Hey everyone. I know there are many topics scattered around with people asking about dream signs. Unfortunately I will be adding to this pile of topics. But I think it will help me out.

So I've been actually writing down my dreams for 3 days now. I normally have average dream recall and can remember portions. The 3 dreams I wrote down all have had the same thing in them, and all in different environments: My parents and sister. (at least one parent or my sister were in each dream, sometimes both parents).

Now why would this be a dream sign for me? Well, I live at college and have been for the past 8 months. My parents are miles away and I rarely see them anymore. Therefore, them appearing in my dream must mean I'm dreaming, since they are not visually a part of my daily life, right? Sure, I talk to them on the phone every now and then, but I do not actually see them.

My question: Could my family be a dream sign? Combined with an unfimiliar environment and them being in that unfamiliar environment, I feel that I could realize it's a dream.

Any and all responses are welcome and appreciated!
