I suspect that these reactions are already consolidated by the psyche, simply because of how natural this concomitant antagonism seems to arise. Unfortunately, expectation is largely an instinctual, hardened response that is even harder to control whenever your brain is only half-compliant to your motives, with the hallucinations being generated on auto-pilot. Doubt can sometimes bring success, while confidence can sometimes bring failure. Trust me, there is more than just expectation involved. The question is: do you control your brain, or does your brain control you?

You have to realize that your brain does not innately use oneiric processes to fulfil your fantasies. If it did, that would be dangerously maladaptive, providing you with a false sense of reward. Think about it.

It may help to avoid determining the end of what your objectives are; otherwise, the undertaking will become protracted, while never being completely resolved.
