Ok i'm sure this has been discussed several times before but here's my dilemma.....


Last night I was in a very fuzzy/hazy dream room when suddenly I thought "I'm dreaming" and I immedietly went to fly (my reality check) but then i got really fuzzy so I rubbed my hands to stabilize and it worked for a second but then I woke up ( i was probably near the end of my dream anyways)

My question is if stablizing technices i.e. spinning, hand rubbing are simply a placebo effect in your mind. Like, we read on here that it will help so your convinced it will, so when you try it in a dream it works.

But last night I started thinking while I was rubbing my hands that it's probably just a placebo effect and I woke up. Now i'm worried that I've "convinced" my mind that its' only "in my mind" that it will work and now I"ve lost my stabilizing tecniques.

Any suggestions or similar experiences. Ask me to clarify if this is a little confusing
