Could you elaborate more on your steps..? Do you not move whatsoever when you are "waiting" for this dream to "appear" ? I don't quite understand what you mean by "focus in front of you"... Do you clear your mind of everything else except your closed eyelids themselves? I would love to try this method out, but to be honest, I have almost no idea what you are even talking about.
You are way over complicating it if you are not understanding. Yes you clear your mind but not needed if you would like and focus in front of you, of course you would have your eye lids closed when sleeping and that is it, you would notice that you get pushed back as thoughts come to you which is what distracts you and next thing you know you wake up in the morning, so try to avoid losing focus in front of you by getting lost in thought.

See also the Prajna Paramita text, which has been noted by quantum physics, which ties to LDs in a Matrix like way.
I have noticed that lots of things found in Buddhism seems to be connected with our modern quantum physics. It is as though meditation takes you to a quantum level of our reality.

I meditate daily by the way and I definitely recommend it to anyone for relaxation, wisdom or even for a psychedelic type trip. To me it is twice the marijuana high when I get into its deeper level and a great substitute for it.



Good luck.
