Dream Recommendations Here are some simple recommendations to use your dreams for creative purposes: Develop positive dream images that assist you in your endeavors—Doing so will eliminate the nightmarish elements of your dream, and transform negative components into dream helpers. Expose your conscious mind to all forms of art, music, literature, and data from several sources—Attend movies and lectures, travel, and engage in conversations and pursuits that stimulate your thoughts, feelings, and soul. Become healthfully obsessed with your topic of special interest—Read everything you can on it. See what others have produced or evaluated about this subject. Develop an emotional intensity to create something new in reference to it. Prepare yourself for this endeavor by building up your conscious skills in this field—Take courses, study with experts, and use your direct observation and trial and error to become thoroughly familiar with its basics. Spend a minimum of two days focusing in your area of interest—Limit your concentration to this discipline and keep this an intense preparation right up until the moment you fall asleep. It is highly recommended to consciously direct your dream content at this time. Somehow ask your subconscious to use the dream state to create a product or to find an ingenious solution to a current problem. Extract a solution from the unlimited memory bank of the subconscious. Sift through the answer and rearrange it in some original form. Present this solution in a dream that is easy to understand. Visualize and note all the details of the resulting creative dream—Record these dreams in your journal and make them as concrete and applicable as you can (while being as specific as possible). Your stream of consciousness will be active at this time.
