What if your totem is a 2 headed coin for example. If you flip it in the air it would come down in your waking life right? Well, usually when I throw an object up in my dreams they keep floating. So wouldn't that work in my dreams too as my totem to tell if I'm dreaming? |

yeah pretty much but lol i lost my "dream totem" so i'm just gonna keep reading EWLD |

I just watched Inception last night and was thinking about this too. Last night I had a multilevel dream, where the last level was me laying in bed thinking about my dream. I felt kind of weird and then realized that I was still dreaming when I noticed my vision was blurred and my window was farther to the right then it is in real life. Then I woke up facing the other direction. That would have been I much less confusing dream if I had a totem to check with. |

I watched Inception last night. Aren't totems used to make sure it's your dream instead of someone elses, but not as a reality check? |
|
I will try this dream totem idea, ive seen inception and its about time that they put out another conscious and or dreaming movie. |

I have been thinking the exact same thing as you, but with a different totem. The thing to understand is this. If you use a totem, it will do nothing that it does in Inception. But it can be used as a lucid dream induction method as easy as any other reality check, just as long as you know how to use it and it's effective for you. I have recently started trying to motivate myself to use my totem for my reality check, but in all honesty, the fact that it is just in my pocket to remind me is more influential that it being different in the dream, ie: floating and glowing. |

Build your life. Build your dreams. Build the world.
inception was cool. I plan on just painting a coin tho and spinning it. |

The idea of using a totem as a reality check was discussed recently in this thread http://www.dreamviews.com/f11/using-...minder-121400/ |

I think I know I mean a yes
