Although there is a bit of a subjective element to it, there are some universal concepts that can be applied. Tiktaalik has already mentioned this fairly decently when he said this:

There's not much I can add to that if I'm honest.

Depending on how this goes for you, it can be a good way of setting intentions around broader signs as Tiktaalik has mentioned; in a way you could say that you could set an intention to RC by expecting the unexpected. Ideally this is something you can do on your run up to bedtime and whilst actually in bed too, while keeping in mind that for the next hours you're going to be asleep and likely dreaming too.

In any case, for me this is actually related to what I was on about when I said I have difficulty actually performing RCs in dreams. My dreams often have locations and other dream content based on games I play and apart from that, a great number of my dream locations only have a very distant relation to real locations I've been to, often meaning that many of my dreamed locations are mixes of many different sources. Because so much of my waking life already involves surreal/imagined/dreamlike content (mostly because of art and games), it's seemingly very difficult for me to be truly surprised by almost anything while dreaming.
