Mackay's Moral: The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up and get to work.
If you want to put your dreams to work, you need to first recognize their potential.
Keep a dream journal. The first step to controlling dreams is remembering them. Keep a journal close to your bed, and write down any dream you have as soon as you wake up (or keep a digital voice recorder handy). Same goes for daydreams. Are you frequently visualizing the same thoughts over and over again? Look for recurring themes-people, situations, etc. This trains your brain to become more aware of dream activity.
Nap. Some studies suggest the best time to attempt a "lucid dream" is during a nap taken a few hours after getting up in the morning. Lucid dreaming can allow you to fly, conquer nightmares and solve real-life problems. If you wake up during a dream, stay quiet and try to return to the dream as you drift off again.
Why bother to zero in on your dreams? Harvard psychologist David McClelland studied high achievers for more than twenty years. Among his findings, he concluded that successful people share one particular characteristic: They think, fantasize and dream constantly about how to improve their performance and achieve their goals.
