What method would this be?

Hey, readers. I rarely make posts, but I've been pondering something for the longest. Now I'm not sure what the TECHNIQUE would be called or categorized as, but I'll try to explain it as vividly as possibly.

Okay, let's say for example, one day I'm at gym class. I'm on the bleachers watching others play volleyball but then I get bored. So I start daydreaming and imagine them having super strength while pummeling the volley balls or something unrealistic like that.

Now could you do that to help lucid dreaming? For example, throughout the day, I start imagining myself being able to move things with my mind, or slashing trees in half, or making an inanimate object change colors and other things like that?

Would this simply be performing reality checks?

PS: You're dreaming!!!

Maybe if you thought about being able to do something that's normally impossible in tge day you might end up dreaming about it, and before you go to bed you could repeat when I can do (wat Eva) il reality check.

I don't think this would be a method of becoming lucid, because you are applying dreams to real life, whereas all day awareness is where you look out for things that make you think "ey, I might be dreaming". And no I don't think it is a reality check either ;).
It might even make you less likely to realise your dreaming, if that makes sense.
:D

Day dreaming is one of the ways to get more aware of your dreams. Because dreams are in my experience vivid thoughts, but with the subconscious.
So by all means try it out.

Like I like to say: If you are aware of your thoughts, you will be aware of your dreams

But I wouldn't call it a reality check.

Maybe it works. I daydream all the time. I've always done that, and I'm not sure, I would be able to live, if I didn't. I just have to escape inside my head sometimes.
But some of the things I'm daydreaming about, sometimes come to me in dreams. So maybe it helps.

And, yeah, maybe I'm just a dreamer. :cheeky:
