Holla,

I've been training myself to recognize dreamsigns and mainly used three different ones:

- reading an rereading texts
- counting fingers on each hand
- jumping and trying to fly

Yet today I had a dream that showed me this is completely worthless. First I'm not stumbling over texts in my dreams very often. Today I did and I had no difficulty to read it and even from a distance the text was consistent. It seems text does not apply as a dreamsign for me.

Same with fingers. I always have five of them unless I am some different kind of creature. If I am, five fingers wouldn't make sense at all and if being a different kind of creature does not give it away, counting fingers surely won't.

About flying... I have been flying in dreams, it is like swimming in air for me, sometimes rather like in gel. That only works when I am already lucid though. I could fall off a cliff like a stone and hit the ground, which simply wakes me up. No flying though.

From my dream diary I don't get any good hints too. Everything seems pretty consistent, no matter how strange things become, yet strangeness seems no reliable giveaway itself. At least I am able to do reality checks, but what's that good for if those don't work.

What can I do?
