense of what I'm planning to do in my next lucid and how I would react to it. So no, you're not a nutjob

It's that or we both are

Yep, I do this sort of thing as well. I believe anything we do to bring our dreaming into our daily lives helps build our relationship with our deeper Self, and enriches us. And it helps with LD. Writer and teacher Robert Moss talks a lot about these "active dreaming" practices. Various areas of psychology, including Gestalt and Jungian psychology, also strongly encourages activities that give life to our dream images beyond the sleep state. So keep on dreaming, whenever and wherever!
