Increase my chance of encountering a dreamsign?

Last night, I realized one of my dreamsigns is seeing waves that are bigger than usual, anywhere from 10 to 500 feet high. This is great, however this only happens when I'm near a large body of water in my dream.

My idea is to help make my dream involve a body of water in hope of then seeing my dreamsign and becoming lucid. I thought of playing an mp3 of waves hitting a beach while I'm sleeping and visualizing the setting for my dream beforehand. Will this work? And are there any other things I could do?

If you're familiar with the MILD tech, you could imagine yourself becoming lucid near the water as you're falling asleep. If that doesn't work, you should work on overall awareness and reality checks.

You don't necessarily need dream signs to become lucid. Like Elucive said, try working on overall awareness so even if you don't see a dream sign, you can become lucid. That way you don't have to MILD and try to get your dream sign into the dream.

Sounds like a good plan, to me. Try to incubate a dream where you are witnessing your dream sign and reality checking because of it. This is pretty much what MILD is all about.
