Problem Solving Method.
Before laying down to sleep, think calmly about the issue or problem, filling your mind with every bit of information, pros and cons of the issue. Run it all through your mind, making it into a story-like telling of what would happen if... the best outcome for myself and everyone-else would be... Whatever..
NOTE: Practice, patience and persistence is required, I don't think anyone could just get this on the first time of doing it, so don't just give up! Try and try again!
It may even take several nights of contemplation to get the answer, or perhaps it is a problem that you cannot find the answer to on your own, in this case, perhaps you should run your problem past a friend or relative you respect, who knows you.
Later, even if they do not or cannot help, often the answer will present its-self to you, perhaps the next night after talking it over with a friend.
The answer may come to you when you least expect it, say; when at work or watching TV, exercising or playing sport.
The method; Whilst laying down, ready to sleep or rest for some time.
Let your mind dwell upon the issue, problem or goal to be attained;
If it is a problem or an issue, ask yourself.. What would be the best outcome (for everyone), of this, and what would be ten times better than that?
Try to do this 'conscious thought' without worry and fretting about the problem, as this would probably keep you awake!
If this is the case, let go of your thoughts after thinking about the problem for a few minutes. Think of pleasant times, things that make you happy, loved ones or a time when you were happy and joyful, holding that thought till you go off to sleep!
If it is a Goal; Ask yourself, 'what should I do to move toward this goal, a real action step that will physically be the next step towards my goal'? (and then then next step, and the next, and so on).
You should find yourself falling asleep in this train of thought. Don't worry about WRITING ANSWERS DOWN as they come to you, but DO SO, by all means if they do, if you think or know you are onto a positive and exciting idea!
I have often ended up writing for many hours into the night, when problem solving and brainstorming over goals and problem solving like this. It works!
Why this problem solving works!
Your conscious mind needs stimulation to think and to concentrate on a specific idea or train of thought. We humans do this in order to develop ideas! One thing leads to another, but; if you don't get the idea for the first thing, then the "leads-to-another" -part won't happen!
Take a Defensive Stance!
If someone is pressurising you for an answer, just say; "I need more time to think about it", then, if you know all the facts, politely refuse to talk about it furthermore with them. They will soon learn that you are not to be bullied into making a decision there and then!
If you don't know all that facts, run through it with them and then say, you need more time to think it over, especially if they resort to undermining your intelligence by saying things like; "Of course, your only logical decision is to...".
More on why it works!
When you sleep on it, you pass your problem, question or desire, (of goal attainment), over to your inner mind, or subconsciousness. This is 'The One Inside' you.
Your unconscious or subconscious mind is part of the universe and of the universal mind. If you have any trouble believing this, the universal mind can be thought of as God, or a greater power, whether alien or not.
Most people believe in something. Whatever it is that you believe in, then this is the power that will bring the answers to you, whatever your faith or belief.
For most people, NATURE, (mother nature), is a recognised greater power that cannot be doubted. The wind, rain, sunshine, gravity, plant life and all living things too wondrous and varied to even start to list exist and are thriving, (despite mans best attempts to damage, contaminate and kill off the planet). This is the power!
Whatever power or greater force you believe in, it is this force that will provide the answers for you.
