Dream hack: I started leaving my car keys in the fridge before bed

For a whole week I kept having that 'late for work' panic, but after I put my keys next to the milk, my brain just accepted I was already home. Anyone else find a weird object that fixes a dream loop?

My version of this was putting a heavy book on my phone charger. For three nights straight I dreamed my alarm didn't go off because I was searching for it in a giant, empty warehouse. The book trick worked, but now I just have a weird dent in my charger. My brain's solutions are never simple.

That dent is just proof your brain's fix worked, even if it's a bit odd.

My buddy kept dreaming his teeth were falling out every single night. He read online to sleep with a mouthguard, but he didn't have one. He ended up putting a clean sock in his mouth before bed. It sounds totally crazy, but it actually worked for him. He said his dreaming brain just needed that weird physical signal that his mouth was full and fine. He only did it for a few nights before the dream stopped.
