I have been successful doing this with gold. Send me $20, and I will teach you how.
Okay, seriously, while I don't think this is possible, I have heard (on some youtube vid, I think, wish I could remember it, if anyone has a link, please share it) of some people who dream of an object and then FIND that object somewhere in waking life.
This just happened to me. Here's how:
In very short, I had a lucid dream in which I was fighting an enemy armed with a gun. I had a jackknife in my hand. The enemy was around a corner, and I threw the jackknife into a wall so that it deflected and hit him in the head, stunning him, and allowing me to win the fight.
Now the dream shifts. I am in a schoolyard, and a girl has this jacknife in her hands. She uses it to scrape the ashes off a partly burned old wooden sign, and reveal some runes beneath the ash. I recognize the runes as magical (elf runes?) though I cannot read them. I wake up
Then the weird thing happens. I go into my computer room, and find my old jackknife sitting on my desk.
Okay, I don't think it teleported there, or formed out of ectoplasm or similar. My desk is pretty cluttered and, though I have not seen that knife in a long time, I certainly was surprised to find it so quickly after the dream.
Possibilities:
1. Pure coincidence.
2. The jacknife was in my field of view, my subconscious noticed it in waking life, projected it into a dream, and that was that.
3. As 2 above, but there is some sort of mystical significance to the event. Not a physical object appearing from a dream into waking life, of course, but my subconscious guiding me toward this object for some reason.
It is interesting to me that the knife was significant in this dream, even as the dream changed, in two widely different manners: it helped me protect myself, and it revealed something unknown to me. Significant? I don't know.
Anyway, the way this guy in the youtube vid said dream objects were supposed to work was more or less like this: you dream about an object, later you find that object in waking life, and it has some sort of connection to you that aids you in your dreaming quest.
Please note that I tend to be very (though not dismissively) skeptical about this kind of "magic", but it was an experience that gave me pause. I saw this vid a long time ago, and certainly was not looking for a "dream object" (though, as an old D&D player, I would not say no to having my own magic dagger ), it just happened, and I was reminded of this.
Looking for other opinions, from the most skeptical to the most whimsical.
