Dreaming is, in many ways, the ultimate psychological technique, as it is all about what is happening in the subconscious. This is a waking dream, but it is important to start in a dreamy way, and then steadily progress towards reality. In dreams, anything is possible. Starting from the dream will help you to discover much more than if you start from the limited thinking of a waking now.
