I thought I'd share something interesting that's been happening to me. When I first started using the LoA, I didn't really pay much attention to what my emotions were when I set intentions. I think this has a lot to do with how I discovered the LoA. I found about it from the book "The Secret," which is a great book, but I think it underplays some of the key methods for using I-M.

Anyways, I probably would have still been setting positive intentions with negative emotions if I hadn't discovered something. I remember once I really wanted a date with a particular girl. She had rejected and bailed on me several times (I know, I'm stubborn), so I decided to use the LoA. I remember setting the intention a week before, and trying my hardest to be grateful, etc. I asked her on the date, and she agreed. Then on thursday night, before I went to bed, I intended it one more time. I remember that night I had a dream that I was waiting at the place we were going for the date, and I got a call from her. She said something had come up, so she wasn't going to be able to make it. Lo and behold, the next day, she made up an excuse why she couldn't come. That was a bummer, but that's not the key point of this whole thread.

The key point is that I was intending that she would go on a date with me, yet my dreams showed me that subconsciously, I was intending rejection. Since intentions are most effectively transmitted in the subconscious, when I would dream, the universe would get my true intentions. This helped me finally get my emotions in the right place when I set my intentions, and started receiving some positive dreams.

So if you ever intend something, but in your dreams intend the opposite, you're probably doing something wrong. :P
