Thread: The “Text Search” Technique - Text (Numbers & Words) In Your Dreams

I definitely like the idea - the only flaw I see in this is the fact that you have to rely on the fact that there will be text in the dream.

It's a lot like the clock reality check. Really, continuously doing any reality check consistently will do the same thing as you've said above.

If this works for you, utilize it.

I don't think of the lack of text as a flaw, I consider it a benefit. Lack of text is something that is a 98% occurence in my dreams. I treat the lack of text as a dream sign. I am trying to ingrain the idea, if I can't find any text then I am dreaming and will do a different reality check. (Nose pinch or counting fingers) Last night I had a short dream where, out of habit I looked for text. Where there should have been text (the digital clock on my cable box) there was nothing. I knew immediately that something wasn't right. But the dream ended so quickly I didn't have a chance for a follow up RC.

For me the issue with realizing I should do a RC is difficult because I have too many vague and inconsistent dream signs. This allows me to fully focus on a single item that is almost always absent in my dreams.

Do you notice text in your normal dreams?

I will keep this thread updated with the results of my experiment.
