While you're falling asleep, repeat the same mantra you repeat when meditating. If you forget about your intention while you're falling asleep, you'll probably forget it while you're dreaming. |

So its been 5 weeks since my last short lucid dream. Each day i journal up to 4 dreams, i have great recall and lots of rem each night. I meditate daily and am mindfull all day with reality checks every half hour. Each time i meditate i say ' next time i see a (dream sign) i will reality check' |

Thanks for the reply Dolphin. My problem is that I change my mantra all the time because I dont know what mantra to say that incorporates all my dream signs. Throughout the forum i am told to creat my own mantra but this is proving very difficult |

Wow, 10 different mantras is a lot - no wonder you're having difficulties. What about choosing a more general mantra like "I know that I'm dreaming" or something along those lines? |

DILD = 34+
WILD = 3
The words of the mantra doesn't really matter. What matters is the meaning behind it-your intention. Your intention is what makes it easier to remember to do a reality check in a dream. That's because an intention is something important and the more important something is, the easier it is to remember. |

Lay down in bed well before you're going to fall asleep. |

Sure LUCID DREAMS are all fun and games until someone loses a third eye.
Well, you need to be more aware in general to recognize a dream sign Your mantra doesn't have to include your dream sign, you just need to remember to consciously check for dream signs. So one of the common mantras like "I will remember that I'm dreaming" are more likely to do the trick. |

one good thing is to look around the real world when you are outside, notice every Number / Letter / Word |

This is all fantastic and varied advice so thanks to you all. I like the idea of cross leg meditating / visualizing each dream sign before bed and then using the mantra ' next time i see a dream sign i will do a reality check'. I could then incorporate Dolphins idea of 'seeing' as a reality check. Combining all the advice given here I will try the following going forward |

Don't forget to wake back to bed |
