Hello, I've been reading through some posts about dream signs and how they work, but when I see people's examples of dream signs they are usually things that could not happen to them during the waking hours.

Unfortunately for me, I've noticed that all of my dreams involve my best friend in some way. Whether it just be us playing soccer together, talking late at night about some random subject, or driving in a car together, it's always him, and it's always something that happens often/could easily happen in the real world.

I need some tips as to how to do RCs for this type of Dream sign. I read the Guide to Reality Checks but I didn't see any tips about your best friend being a dream sign.

Should I just look for other, more subtle dream signs?

Also, I don't know if this is normal for a beginner, but as of now I basically am in the 3rd person when dreaming -- I see the dream go by but I feel no possibility of jumping into the dream and doing RCs. Is it just because all of my dreams are extremely realistic? Here's the dream I had last night so that you can see how "normal" it is.


I wake up in the morning. It's a Saturday; I can tell by the lack of alarm. I walk downstairs to get myself some breakfast. My mother's already down there, preparing a green pepper and cheese Omelette. Faint music is playing throughout the house, coming from the speaker system. I don't even bother getting breakfast, but instead I head outside.
It's a chilly day, Autumn most likely. I pick up my cell phone from the ground (First 'unrealistic' event) and call up my best friend, who conveniently lives down the block. He picks up after half a ring. I ask him to go to a movie. He asks which one, to which I respond "Vanilla Sky". (I've never even seen that movie) As we drive down the road we chat about how tough the year of school's been. We arrive at the movie theatre and attempt to buy tickets. The man asks us our age and we say 20, even though we're actually 16. He lets us into the movie. Fast forward a few hours.
Later that day we're at my house, in my room. I'm on my computer, he's on his. We're playing some video game, I don't know which. He mentions to me that we have school tomorrow. (Possible unrealism; logically the next day would be Sunday) I say, "Alright, let's sleep." We immediately fall asleep in our chairs. End of dream.

If you didn't bother to read all that, I don't blame you. It's very dull. My dreams are all sort of like that with a few exceptions. 9/10 dreams relate my best friend somehow, and do it with very logical sequences. There's never really any "outrageous" happenings.


Any advice, from anyone, would be greatly appreciated. Advice on a RC for my Dream Sign, advice on how to pick apart smaller details and really get into my dream rather than my body just accepting the dream as true because of the realism.

Thanks again!
