As the night goes on and my REM periods increase, my dream locations almost inevitably end up being my hometown where I grew up, despite the dream content or context. It seems odd that I can't seem to lock down a solid RC around this phenomena. For a while I was doing RCs (in waking life) based solely on location, making sure I was or was not in my hometown, but I've never been able to take that with me into the dreamworld as an effective RC.

Does any one else have a repeating, consistent dream sign or location that you are unable to latch on to and become lucid? Any suggestions on how to take advantage of this repeating dream location?
