For the billionth time, no. For you to truly be playing in a mode (i.e. A Dorian) your chord progression has to be in that mode . . . otherwise you're just emphasizing different notes. An example of an A Dorian progression would be Am7, D7, Em7.

By the way, I think the beginning of Flying in a Blue Dream is in G mixolydian.
