Different Affirmation to "I will realise I'm dreaming"

[TheWeirdnessSymposium]

I was thinking of trying a different affirmation to "I'll realise I'm dreaming" when I go to bed at night. I was wondering how well, "When I'm dreaming I'll remember going to bed" would work. Has anyone used that? Do you think it would work?

I've tried it without success. Good luck though. hope you find a method that works for you

I've been trying to think of something else, too. I sort of feel like something that I come up with would be more meaningful to me and thus work better.

things like these dont work much for me, but I've heard of people that have lucids every nights from a similar technique. The person I read about always does checks where she remembers the last thing she did. If the last thing she did was go to bed, she knows shes dreaming.

Lol, I just say "I will have a lucid dream" and think about dreaming to do MILD. It works pretty well

I'm doing affirmations in the present tense at the moment. If I say "Next time I'm dreaming I'll know I'm dreaming" then when I'm in a dream and think the above affirmation, won't I think the affirmation is about some future event and thus I ignore it?

Yes, I think a good one is 'I am aware'. It is in the present.

I forget where I got this from, but I like to simply say, "I am dreaming," throughout waking life. Some monks somewhere...

One I'd like to experiment with (or I'd love feedback if anyone's tried it!) is "I'll lie down, relax and try to go to sleep" (when in a dream). I'm thinking for DEILDing purposes (and maybe inducing FAs).

I'm thinking for DEILDing purposes (and maybe inducing FAs). I have went to sleep in dreams before. Sometimes the dream just ends, and I enter dreamless sleep. I had an amazing experience with this once, though, went to sleep, and woke up in another dream, and it was one of the most intense vivid dreams of my life. Then, that dream ended, and I woke up in the original dream! I don't think you really need an affirmation, though. To me an affirmation is like a mantra that you repeat throughout waking life.
