This trick will work better if they place you on their nightstand. If you are the last image a person sees before they sleep, they'll be more likely to dream about you.^{[2]

Talk to the person. Wait until the person is in deep sleep. While the person is dreaming, try saying something to them quietly, such as "Dream of Nicky" or "Didn't Nicky look pretty tonight?" Don't be loud enough to wake them up.^{[4]

- The reason this may work is because you tend to incorporate sounds and sensations into your dreams. Therefore, if you use your voice to talk to a person, you may be able to trigger your image in their mind.^{[5]

Whether you have a signature perfume or you prefer a particular soap, introduce the scent to the sleeping person. Like sounds, smells can be incorporated into dreams, and if it reminds the person of you, you may show up in their dream.^{[6]

If you can get the person to play it before bed, you may be able to encourage the person to dream about you.
For instance, leave your favorite necklace behind that reminds them of you. Try leaving it on their nightstand to remind them of you before they go to sleep.

- For instance, if the person you are trying to get to notice you asks you what movie you like, don't just say, "Oh, you know, comedies." Be specific: "I really liked the latest Star Trek movie. I know a lot of Trekkies hated it, but I loved the story line."
People like being told nice things about themselves, and you will increase your chances of being memorable if you do compliment someone.^{[9]

To stick in someone's mind, you need to stand out from the crowd. Therefore, you need to do things out of the norm. Wear a silly hat around the person. Bake a cake for them. Do something that makes them remember you in particular.^{[10]

One way to show you are interested in a person is to listen intently. You show you genuinely care about what the person thinks or says. Because this quality is rare, it will help you stand out.^{[11]

Try a hook. If you're just meeting a person, give them a memorable piece of information about yourself. The best kinds of hooks are funny.^{[12]

- For instance, say you're meeting a friend of your sister at a gathering in Arizona. You could say, "Hi, I'm Carrie's sister from Oklahoma. I tried to leave the tornadoes behind, though."
When starting up a conversation, move away from questions about the person's job or the weather. Instead, try more interesting topics, such as a local play that's running or a great book you just read.^{[13]

So there's this concept called remote viewing. This involves projecting yourself into different places with your energy. Start by getting into a meditative state and imagining your spirit rising above your body. Then, set a clear mental intention to visit the person in their dreams. For example, if you tell your child you'll visit them in their dreams, you're focusing on connecting with them in the dream realm. However, this process doesn't always work because it also depends on the other person's openness and ability to connect with you.

It could mean that your subconscious is processing your feelings and desires related to this person. If your crush recently asked you out or talked to you, your dreams might reflect your excitement and anticipation about connecting with them. On the other hand, if your crush doesn't know you exist and you're admiring them from afar, your dreams could be a manifestation of your hopes and desires for a future connection. Dreaming about your crush might also be an intuitive projection of your wish to be with them. When thinking about your crush and dreaming about them, you're energetically putting your feelings out into the universe, hoping to connect with them on a subconscious level. This subconscious feeling might even influence your crush to start thinking about you and be interested in you.

If you won't do anything, it won't happen. You have to do at least one of the instructions for it to work.
