This is just my opinion, please correct me if you think I'm wrong.
Hmm, i think you can pretend to be lucid dreaming in a non lucid, yes, but it is rare and the good thing is it can also be a lucidty trigger because at some point you can really become lucid, and you start laughing.
And yes this exercise is helpful specially if you do it with the mindset of reality checking.
