Picking and Choosing Your Dreams

Experts believe you can actually "program" your mind to dream what you want it to.

This could be a sanity-preserver for those suffering from recurring nightmares. With practice, such a person could easily end the ugly cycle.

However, you don't have to be experiencing nightmares to benefit. Anyone could use this "programming" to their benefit, even if it's purely for amusement's sake. Possibly the best scenario would be the person with a dilemna of some sort in his life.

Let's say a young college student, Joe, is feeling overwhelmed by school and work. He uses this technique to make himself dream about his situation. In his dream, he brilliantly handles his time management problems with flair. He awakens, renewed, with a few ideas in mind, and voila!, he makes the Dean's List, gets a promotion and buys a yellow Hummer. Okay, Joe and I got ahead of ourselves, but you get the idea.

Okay, how can you program yourself to dream what you want to? Easy as falling on ice. Throughout the day, think about what it is you want to dream about. Do you have a subject in mind now? If you do, start thinking about it right now and do so several times before bed. It's worth noting that the longer you spend thinking about your subject, the stronger your chances of success.

Don't have a subject right off the bat? No problema. Use Joe's yellow Hummer. Seriously. Picture this grand vehicle in your mind. Spend several minutes right now creating the image in your mind. What would the interior look like? Picture yourself getting behind the wheel and turning the key. Buckle up. How does it feel? What does it smell like? Are you cock of the walk or what?! Repeat this imaging sequence throughout the day. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if you dreamt about a Hummer this evening.
