Maybe this a little bit different, but I do tend to act out Lucid Techniques without actually being lucid. I imagine this would be from reading and thinking them over so often.

My first few LD's were actually the result of me randomly doing the hand-rubbing technique during a normal dream. This triggers memories of LDing, ending with me being actually lucid.

Did any of that make sense? Sorry if that was badly worded. :p
