Thread: Senses In, Senses Out and Incubation

I know that sight is the first sense to fade when a dream starts ending. Does anyone know the order that all the senses fade when a dream ends?

Also, when a dream starts, is the "involvement" of the senses in order or do all the senses switch on together? My instinct (and it's only a guess) says that sight is the first sense active (because of HIs?)

I ask this because, I've been trying to incubate a dream about my house (if I dream about my home I've got a good chance of becoming lucid because I habitually RC at certain places around the house) and not succeeding. I've tried an affirmation, "I'll see my house in a dream" but if my assumption is incorrect and sight ISN'T the first sense active in a dream then could incubating a dream using a sight-orientated affirmation be counterproductive?...Perhaps if the sense of body movement (is this called 'kinaesthesia'?) is the first active sense in a dream then a sight-orientated affirmation is useless because your dream body's movements within the forming dream have already decided the initial direction of the dream?

So, could there be a case of making an affirmation based on bodily-movement such as:

"I'll feel myself climbing stairs"?

(Or, perhaps more specificially: "When a dream starts I'll feel myself climbing the stairs.")

or if it were the sense of smell the affirmation could be:

"I'll smell the smell of cooking food"? (thus meaning my dream is likely to start in the kitchen.)
