So Many Dream Signs, but no lucidity, please help!

[guitarisfun]

Check out this recollection of my dream last night, I was given so many chances but didn't catch on to any of them. Anyone have any advice for me? I am at my friend Robert's house, but it looks like my room. I am trying to show him a video of my favorite team winning a championship on youtube. No matter what key words I use in the search box, the video does not show up, though random unrelated videos do. Its a perfect clue for a reality check (device faulure), but for some reason, I fail to catch on. Later, as we are driving back to my house (we are in my old neighborhood in Florida, though I now live on the west coast) I notice that it is 4 in the morning, but it is bright outside and the sun is out. I even point it out to my friend, saying "dude, isn't it kinda weird how bright it is at 4 in the morning?"yet somehow I still do not realize I am dreaming. During the drive, I see my old friend John whom I haven't seen in maybe 3 years. I wave, then move on, not thinking of it as a big deal. 3 major dream signs, and no lucidity :-( Thanks in advance for your help

Hey, Good to hear you are recognizing your dream signs and having good dream recall. I just made a post in this section (Attaining Lucidity) that may be of help to you. Its called Sonomacoma's guide to better Reality Checks. Some of the content in there is relavent to this topic and might help you in the future. P.S.: Since you have the NHL logo as an avatar....GO SHARKS!!!

For dreamsigns to work (my experience)......1) Stick to one dreamsign that is exclusively out of the ordinary like someone who is dead appears in your dream. The more impossible the dreamsign appearing in real life the more effective 2) Priming of the mind 24/7 to look out for the dreamsign....but not try to make the dreamsign appear, wears you out like AAA batteries powering an electric car.... 3) Induce the dreamsign before bed using MILD or any emotional visual material of it. The rest is up to your subconcious to do the work..... IMJ
