Is it that obvious?
Actually what I do, when I remember, is recall my day in reverse when falling asleep. Most times I don't make it to the morning. Each part or activity of the day in reverse with feeling out what that time of the day was like helps clear the mind of what it does normally during dreaming - this way the dreams hopefully are not about little things about the day as much. Got that idea from Stuart Wilde.
I haven't tried projecting that I want something specific from my dreams - like a solution or a feeling. I'm sort of slowly getting into recall of dreams and have these little lucid times showing up. I know that if you impress on your brain an interest in dream recall, the brain will try to help. So, naturally, writing down my dreams would help. But I don't write them down - I just recall the last few dreams in my imagination when I have a quite moment. Perhaps I'll play with the neon sign idea - like imagine dreaming that during my meditations/quite time and/or part of falling asleep thoughts.
Thanks for the extra thoughts too. The shady characters would be some part of me, that I'm sure. Part of me I'm not claiming. I usually look a dreams and cast everything as part of me when I interpret them.
