Has anyone successfully shifted with a focus on waking up in their DR?

Specifically for sleep methods. I feel like a lot of the advice I've seen is based on doing your method with some form of pretending you're already in your DR.

Has anyone ever visualized/affirmed/etc. and basically done their sleep method with the mindset of knowing they're technically in their CR, but plan to wake up in their DR? Ex) affirming "i will wake up in my DR", etc.
