Oh of course, got a little carried away by my mind's love for mindsets for general self-help.

Autopilot and unconsciousness is what we are engaged in when we are dreaming, so to get drunk is probably a good way to get a sense of what that feeling is like.
But the very act of becoming aware of your own state of mind in the moment, the motivations of your action and not being on autopilot but using your own will, I believe is a crucial characteristic of a lucid dreamer.
