Anyone notice that a thought manifests into an item or character that becomes part of your dream reality? Are there already reality checks that are developed based off this phenomenon? I can do the opposite, such as look at a piece of paper IWL and think of it as being attached to a notebook in different ways, and these won't manifest outside of my imagination, because I am not dreaming. Or is my theory/narrative wrong, have you guys found instances in dreams where your thought or imagination doesn't manifest into a component of dream reality?
