Okay so this may seem like an odd question. Is anyone familiar with the Method of Loci/ "Memory Palace" technique of mnemonics? For those who aren't, it is essentially a technique in which one composes mental 'pictures' to aid in remembering. The images are placed along a path or road or such that is very familiar to the person. Alternatively, an elaborate 'memory palace' can be constructed where each step of the mnemonic series is placed in a specific location. That may not be a good explanantion, but Wikipedia has a pretty good article about it-(Link).

Anyway, so obviously when attempting MILD, it is important for the stimulus to 'remember' that you are dream to come from internal prompting. But if you are using a technique like the method of loci to keep track of dream signs and such, would this skew your ability to remember to do reality checks in a LD?

Also, having a memory palace or path involves what I think is high visualization ability. Am I correct in assuming that the ability to recall the path through a building with vivid detail and 'summon' it before the mind's eye is the same as visualization? In that case, can this technique have any use for attaining LDs?
