Dream Signs

I am having very much trouble with dream signs. I don't know what they are and I don't know how to notice them. I've been recording my dreams for about a month but nothing pops out.

Ok, dream signs can consist of anything as long as they are a repeating sign in your dreams. Say you always had dream in which you were in Australia, Australia would be your dream sign, then once you have identified a dream sign by studying your dreams in your dream journal you have to make it clear in your mind that whenever you are next in Australia you must be dreaming, it is obvious unless you are actually going to Australia lol, but its an example, make it clear that your sign is out of the ordinary and use it as a sign to help you question reality and become lucid.

Dream signs are anything that tends to occur in your dreams, generally things that don't happen so much in your real life. Some common dream signs that many people experience are:

Flying/levitating

Water (pools, ocean, swamp, flooding)

Magic abilities

Seeing old friends or people who are dead in real life

Fear, being chased, monsters

Being AT a physical Dreamviews

Being at school and can't remember things like locker combo, what class is next, etc...

Talking animals

Spending time with famous people

Playing a role you don't in real life (ninja, superstar, different age/gender, etc...)

Teeth cracking and/or falling out

Hey there,

As you can see from the above two responses, exactly what one person considers 'dreams signs' isn't always a 100% the same as what another considers a 'dream sign'.

Remember though that the idea about dream signs is that it supposed to be something that will help you recognise that you are dreaming. Therefor, I would advise you to look for the following in your dreams:

a) Recurring elements
b) That do not happen often (or easily) in your waking life

The first bit, the recurring part, is that so you can train yourself to come to recognise your dreamsign. Although dreaming that you are in a UFO might be a great dreamsign... if you only ever had one such dream, it'd be hard to train yourself to recognise it, as it's not likely to come back. That's why you want it to be something that appears in your dreams often.

The second part, ofcourse, is that so you can recognise you're dreaming. This doesn't have to be a fantastic thing. obviously, if you dream you're riding the Monster of Loch Ness every night, that'd be a dream sign. But just the same, dreaming of your the dog that you loved when you were five years old but is now regrettable passed away would be a good dreamsign too. The idea here is that you chose dreamsigns that obviously stand out from your waking life, so they'd be like clues for you that you were dreaming. Dreaming about your work, for instance, would not fall in that category.

So grab your dream journal, and look back over your dreams for recurring elements that happen in your dream only, and not in waking life, and I'm sure you'll be able to find some soon enough. Then you can begin the process of training yourself to react and recognise them.

Well, that's my interpretation of what dreamsigns are, hope it helps!

Hiya.

Very much going with what has already been said but just to give you another possibility. You could try entering Lucidity with an intentional trigger. It has to be something easy mine for example is a colour. As I start to go to sleep I repeat to my self "The trigger is (insert colour here).) Your natural reaction to an instruction that crosses from wakefullness to sleep is to obey so you will automatically become lucid. This technique is really useful for controlling your dream although I have only managed to do so once. But man it was cool.

:cool:
