It started working on the first day.

Here's my latest thoughts/approach on affirmations.

In Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, the experts always recommend writing your thoughts down or you won't benefit as much from CBT. I suspect the same applies to affirmations: you should write them down, and the more ways you represent your affirmation the more ways it will be recognised by your brain (and hopefully sink in).

At the moment, I write lines, just like school days. The line I'll write for an affirmation is, "I'll realise I'm dreaming, RC and fly." About the first twenty lines I'll do in black ink. Next twenty in red ink. Next twenty with a thick felt pen. Then I mix techniques. Sometimes I'll write larger so the letters cover three lines. Sometime's I'll make a tune as I read affirmation's words. Sometimes I pause at the end of the line and visualise the affirmation being successful in a previous dream, or a fantasy dream.

Last night I filled three pages of A4 paper with an affirmation, "I'll realise I'm dreaming, RC and fly."

Interestingly, in a dream last night I dreamt of doing a test at school, and of a biplane and helicopter crashing. So I think what I have also done is create a dreamsign.
That is a very, very interesting technique that I've never heard of before... but it looks like it could work!
I will be trying this soon
