This is actually 2 different items.

1. Awareness
2. Transfer activity from daytime to a dream

1. We do this excercise of trying to remember backwards what did we do minute ago and before that, and how did we arrive to where we are at that moment to get better awareness.

I'm sure many of us are going through our days like on autopilot, like a zombie. We drive to work, but do we notice things around us? What cars are next to us, the stores on the street, pedestrians? Or do we just have a tunnel vision, focusing only on narrow field of vision, not really caring about anything more.

Then that's how our dreams and lucids will be. Foggy, low lucidity, and we can't stay lucid for a long time.

If during your daytime practice you come to conclusion (find the answer) that 5 min ago you arrived home and before that you were driving home and before that... Then in a dream you will come to conclusion that 5 min ago you were going to bed so now you must be asleep.

But if you don't find an answer during day, you will not find any answers during night as well and you will just continue with your non-lucid.


2. When we RC during day and think "I am dreaming", this will start happening in our non-lucids and it will urge us to RC and we get lucid.

The only thing we "pretend" or "fake" is the realization that we are dreaming at that moment during daytime practice. But after your first LD, when you realize you are dreaming even if just a minute ago you KNEW you are awake, it will no longer be fake. Because you will remember that no matter how sure you are you are awake, it only lasts till you RC and you realize you are dreaming. At that can happen at any time. Even right now.
