True, I'll look through my journals again.

But I remember choosing vague dreamsigns specifically because each dream was unique and had 0 pattern.

This could either be because:
-I am just not seeing the patterns which is a possibility
-I don't have vivid enough recall (probably not, I remember at least one dream a night, each dream takes up a good 1-2 pages, I usually get sick of writing at that point, lol)
-My dreams are just too random, and do not connect to one another......I have only ever had one repeating dream and that was a nightmare when I was like 8 or 9 years old

I had an idea to consistently try to start a dream in the same location so I could recognize it, like visualize a palace before going to bed and you always start the dream off in a palace, but that is a lot of work to just get a consistent dreamsign. Honestly, most LD guides don't mention dreamsigns as that important. Which I found odd, maybe this is one of the reasons, idk.
