Getting someone to dream about you can be difficult. You can try to influence other people's dreams, but it may not work, as the subconscious creates dreams to deal with problems you're facing.[1] Nonetheless, you can try the tricks in this article to influence someone you know, first by getting into the person's mind before he or she goes to sleep and second by being memorable in general.

Steps

Getting in the Person's Mind

  1. Try giving the person a picture of yourself. This trick will work better if he or she places you on his or her nightstand. If you are the last image a person sees before she sleeps, she'll be more likely to dream about you.[2]
  2. Call or text the person near bedtime. If you talk to the person before he sleeps, he's more likely to be thinking about you when he goes to sleep.[3]
  3. 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 her mind.[5]
  4. Use a characteristic smell. 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 his dream.[6]
  5. Record a video of yourself. If you can get the person to play it before bed, you may be able to encourage the person to dream about you.
  6. Leave a memento that reminds the person of you. For instance, leave your favorite necklace behind that reminds him of you. Try leaving it on his nightstand to remind him of you before you go to sleep.

Being Memorable

  1. Let your unique characteristics shine. Whether you like bold glasses or own 20 cats, it's the things that make you unique that make you memorable. Don't be afraid to show that side to the person you want to dream about you.[7]
  2. Be authentic. That is, don't hide your opinion or thoughts. Being who you really are will help you stand out.[8]
    • 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."
  3. Give the person a compliment. People like being told nice things about themselves, and you will increase your chances of being memorable if you do compliment someone.[9]
  4. Do something unusual. 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 him or her. Do something that makes him or her remember you in particular.[10]
  5. Listen intently. 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]
  6. 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."
  7. Pick interesting topics. 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]
