So your example is somewhat flawed I would say.
I don't think you have any proof of the above. How do you know every dream you ever had was simply filled with memories or mixed up memories. How do you know you've never dreamt of anything not yet discovered or created? You assumption is that the imagination part of your brain is turned off during sleep and only your memory part of the brain is running, which I don't think is true, at least not in my dreams. In my dreams it seems like imagination is running wild and creating crazy stuff because the logical part of my brain is silenced. This point doesn't really matter to the rest of the thread though so no big deal, but I have had dreams in which things I have never seen or done before existed.

Because this world is way more consistent than the dream world. The dream world is fuzzy, illogical, non-linear, etc. And you always wake up from it.
When you're INSIDE the dream though it doesn't seem fuzzy, illogical and non-linear, does it? I remember having a dream where I was at home, and then like the next moment I'm at school without any walking or driving to get there. This is obviously impossible in the waking world but in my dream I thought nothing strange of it. I just kept going with the dream and never thought back about the fact that I suddenly got transported from home to school in an instant. Inside the dream, everything seemed "normal". It is only AFTER you wake up that you realize how "unrealistic" the dream was. How do you know this world isn't exactly like that? Seemingly real because you haven't woken up yet. Have you seen The Matrix? Minus the machines part using us as a battery, how do you know your whole life is not just imagined?

It wouldn't screw up my world if I was the only one able to do it, lol.
Yes it would. Come on, honestly if you could make $10k appear in front of you in cash out of thin air right now, how could you continue to live a "normal" life? You wouldn't just use this 'power' to manifest $10k and then never use it again. If you didn't crap your pants from fear you would probably try manifesting other stuff right away like a car outside your driveway, then your neighbour sees it so poof you manifest him dissapearing, then the police are after you but poof you manifest them gone, your wife gets home and wants to know who's car that is and then what happens? All of a sudden your whole world changes. What's the point of having a job then? Why watch TV? Why do anything if you can manifest any outcome you want instantly? Why have a wife? Why raise kids? Why even have a car? Just manifest teleportation. Why go anywhere in the first place? Want to manifest your favorite food? Why? Why not just manifest the pleasurable feeling of eating that food? In fact, why not just go directly to the end of line and manifest all absolute possible forms of absolute pleasure and joy and every possible positive feeling for eternity?

Are you sure your life wouldn't change? I'm not so sure.

Ok.
1. How would I have to formulate/intend it? In a way so people here cannot say later: Well, dude, you did it the wrong way! Of course it didn't realize!
There are many articles Steve has written on the HOW. You can watch the movie "The Secret" or read the book "Ask and it is Given" or if specifically looking for money manifestation I have used "The Science of Getting Rich" to manifest money. All of those explain exactly what you need to do. Just follow the instructions.

2. How long would I have to wait for it to become true? Because if I inherit $10000 in 2015 because of the death of my uncle, who has no children, then I wouldn't attribute it to the LoA because it's not such a big surprise.
Well, if it took 10+ years for my manifestations to come true, I would be on this forum with you being totally skeptical of LoA. From most of the examples I've seen from people and my personal experience I would say as little as 24hours to as much as 3-4months is typical depending on what you're manifesting and how much visualization you do etc. Personally I have never set any specific target dates for the manifestation, I just focused on what I wanted and let the universe deliver it at the perfect time.

Try it out, you might be surprised at how quickly things happen. You might want to start with something smaller but more unlikely. Like for example, you might want to secretly (without telling ANYONE) do the exercises to manifest a movie that you like but are unlikely to see in the next while or a song. For example, lets say you pick a movie like Top Gun. Do manifestation exercises on that and continue to do them while you wait. The manifestation might happen in a way that you see the movie on TV all of a sudden, or someone gives you the DVD or you're at someone's house and they are watching Top Gun or you see a clip about it on the news or something of that sort. I know, I know, it's not very convincing as it could be what you would call a "co-incidence" but it's a starting point. You could pick a song that they never play on the radio anymore and see if you hear it. These are just warm-up manifestations that won't ruin your world. You could then move up to manifesting $100 from an unlikely source, or something like that. These are still little tiny manifestations that your skeptic mind will still dismiss as co-incidence, but as you create more and more of them you'll start to realize that the chances of all these co-incidences happening all the time like that are slim to none and you can set the intention to make them more and more unlikely. Along the way though, you will encounter small fears that surface about what could happen to your life if all this is true. You'll need to deal with those.

Of course. As I said I've got no problem with the LoA as motivational tool. But what's absolutely ridiculous is the magical claims that people make. I could create things out of thin air if I just believed in it, huge sums of money will just appear in my life without ANY reason at all, etc.
If LoA was just a motivational tool that got us off our asses and made us work harder to get the things we want it wouldn't be anything special. We've know this all our lives. What makes LoA special is the fact that it breaks what you would consider "reality". Everyone who I have known who tried out LoA used to be just as skeptical as you are, but you can't deny what you experience so as soon as you create stuff for yourself, you'll be just like the rest of us making what you now consider "magical" claims.


To help you manifest the things needed to make you a believer I will release my need to have you as a skeptic in my life. Thank you for demonstrating to me the life I have left behind. I have given up nothing, and have gained everything. Thank you.
