Oh I do something similar to try to avoid bad things happening. Like if there are several possible scenarios that might happen I believe I reduce the chances of the undesired outcomes by visualizing them (it also prepares me psychologically for all the options). I don't know if this is the catholic in me or just my island upbringing, but I always expect the worst in life so I figure if I can already think of the worst life can throw at me I have the jump on it and it has to think of something else.
