Thread: dream sign troubles

ummm i suggest not just doing lots of random ass reality checks, but doin em like at specific times, for instance whenever you walk under a doorway. you walk under doors all the time in RL and while dreaming, so after ur mind gets used to RCing after that, you will RC in your dream when u walk under a doorway... hope this helps.

Although i couldn't control anything, it was pretty cool. The next couple nights i had the same experience, although a couple nights later it stopped. In actuallity I feel as if i am sitting on a fence post. On one side is checking dreamsigns in my dreams and in waking moments, and the other is just checking while i am awake. it is really frustrating when i check like all day for no results.if anyone has any ideas to "push me over the edge" I would be SOOOO happy. Thanks!!!

Doing so many reality checks won't help much. You should create a dreamsign specially for lucid dreaming and you will always recognize it and remember to reality check. A dreamsign can be created when you choose to pay special attention to something in particular as a dreamsign. It can be an object, a theme you like or a feeling you have. Just pay special attention to it in waking life and do a reality check whenever you see it or feel it. You'll have a new dreamsign complete with reality checks in your dream after some time if you keep at it.
