Hey, i've been analysing some of the stuff that keeps poppin up in my dreams, now last night i had some interesting dreams, i'll share the dreams and then tell you what i'm interested in, ok these are in random order.

I was at school and i was hungry so i left school to go to the shops, we are not aloud out of school but i went anyway, when i arrived at the shop i saw a guy stood at the door, he looked a bit dodgy asthough he was waiting for someone, i assumed he was working with school and making sure no kids are out of school, but i thought he was too young to be working for the school so i continued to the shop, i was just about to go into the door and then he stopped me and reached for my pocket and asked me if i had id, i suddenly knew he was working for school so i paused for a second and then ran really fast, i ran and managed to get back to school which looked different, there were teachers there waiting and looking for kids off site, i managed to sneak by, i was sweating and though it wasn't a lucid dream it felt really vivid and real, i walked in and started to panic, some more stuff happened but i cannot remember, heres the next one i remember. I was on a road with my mate johnny, he had a pack of cigs and i said "can i have on" and he said ok, so i got one, he lit it and then i suddenly appeared in my house, i sucked in and kept it in my mouth without inhaling it, i did it like a cigar, i then breathed it out and took another suck, it went right in, it wasn't so bad and i exhaled it out, it felt bad when it was in my mouth, it felt asthough my mouth was on fire, i then continued and i felt on a high when exhaling it, i sat on my bed a bit dizzy feeling really relaxed, i kept smoking until i smoked the wrong end and it suddenly awoke me, i then got worried that i was getting ash on the floor so i moved o the window and i'd only smoked a tiny part of the cigarette, i then put it out and went downstairs, i saw this guy from school called jack and asked him if my breath stunk of smoke because my parents were only in the other room, he seemed surprised that i had smoked. I then walked off. Ok here's the next dream, i was somewhere, can't remember where but i had my nintendo ds with me and then the screen started looking dodgy, i got worried and marks began to appear and then i saw aload of air bubbles in the plastic, so i thought it was just a cover that came with it so i peeled the cover off which then began to peel off the entire screen leaving just the plastic, i then put it back on. Thats all i can remember for now, theres more than this i know for sure but i can't remember right now.

Ok, now you know what my dreams were last night i can go into detail on what i'm on about, now for a start i could maybe recognise my dreams by knowing what has happened in recent events because my dreams are usually based on recent events but i can't predict what the dream will be about, for example i had a cigarette in the dream, i made a thread recently on this forum about having my first cigar and what it would be like etc, i learnt that you get the cigar smoke taste in your mouth and not inhale it which shows that i used this in my dream but i was smoking a cigarette not a cigar so i then realised that i had to inhale it because it wasn't a cigar. It shows that i remember some aspects of things in waking life in the dream, now this theory is difficult to pursue because i cannot predict what recent events i will dream about and prepare for them. Another thing i noticed, if anyone has read my dream journal, i have had about 3 dreams previously in which my nintendo ds has broken which is really weird, IRL i sometimes worry that it may break because its a fragile piece of technology but i don't worry nonstop, but i've now had 4 dreams in which it has broken, i would use it as a dreamsign but its not been frequent enough to predict when i will next have a dream with it in.

What can i do to find and pursue my dreamsign? I think this would help alot in my lucid dreams, thanks alot and i hope the above made some sort of sense lol!

Hi, I think U should induce the dreamsign right before bed and during WBTB. If U want to use Ur broken Nintendo gameboy as a dreamsign...U could play around with it for ?(U'll have to experiment) time. Look at it think of how it looked in the dream being broken...etc. Once U have a constant dreamsign then U can incoporate reality checks with it....I prefer to do them one at a time...Dreamsign first then Reality checks. Also IMO I think it would be most helpful if U chose a dreamsign that is directly affiliated to doing reality checks. eg. A watch which is by now I think ingrained in Ur subconcious as being a reality check by itself. As for the remembering day events, that's day residue and it can be hard to prepare because usually it's the little things that get featured in the dream. I have observed however that for me if some kind of upsetting or unpleasant event happened at night near to bedtime...there is a high chance it will feature in the dream.
