Inducing a certain dream setting?

[ChrissyMaria]

Is there a way to um, like plan out your dreams before you have them? I want to dream about a specific and personal person/s and 'stuff' with them, how do I go about inducing a dream about something i want to do in the dream?

Use autosuggestion: Tell yourself that you will dream about [WHATEVER] at [WHATEVER] with [WHATEVER] Repeat it to yourself a few times in your mind, then picture you ideal dream in your head. Keep it in your head for a minute or so and then do whatever you want getting to sleep. I have used autosuggestion every now and again for years and it is amazingly reliable for me.

I actually have tried just that, i guess i didnt try hard enough?

Do you get better as you keep using autosuggestion to induce things? With getting better I mean that you can get more detailed results en faster/easier.

You have to day dream until you sleep, keep day dreaming until you pass out. It worked for me, what i day dreamed went straight into my dreams and continued it's plot.

I would keep repeating this until i pass out.

You might try visualizing the place as you lay in bed falling asleep. I've heard that works very well.
