self verbal commands is just telling yourself you're able to do something you can't do in a dream. Like if you were trying to ooze thru a wall to see what's on the other side but the wall is hard and you can't get thru it, you might try saying out loud "Let me through" or "I have the power to go thru." I kind of look at it like dream prayer. Honestly, I think you have to do more than just say it to make it true. I think you have to believe it to make it true, unless saying it makes you believe it, then you can just say it. Anyway, that is my opinion and experience.
