Dwelling on the Desired End Before Sleep

Step by step

1. Identify a desire, particularly one involving the well-being or happiness of others.
2. Before sleep, consciously think about and feel the reality of this desire being fulfilled.
3. Dwell in the feeling of the wish fulfilled as you drift off to sleep.
4. Trust that this impression will manifest from the subconscious into the physical world.

Before falling asleep, focus on and dwell in the feeling of your desire being fulfilled, especially for the happiness of others. This state of consciousness before sleep impresses the subconscious, leading to its manifestation.

My wife woke too early to get up this morning, so she thought about what she wanted most, and that was for her husband and daughter to be blissfully happy. Thinking of what she could do to make it so, she realized that it was something they alone must decide. Then she fell asleep dwelling on their happiness and this is her dream: Seeing me lying on a couch she heard me say: "I don't feel comfortable here," and she replied: "I know - you don't like to sleep on the first floor, but would rather be elevated and sleep above.” Then the dream changed and she was putting a puzzle together with our daughter Vicki, who began to laugh as she picked up a piece of the puzzle and watched it fall into its perfect place. Looking at Vicki she said to herself: "I have never seen her look so pretty and be so blissfully happy." Then she awoke. Her desire for happiness was answered in the depth of her being and must now come to the surface.

The state just before sleep is highly receptive to impressions. By dwelling on the desired end (e.g., the happiness of loved ones), one plants the seed in the subconscious, which then works to bring it to fruition. The dream confirms the impression was accepted in the 'depth of her being' and will now 'come to the surface'.
