That's something I too noticed, methods taught here and elsewhere don’t relate too much to what my friend does in his strange WILD. Probably thinking about what you want to dream, as if you incubated one, is the first instinct for someone who knows nothing about the theory taught to non-naturals. Maybe you could ask him about the ear plugging thing?
