This technique involves consciously assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled as one falls asleep. The individual is instructed to mentally place themselves in the desired physical location or state, engaging their senses and emotions to make the imagined reality vivid and natural, thereby impressing the subconscious mind.
I asked her: “If you sublet your apartment today, where would you sleep tonight?” And she replied, “In Long Island.” Then I told her to go home and sleep in Long Island tonight in her imagination. As she is falling asleep, I asked her to think of her New York apartment across the East River and tell herself that she is here in Long Island now because her apartment has been rented. Then I went to bed assuming I was in Long Island. I thought of my apartment in New York City and felt the relief of knowing it was rented. I took my time looking at the familiar paintings on the walls, the furniture, drapes, and accessories there. Then I fell asleep.
By sleeping in the assumption of the wish fulfilled, one bypasses the conscious mind's doubts and directly impresses the subconscious with the desired reality. This inner act then externalizes into physical events, as the subconscious works to manifest the assumed state.
