Subconscious working against me?

[landofmanytrees]

A while ago for about a week my girlfriend would appear in pretty much everyone of my dreams. She wasnt always an important character but she was usually there. When i started to notice this i decided to do a reality check everytime i saw her so i would be more likely to notice that i was dreaming when i saw her in a dream. As soon as i started doing this though she stopped appearing in my dreams as if my mind was working against me. Has this happened to anyone else?

What a bummer.

Yes... Actually just happened to me recently. In my dreams one of my school mates would always show up, so I decided that I'd try to use that to my advantage. Unfortunately, like you, I haven't seen one since.

Maybe it's because previously you had been focussing on the recurrence of your girlfriend in the dream, and as a consequence she recurred. When you put more focus into doing a reality check, the back of your mind was replaced with this new plan.

Well dream signs change with time. 1 month ago in almost every dream I had there was reference to water. Now only once in a while in a while I see any reference to it at all. I think you are just having some bad luck .
