Say you have formulated some key points from studying a new topic for you like journalism.
You would take an ABC list from something very familiar to you say gardening. Or, you develop a few analograffiti words from gardening that you like. Could be the names of some flowers that are your favorites or terms like planting or summertime flowers.
Then you hang your new material on the letters of the ABC list or the terms like summertime flowers. You exaggerate it so as to be able to recall it easily.
Last night i programmed for a dream that would offer me info for a problem. I awakened w/ recalling the dream. Before getting too awake, i just narrowed the over all feeling of the problem w/ the dream to one word: committment. I used the letters of the word committment to work on the dream. I did 2 different things here: 1. i used my Anchorman list. C=camping=i've never been camping so i think there is some resistence to change in me that is holding up being committed here. O=office building & i would feel safe on the 15th floor. Ok, that shows me i'm really not too keen on the needed change i'm seeking or trying to implement. M=mystery & again the mystery book needs to be read fully to solve the mystery, so i just have to plow ahead here.
The amazing thing is i did this before waking up fully & i can easily recall it. You have to do it to believe it.
Then 2. i just did word association w/ the letters of the word committment. C=change, O=open, M=manage, M=ake it happen, I= interest, etc. Like a free association but w/ a word that could lie at the root of my problem here.
I am also thinking that it would be possible to use a trigger word as the center of a MM & then just use the letters to generate ideas from the material. Haven't done that yet.
Hope this helps...
