#1. Cell phone malfunctioning! This is a great dream sign for me and it's made me go lucid several times.
#2. Being in school again. I can't even count the number of these dreams I've had. It's almost always a negative feeling, like I didn't study enough, or I'm failing a class. Unfortunately it's never made me lucid!
A video game, I'm in one. has ranged from MMORPG's to simple flash games to FPS. I realized this was my sign recently but so far haven't used it to attain lucidity.
Feeling blurry/greyness. I don't really know how to explain it. I don't dream in black and white, but everything seems slightly blurry and grey in my dreams.
I just realized this today, but exploring. Especially a maze like area. Usually not a deliberate maze, but a network halls and rooms of some building, like a school or offices, etc. And though I might be lost, I love both mazes AND exploring, so these dreams are always very fun.
Well, based on my recent dreams, it seems that fear and recently work are both dreamsigns. Unfortunately, work is possibly a temporary dreamsign and as for fear, it's pretty hard to RC to that since being careful in RL is my speciality :P
Flying. I automatically realize I'm dreaming if I begin to or start a dream by flying
My family, particularly my mum, dad and sister behaving uncharacteristically. For my mum, this will mean that she is being nasty, loud, bold, talking about something odd like how she has realised she is a lesbian. For my sister, she will talk about topics she would normally avoid and be quite confident.
Other dream signs are train stations and feeling anxious around them - getting on trains without a ticket and feeling nervous. Related to this is a fear of being caught seemingly committing a crime.
Cars going out of control with me inside, sometimes driving them.
And an odd one - chocolate bars. Reading back through my dream journal, chocolate bars are mentioned a lot! And one of my only recurring dreams is being pregnant (I'm a guy) and a flap opens in my stomach and chocolate bars come out :/
Ooh, and another is my grandparents moving around with much more agility than they are currently capable of/looking younger, like how they were around fifteen years ago. They will often flit back to being their current elderly, frail selves.
Mine seems to be the same.Quote:

I usually end up exploring said area, and 50% of the time it's a maze to me.
Like the dream I had recently at the amusement park. It was like a huge maze and I had to explore it. I'm always exploring areas in my dream, maze or not :D
I think I may use this thread to ask how I can ID a dream sign. I've have gone through my DJ's mostly for enjoiment, but I have never been able to definitively hone in on a dream sign that I could do an RC against
Yes, there are ways I should know I'm dreaming, like I'm a wizard, or something fantasy like, but how do I do an RC to something that's fantasy. The only thing I can think of is that my GF is in a few. Seems once a week I at least have one dream with her in it, so should I RC when I see her in waking life? My brother seems to be in one at least once a week as well
Otherwise, it's friends, or DC's which are my "friends"
Maybe there's a tutorial I've missed about DS's. Seems everyone has something easy like water, or someone they see every day, or birds. But anything I could use is more abstract and not something I see in waking life, so can't RC against it, lol
So far... (In my first week of trying this..)
1. Bathrooms (3/7 dreams involved me here)
2. Family / Relatives (4/7 dreams involved them)
My most common dream signs are as follow:
1. Light switches that don't work(usually get's me lucid right away but it didn't happen for quite some time. I never dream of night. well not in my non-lucids)
2. End of the world scenarios, other freaky things like zombies and killing them with kitchen knifes, dinosaurs, being able to see what other people do from a 3'rd person point of view(unfortunately I've grown accustomed to these kind of things so nothing so far)
3. Being with friends i can't see atm , going to parties in places that don't exist,beeing followed by a dog/having an eye bit out(again , no success with these either)
4. Family acting unusually(sometimes it triggers a little voice saying " Hey, your sister is a pain in the ass->lucid)
That'll be about all. Hope a dog doesn't chase you home while being hunted by some zombies you know xD
I'm very new to this, and I'm having doubts about myself because I swear I have ADD. But from the big dreams I remember, 3rd person viewing is big in my dreams. I'll see myself doing what ever task I'm doing. And one thing that happens in pretty much every dream, is I'll be playing life, like it's a video game. I'll be controlling myself from like a gameboy or some other game controller.
One that I realized after I looked back on my past dreams is being in/at/around school, although the school itself is alot different, nothing like my real school, it's actually really interesting, I realize it's my school, I think it's my school, but upon waking and looking back on the dream, I realize it wasn't anything like my real school. Unfortunately I never become lucid in any of these dreams, maybe when school starts back up again, I'll do a ton of reality checks in school, so if I have another dream like this I'll become lucid.
My room, ferret, werewolf, dog, old classmates and a charming man.
The only one that I know of is Toph from Avatar: The Last Airbender. She's in like 8/10 of the dreams that I can remember, yesterday when I saw her in my dream I became lucid, I hope she's in my dreams tonight and hopefully I become lucid when I see her.
I once saw my cat that died like a year ago in my dream and i instantly new that i was dreaming.

An Oneironaut is a concept that describes people who explore the dreamworld through Lucid Dreaming, recalling dreams or investigating physical/psychological signs of the dream process.Quote:

Same here. The weird thing is that I hardly play any games at all. The last time that I played an actual video game was over a year ago. But somehow when I'm dreaming I am in a game pretty often. Mostly they are huge, epic, RPG like battles. I've been in a war-style FPS too a few times.Quote:

lol so far the only dream sign i've found is my friend ben he is in almost all of my dreams 0.o i know creepy and i looked up on a drema dictionary that if you see your best friend dying in your dream (he is usually in danger) that means you too are drifting apart and losing and its kinda true so i learned that form my dreams so im trying to be more friendly to him and stuff
one dream sign i have is that my legs get heavy, i can still move them but i cant walk and if i try to crawl my legs weigh me down a lot almost like they are stuck in quicksand
usually it takes place in New York, where I used to live
and sometimes, in my old house
and for some reason, I see lots of elevators in my dreams as well
1. I'm usually in a mall, school, or hospital.
2. Sometime within the dream I somehow lose my pants and no one cares.
