O.K. So I write down my dreams. Never had a problem remembering dreams and so I'm discovering that my dream signs tend to be things that I can't really do a reality check for. Clocks won't work because too often in my life clocks haven't worked right and I would just accept that. Beyond that, I'm not usually in a place where I can check a clock, or any other electrical device really. Usually I'm outside and I've found that my dream surroundings are just about always somewhere I've never been before but normal looking. I can't really keep checking to see if I'm somewhere I've never been before, or don't see how.
Then I'm usually at someone's house (in the dream I know it's their house) but it isn't what their house is in r/l. I don't know how I would perform a reality check on that effectively. I tend to dream that I'm back in school and I'm long outta there but I don't know how I'd do a reality check on that either. Sometimes ppl are working places (usually my mother) that they don't work r/l. Again, same prob. how to check in r/l to get myself into the habit? I had the "I can't scream" thing but I can't exactly walk around trying to scream all the time and besides that only happened once or twice so if I did that check in a dream I'm not sure it would be helpful. Still, I suppose if I do any check at all in the dream, that's a step in the right direction, but will it do any good if it's not something that will register it as a dream?
Sometimes the number of ppl change or they change into different ppl but I don't know how to get myself to notice it considering that I will accept it and I don't know what checks to perform during the day. So, I need help trying to figure out what sort of checks I should do during the day to form the habit or maybe there's another technique I could use.
Thanx,
