This is basically what one does with the keys too. Because you hold the image of the key and you are silent, because that is the state of mind naturally when one is close to dreaming. If one wakes up and goes to sleep again the mind is generally more quiet, so if you have this key you just shoot right to it.
I actually found it hard in the morning to talk when I was younger . So dreaming does quiet you down.
Of course the way DJ says it is is great in general, for all sorts of dreaming cases (not just re-entering the dream), I just wanted to point out how it connects to the key stuff I was talking about...
