Need advice on Drean Sign

**Sn0wy** · 07-04-2012 08:22 PM

I have recently discovered a pattern of behavior in my dreams that I may be able to use as a dream sign. This behavior is....Kleptomania. I steal in almost all of my dreams. How exactly do I use this to my advantage? What exactly do I DO with my dream sign?

heh, that's a new one. I don't think you can use kleptomania, because in order to do RC in your dream, you must RC on your dream sign in waking life. But if you steel in a dream at the same place - like at the strore, then you can use store as your dream sign.

So every time you in a store IWL, you do RC and pretty soon you will start RCing in your dreams. That's how dream signs work. You find one that is both in your dreams and IWL and you do RCs on it IWL.

You could also do RCs IWL at random times, every time the thought pops in your mind that you could be in a dream. You ask yourself "wow, is this a dream?". You look around and notice details and really think about if it could be a dream. Put some emotion in it. Do some RCs. (See about RCs, mantra, looking at hands in this tutorial.) When you satisfied that it's WL, you say your mantra while looking at your hands. Happy dreams

Well, the thing about this whole stealing thing is that I don't steal in real life...So it's completely out there. There has got to be a way to utilize that. It would never happen to me in real life. So it's an impossible situation for me. There has got to be a way to make my mind realize that when I'm stealing something in the dream, I must be dreaming.

I guess I'm really just going out on a limb here. I really want to find a dream sign, but so far nothing else connects like the stealing does. It's the only reoccurring thing in my dreams so far.

Steal your own stuff. When you're in your room pick things up and stick them in your pocket, and do a couple of RCs.

Or when you're at a store or something look around and think about stealing stuff - what you would steal and how. Hmm.. could be a bad idea, as it could lead to the actual behavior, plus you might not want to be doing RCs in public places where it might look weird.

For something to be a good dream sign, it should be both in WL and in your dream. And I assumed you not a thief IWL, that's why I said you probably can't use that. But you could use the place where you do your deeds in a dream, like a store.

Look through your DJ to find some other recurring things. It may take you a while to find your dreams sign, if you just started with writing your dreams down.

I was going to say what Darkmatters said, 'borrow' stuff while awake (i.e. steal it and give it back as soon as 30 minutes later) while RCing.

I have the same problem, recurring themes in my dreams seem to be fighting and bungee ropes, and neither come up IWL very often.

Same here. I had various possible dream signs in the first couple of weeks in which i couldn't utilize IWL. References to the number three, the color red (there are so many items in my house that are red I'd wind up doing RCs every two minutes), and dreams about the show Battlestar Galactica. The only other recurring theme is I have alot of dreams that take place in my house. The only thing I have been able to do are awareness RCs.

Not heard that before, please explain.

Maybe I got the wrong name for it. i do my typical awareness exercise, where I question if I 'm dreaming, closely observe my surroundings , and do my RCs. I hope I got it right that time.

Actually I just got the correct name. It's the Awareness +RC Technique. Hope that helps.

Ah ok, yeah that's what I do as well, didn't realise that's what it was called, thanks
