      Stress & Excitement as DreamSigns?

      What I've come to notice is that another clear difference between experiencing Waking Reality and experiencing Dreaming Reality is that, usually, There generally is a higher frequency of Stressfull and Exciting situations in Dreaming Reality.

      Even if we dream about plain things, such as being at school in the classroom, being at home on the coutch talking with a friend... These experiences are still percieved alot more exciting/Stressfull/Impressive/Pronounced in Dreaming Reality than in Waking Reality. It is because of the general surrealistic wierdness of Dreams where we percieve & experience in altered, unusual ways. I don't know about your Dreams people, but I can not remember a single Dream I had that was dull and had no element of excitement/emotional value to it.

      Maybe you can use Stress/Excitement as a Dreamsign. Whenever you experience significant Stress or Excitement you do an RC?

      To be a little more concrete...

      RC when:
      -You're being chased
      -You're stressing to get somewhere in time
      -You're being opressed/offended by others
      -You're having intensely Romantic/Sexual/Sensual moments(Yes an RC can be done without hindering )
      -Your enviroment is overly "impressive" (Fun Fair/themepark, huge mall, huge school..etc)
      -etc....

      Yep - the emotional extremes are completely atypical of my waking life, yet routine in dreams. My problem is that I don't experience them enough in waking life to get into the habit of RCing them.

      I need to create a few crises to practice on.

      I think that this is part of "What a lucid feels like." Many people seem to be able to figure out that it's a dream just by the general atmosphere. I think this may be one of the biggest factors if not the largest.
