Thread: i need some help into becoming lucid

Welcome

I'm glad you stopped by. Hmmm... first steps first, lets work on the dream recall thing.

Do you wake up often during the night? If so, take a little time each time you wake up and try to remember what you were dreaming about. Really put an effort into it. You probably won't remember anything if you wait until morning to try. Also, I encourage you to keep a dream journal next to your bed. Write down everything you remember.
You will find that in time you will remember more and more.

Now, if you do not wake up, you might consider setting an alarm for different times during the night (but not until you have slept for 3-4 hours first)
When the alarm wakes you, try to remember.

I am sure you will succeed! Everyone does after a while.

Also, while you are trying to improve recall, try to find a copy of the book "Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming" by Stephen LaBerge.

Paperdoll calls it the "Bible of Lucid Dreaming".

I have started a Dream Journal. I am having good results for the first night i have about one page on my dream. Ialso woke up 4 times that night and i remembered my dream 2 times but i moved to get my journal an i forgot it. the 3 time i woke up i at least got it on paper. to fourth time i woke up my mom kept talking to me so i forgot that one. But can someone tell me what a dreamsign is.


I would also like to say thanks to seeker for telling me to start my dream journal.

alright. a dream sign is something that u do alot in ur dream. like for instance, i do alot of matrix related things in my dreams. i'm almost possitive that that's a dream sign, if someone could add some more i'd like to know 2...

"Dream signs are quite simply cues that you are dreaming. Dream signs often take the form of things or events that would be considered impossible or highly improbable in the waking world. Some examples of dream signs are breathing under water or flying among the clouds. For those of us who generally have "more realistic" dreams, the cues may take the form of something much more simpler, such as a light switch not working (device failure), suddenly returning to work at an old job, being late (very common), losing the ability to scream, showing up at school naked, etc. Another common dream sign (and one I personally have) is the inability to run--you find your legs won't move easily and you can only lurch forward quite awkwardly.


Strangely enough, if we are not intently looking for dream signs during sleep, we will accept everything--no matter how strange--as we would during the waking hours. If you suddenly found yourself in amazingly strange surroundings like in the above image, it may not occur to you to wonder how this is possible. Or, if you wake up one morning and find your gold fish has taken your car out for a joy ride around town, you probably won't at all find that strange. Rather, you may call the cellular phone in the car and ask your gold fish to bring the car back. Quite obviously, if you were allowed to think analytically in your dreams, the absurdness of this situation would be quite apparent to you; situations like this are dream signs. Quite to the contrary though, we tend to go with the flow in our dreams. Whatever happens, happens; we usually just go along for the ride.

Personal dream signs are dream signs that frequent your own dreams. You may find you often "wake up" without any hair, when the day before it was down to your shoulders; or, you often run out of gas on your way to write a final exam. To determine some of your personal dream signs, you need to actively keep a dream journal. After a number of entries have been entered, you should go through and make a list of the reoccurring dream signs. Your personal dream signs, as well as your ability to spot new dream signs, will aid you in inducing lucid dreams."

To boil it down, a Dreamsign is something a theme/object/person/etc that appears in your dreams alot, and can be used as a way of becoming aware that you are dreaming (Lucid).

i also belive that a specific feeling/emotion/or idea could be used what do u think

Dreamsigns are extremely difficult to associate with reality checks. The most bizzare thing seems in place...
Maybe I'm just working on too many dreamsigns at the same time....
