Dormancy Question

I just bought an A. Obesum x Swazicum yesterday and I just had a question regarding its dormancy. I went to B&B Cactus in Tucson, AZ yesterday and picked up a few succulents including an awesome DR, a couple of fat plants, and an aloe. The DR is dormant and all the leaves are gone except for a few flowers, some flower buds, and fruit. The high and low temps where I live are 82-50 Degrees F. I want to know if it's okay to put it in full sun and treat it like my A. Obesum (which isn't dormant and having a great time in full sun and being watered about twice a week) or should I leave it in mostly shade, don't water, and pretend it's winter, and/or possibly bring it in the house until next season?
