Are you implying this as to the fact that you will recognize you are not beathing in the dream world? As in, a simple reality check/dream sign being the breathing? I assume so. Unless you are just trying to pair breathing with the question of "is this real", which also works by simply thinking about breathing in your dream since your mind has paired the thoughts.

This is really just another way or option for a typical awareness scenario.

Really, a lot of us try to question reality constantly and constantly bring this into dream world. There are a lot of techniques or events in which you could focus on. The repetition of breathing makes it a good choice.

The problem is that it will not work the same for everyone. What I do personally is tell myself "I am in a dream when not at my house". Even though I'm not always at my house, if everytime this thought comes to mind I do a reality check, the idea is that it will carry over well to a dreaming scenario in which I am not at my house.

The demise of any solution is in the simple rememberance factor of the person themself.

I do not always remember "I'm in a dream" when I'm not at home and do a reality check. Therefore, I do not always question the scene in the dream I am in.

Once I can think to myself that I am in a dream 100% of the time when out of the house and reality check, I have a strong feeling 90% of my dreams outside of home will have a chance at lucidity.

The importance factor to the individual must be kept up and the habit must see a constant factor of increase until lucids theoretically peak. Any time you slack in the real world you slack in dream world.
