Not so long ago I was struggling to fall asleep and was wondering if I should move to the couch to see if I could sleep there. I had a very realistic FA that I fell asleep on the couch and struggled to wake up and get off the couch to fall back to sleep in my bed, until I realized I was already in my bed and I had fallen asleep there.

I wonder if I can trigger memories of me when I fell asleep at my mother-in-law's in Japan and try to have a FA there so that I can explore Japan and feel like I'm back in that atmosphere there.

Just a thought. I'm planning my next lucid dream target, so thinking about what I should do. I might want to do this.

Anyone ever try this before? I think I can easily trick my mind through playing on my emotions. For instance, today I used my fear of falling asleep and getting caught in my dream to trigger a lucid dream and it worked well. The fear is there, but I'm rational enough to overcome it and have fun with my lucid dream. However, I don't know if I can trick my brain enough to think it's in Japan. Though, perhaps just visualizing it and having the experience of falling asleep and waking up in Japan will be a powerful enough mnemonic to trigger something.
