More doing something or not doing something?

[Telos]

I've been at this for a long time now, and it appears that the confusion around the process of projection for me is centered around this conflicting decision: Is it more about doing something or not doing something?

It appears to be some kind of combination. Is it a complex combination of the two? A simple combination?

For lucid dreaming, it's definitely more about doing something. However, when inducing it from a waking state, is it more about not doing something?

I'm very interested to hear your thoughts.
