My Dreams Almost Always Have A Few Gimmicks.

[SpaceGod]

When I started improving my recall, I began to notice a strange and constant thing in my dreams. 85~ish percent of the dreams that I recall have some kind of video game UI, at some point, or occasionally with quicktime events even. Which is especially odd since I don't play games with quicktime events. I don't even play many games (anymore), aside from Pokemon Moon, which is great. However, this trend was there a good bit before it came out. Another trend, which only started recently, is that my dreams tend to happen on islands more and more. However, unlike the UI's, I know the reason for this (I recently started watching One Piece). Strangely enough, these are the only things that happen consistently in my dreams, and not one of the habits I've developed (good or bad (JK I don't have any good habits IWL)) has happened in my dreams. It's pretty cool to know that my dreams have these things consistently, and there's one thing that I want to know: how can I use this to start lucid dreaming consistently?

The video game UIs and islands in your dreams represent something you associate with video game UIs and islands. What that something is, I don't know. Using the video game UIs and islands (dream signs) in your dreams to lucid dream consistently: before falling asleep, tell yourself next time you see a video game UI or an island, you will realize that you are dreaming. Then, fall asleep waiting for one of those things to appear in your dreams. Do this each time you fall asleep. Do not worry about whether you succeed or fail. Just keep doing this until you feel you do not need to anymore. Think of the dream signs in your dreams as alarms that wake you up to the fact that you are dreaming. To become lucid from these dream signs, you just have to be motivated enough during the dream to associate your dream signs with the fact that you are dreaming.

Maybe I'll ask myself what they represent when I do become lucid!
