Thread: Question regarding ADA and daily lucid awareness

One thing that I really like doing in general, which I have mentioned a couple times on this forum, is to imagine as vividly as possible that waking life is a lucid dream.
I think this kind of "lucid daydreaming" has several benefits:
first of all, it gives you a "lucid feeling", so that waking life gets this magical dream quality to it and makes everything feel exciting, and also, it encourages you to question your state more often.
Moreover, since you feel more excited about your surroundings you will naturally become more aware and observant.
After all, waking life IS kind of like a dream anyway, since we can only experience it through information from our senses, and this is exactly how dreams are constructed - that is, through sensory input that our brain turns into something that we can identify - a tree makes no sound if nobody is there to hear it, because the kind of sound that we pick up with our ears only exists inside our brains!
The sights and sounds that we experience in waking life are made of the exactly same stuff as the sights and sounds that we experience in dreams.

I don't constantly do this every second of my day, just whenever i'm doing a reality check or whenever I get the chance I just stop and deeply think about my surroundings

I also do this, whenever i'm doing my reality check, I pretend that I just became lucid. I think to myself, omg! i'm dreaming!
