I plan out what I want to do ahead of time and think about it a lot. I also think about it before I go to bed. I guess I attach some sort of feeling to it and really want what I want to do. I usually memorize anything that I think my logic or memory could screw up. I memorize what I want to ask my dream guide, how I'm going to attempt to keep myself from waking up and my dream plan. I hope that helps.
