Discovered my dream sign, now what?

[hellohihello]

I discovered my dream sign, it's school friends. ( I am home-schooled because of inner ear problem that makes me sick and all I want to do is go back to school so this sort of makes sense ) How can I train myself to tell me I am dreaming from here? I searched but nothing came up. Search buttons and I don't mix

So do you not see these school friends very often? If not then whenever you see them (in real life) do a reality check, and whenever you think of them do a reality check. This should help with performing reality checks in your dreams when you see them.

I'd get pictures of these people, put them on as your screensaver. If you have pictures of them in your room, awesome. Make them conspicuous, and maybe move them around every so often. Leave slips of paper around your room/house that say their names, or maybe just "friend". Every time you hear one of their names, every single time you think of these people, stop everything that you are doing and RC. Keep this up and I think you'll get lucid quickly. Once you've determined a consistent dream sign it's pretty easy to train yourself to become aware of them
