If you want to make your dreams come true overnight, you need a clear goal, a positive mindset, and a little luck in addition. Don’t just wish and assume that the universe will give you exactly what you want – you need to imagine that your wish has come true and use the power of optimism. Start by writing down your wish, reflect on it, consider making it more specific, and read it over and over again. Create a vision board or mantra to gain insight into your desires. If you can, take action to get closer to your dream. And one thing you also need to remember, there is no way to magically make anything happen overnight.

Make a wish

Be realistic about the limits of your wish. You need to understand that wishing alone is not enough to make anything happen. However, that does not mean that wishing is useless. Writing down and focusing on your wish will help you know what you want, why you want it, and how to get it. You will be much more experienced if you realize that wishing is actually a visualization technique rather than a miracle. ^{[1] X Research Source}

Consider what you can accomplish in one night and act on it. Do your best to achieve the goals.

Determine what you want to come true. Begin the question “What am I hoping for?” Be specific and figure out what you want to happen in the next 24 hours. If there’s absolutely no way to make your wish come true overnight, consider turning it into a long-term goal. ^{[2] X Research Source}

For example, the wish “I want to graduate from a prestigious school” cannot happen if tomorrow is not graduation day and you have not completed your studies yet. Wishes of this kind should be better long-term goals.
If you don’t know what you wish for, think of something happening tomorrow that could make you happy. Try to envision something that needs to happen for the best-case scenario to come to fruition. Everything good that can happen tomorrow can theoretically be considered a wish.
You need a little luck to make your wish come true. It doesn’t matter if you wish for something that’s not entirely within your control.

Make your wish as specific as possible. Once you have a general idea of what you want, think about if you can narrow it down a bit. For example, if you wish for a boyfriend, try adding more details to your wish. Do you want your boyfriend to go to a certain school? Does he have a special hairstyle? How did you two meet? Questions like these can help you narrow down your wishes. ^{[3] X Research Sources}

It will be difficult to know if a wish that is too general will come true. For example, if you wish you had good health, does that mean your wish didn’t come true when you had a runny nose? The more specific your wish, the easier it will be for you to know if you’ll get it.

{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/8/8a/Make-a-Wish-Come-True-Overnight-Step-3.jpg/v4-728px-Make-a- Wish-Come-True-Overnight-Step-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/8/8a/Make-a-Wish-Come-True-Overnight- Step-3.jpg/v4-728px-Make-a-Wish-Come-True-Overnight-Step-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}

Ask yourself why you want that wish to come true and adjust. What must come, it will come. If your wish comes from greed and selfishness, perhaps you need to reframe it in a more positive direction. Once you know what the main idea of your wish is, ask yourself, “Why do I want this to come true?” and “Will the world be better or worse if my wish comes true?” The answer will tell you whether to wish for it or not. ^{[4] X Research Sources}

For example, if you wish you had good grades, don’t think, “I wish I had good grades to show my friends how smart I am.” Instead, you should think, “I want to get good grades because it shows that I am making progress in my personal development.”
Never wish for something to hurt or harm others.

Advice: Don’t wish for more than one wish. If you are distracted, both wishes may not come true.

Write down your wish, reflect on it, and hang it in your room. Write your wish on a blank piece of paper, look at it for 1-2 minutes and read out loud what you have written. Use specific words and think about how to make your wishes even clearer and more precise. Ponder whether your intentions are good or not. Once you’ve decided on a wish, you can either rewrite it or keep the first draft and hang it up in a conspicuous place in your room. ^{[5] X Research Sources}

When you regularly see your wish clearly expressed in words on paper, you will be motivated to stay focused on it. And sticking the paper up where others can read it will help keep you on track if your wish doesn’t come overnight.

Create a vision board to visualize the wish. Find a large board or foam board. Buy some magazines or print out some pictures found on the internet related to your wish. Cut out the pictures and apply glue or tape to the board to create a vision board. Arrange the vision board however you like! Paste multiple layers of photos and add illustrations however you like to create your own unique touch. ^{[6] X Research Sources}

The vision board will help its owner focus on the goal and visualize the vision of success. It also serves as a therapy or a fun creative activity.
For example, if your wish is “I wish my first day of school will be fruitful and I will be loved by my classmates”, you could crop pictures of friends having fun together, teachers teachers smiling at students or photos of close friends giving each other a hug.

Imagine your wish come true. Don’t let anxiety and fear rule you. Visualize everything that you expect. Draw in your head the most perfect scenario. Visualize your wish coming true when you’re getting ready for bed, doing your vision board, even talking on the phone. Keep thinking positive things to ensure that you are always prepared for a good outcome! ^{[7] X Research Sources}

If you’re struggling to stay positive, try to identify what’s causing you to have negative thoughts and fight them.
For example, if you’re afraid of not getting what you expect at Christmas, try to figure out what you’re really afraid of. If you’re afraid of being forgotten by your family or Santa, combat that fear by reminding yourself of every reason you deserve to be remembered!

Meditate to stay calm and face your wish. When meditating, sit upright in a chair or on the floor in the lotus position. Turn off the lights and remove any distractions. Close your eyes and focus on breathing steadily by counting each breath. Once you’ve relaxed, start thinking about your wish. Let your mind wander freely, exploring other paths, different ways of thinking. ^{[8] X Research Sources}

Advice: Meditation is an effective way to think about the outcome and different aspects of a wish. For example, when you wish for a friendship with a close friend, you might envision the two of you remaining close years later.

Write a wish over and over to create a spell. A mantra is a phrase or a slogan that is repeated over and over. The goal here is to help you focus on that phrase to imagine it and make your wish come true. Sit down and take a blank sheet of paper in front of you. Start from the top left corner of the page to write down your entire wish. On the second line, rewrite your wish by copying it verbatim word for word. Keep doing this until you have filled the page. ^{[9] X Research Source}

You can let your mind drift a bit while you do this. Think about every word you’re writing and listen to your body.

Recognize the limitations of wishing and don’t despair. Maybe at some point you find yourself facing an obstacle in fulfilling your wish. At times like these, go ahead and amend your wish. You also need to understand that wishing is not a scientific method for achieving goals. It is simply a tool to help you get closer to your desires and energize them. ^{[10] X Research Source}

Wishing is not scientific. There is no way to guarantee that your wish will come true.
The most common limitations are expecting others to behave a certain way. For example, you might think, “I wish my dad would buy me a new game tomorrow.” This wish requires your father to do something beyond your control. Try changing it to “I wish there was a new set of games tomorrow.”

Avoid using spells or other tricks to get your wish. Things like enchantments, spells, or other mystical tricks can’t make something happen. You can use these as a means of visualization or reflection, but they cannot directly help you achieve your wishes.

You will be extremely disappointed if you have put all your faith in some kind of magic without success.

Determine what you can achieve overnight. If your wish includes something that can be done today, take action now. For example, if you wish tomorrow’s exam goes well, then you have to study the night before and review your notes! If your wish revolves around you having a crush on someone, pick up the phone and call your crush and ask them out! ^{[11] X Research Source}

You cannot sit back and hope that your wildest dreams will come true without taking action to achieve it.

Advice: Your wish will not be thwarted if you act accordingly. In fact, you are making your dreams come true!

Talk to a friend or loved one about your goals to get help. If your wish can be achieved with the support of others, think about whether a close friend or relative would be willing to help. Tell them your wish and what you want to achieve in one night. Even if they can’t help you directly, they can still give you advice to get you closer to your goal. ^{[12] X Research Source}

Say something like “I have a wish and am hoping for it to come tomorrow. Do you have time to talk to me for a while?”

Make a to-do list so you can make your dreams come true. Before you go to bed, get out a pen and paper and write down all the steps you can take in the next few days to get what you want. Keep the to-do list in a prominent place in the room and work it from top to bottom. Cross each item when completed. ^{[13] X Research Source}

For example, if you wish to graduate from a prestigious university, make entries such as “Find good schools you can afford”, “Learn about the application process”, and “Visit schools”. selected school during the summer break”.
Put the most achievable goal at the top of the list to make sure you get the first few hits. This will help you get off to a good start and build momentum.

Put your wish under the pillow when you sleep. Take the first piece of paper you write your wish on, fold it and place it under your pillow. When you fall asleep that night, believe that your wish will come true. You’ll sleep better knowing that your wish is under your pillow, and because it’s next to your head, it’ll help keep your mind focused while you sleep! ^{[14] X Research Source}
