Thread: This needs to be a sticky.

I tried something last night. I wore socks to bed.

As I put them on I said: "I will now remember my dreams because I wear socks"

Well, I remembered one dream, which is quite good because recently I have had absolutely no LDs and my recall has sucked.

try it. It could also work with a wristband...a hat...or a different shirt or no shirt at all.

The important part is saying that you remember your dreams because something is different tonight. And be confident about it.

I believe that is called the Placebo Effect, saying or thinking something will work because of something that in the end has no effect on what you want to happen. I dunno

yes, I'm totally aware of that.

The thing is: Placebo is easy with some object. Socks, for example. You feel different, you sleep different, you think different, you dream different. It'll work if you can get yourself to really believe that it works. Especially when putting on the socks. That's an important part.

Last night I did the same sock thing and wow, I remembered 4 dreams! That's close to my all time record

that's awesome.

i'm definitely trying that... placebos are nifty.

haha thats slightly hysterical too.

i will remember my dreams.
why?
BECAUSE I WEAR SOCKS!

idk it made me laugh.
