    Hands

    I have a skin condition on my hand called eczema. If you don't know what it is, google it! It covers about half of my hand. Last night, I also performed the mantra "Next time I'm dreaming, I will look at my hands and realize I'm dreaming."

    I am outside. Suddenly, for some reason, I look down at my hands and see the eczema has spread to my whole hand. Yikes! But other than that, everything is normal, 5 fingers to each hand, etc. I run up to a DC to show them, and they say, "Wow. Sorry..."

    Why did my hands look normal? Aren't they supposed to look weird?

      Well, your hands were different. You said that your eczema covers half of your hand, but in the dream it covers the entirety. It's true that some people can look at their hands and see really, really weird differences, such as twenty fingers on one hand, or have their skin be blue, or whatever. Remember that not everything in the dream world is quite as flashy as holes going from the wrists to the finger tips.

      If I were you I would repeat the same mantra tonight (and the next night, and so on) until you look at your hands again. If, once again, your hands don't look very "off" but you notice that the eczema has either spread or even completely disappeared, then you have yourself a dream sign (a really, really good one, since it's your hands)! If that's what it is then of course you'll need to start doing reality checks anytime something is even the slightest bit unusual, or at least prepare yourself mentally to do so, that way you might become lucid in your dreams.

      It also might be worth it to post this question ("Why did my hands look normal?") on the forums and get some other ideas.
