Well I’m able to do this when I wake up in the morinng and fall back asleep. I can think of something I would like to dream about and then, I fall asleep thinkning of this and I have the dream of that specific subject.
For example this morning I was thinkning about sledding and i had a dream about sledding!
That is the technique my mother uses to get her lucid dreams Have you heard about the technique called VILD? It is when you imagine yourself becoming lucid in a dream scene, and later dream about the same scene and become lucid. It looks like you could do that by taking it one step further.
BTW, I believe what you are doing is called dream induction.
That never works for me. It goes back to when I was little, if I ever saw a scary movie and I was afraid of having nightmares about it, I would just spend a while thinking about nightmares before I went to sleep and I’d never have one. Only works for some people, I guess.
I find using autosuggestion to do this helps a lot. Doing this until I actually fall asleep almost never works. I just say once of twice to myself, “I’d like to dream about this and that,” and then forget it and go to bed.
Well what I do is when I wake up early in the morining on a weekend (Because You need at least an hour for this) Is that i just see my self doing what I want my dream to be and then I fall back asleep back into that dreamscene. However I dfont become lucid… <_<
