      Question about Dream Signs...

      Lets say your best friend is a dream sign.. I know you should RC every time you see them, but what if you go to their house or they come to your house... so you see them every few seconds XD do you only RC every once in a while.. ? 'Cause I think it would be kind of awkward for your friend if you just start trying to shove your finger through your hand every time you looked at them.. This is probably the most obvious question in the world but I'm an idiot XD soo yeah.
      Come on, try, give your command
      Then you'll see and understand that my heart's no longer here
      To be swayed by even tears.
      If I were to move again, everything would be in vain
      Every aspect of my life would descend into the dark

      I may have a different take on using dream signs, but I would normally think of them as something that you see often enough in your dreams, but not often in waking life. I would do the RC when you first see the person, but not if you clearly remember seeing them a few minutes before. I would make it only when they have been away from you for an hour or more. You can also be very subtle in how you do your RC. A simple mental RC is something everyone should do, that just involves seriously looking for strange things around you, like being unable to read a clock ar words, or the visual field being messed up. Just make your RC something simple like that if you are around people.

      On that note i have a dream sign that is a person but i got to "know" that it is the person because he can shape shift and manipulate dreams. I don't see him in waking life much, but do in dreams.

      Well, your friend is just one of your dream signs, so don't rely entirely on him/her. Just an occasional RC is fine, but do put emotions in it. Really consider, what if you are in a dream.

      I would also recommend RC at random times, without dream signs, so you don't miss your chance to become lucid if your sign don't show up in your dream. Happy dreams

      Therein lies my problem. In the physical world, I divide my time between two cities. My strongest dream sign is being in the "wrong" city. I haven't been able to find a way of making my dreaming mind question my location and remember where I spent the previous day. I practice RRCs but the practice hasn't moved into my dreams. Any ideas?

      Repition to the point of driving the idea into your brain is key. You do not need to keep up the repition as much after the concept takes.
      Sageous' RRC should be part of normal RCs. He was just trying to stress an aspect of RCs that many members seem to overlook, that is questioning how the hell did I get here. Make it a part of your whole mindset for about two weeks. Everytime the scene changes, like leaving a room, doing a new task or even standing up repeat a thought in your mind like this, "I know this is real, because I know how I got here" then quickly try to remember how did you get there.
      You do it hundreds of times over that two weeks, then you can lighten up and do it just a few times a day.

      Thanks, Sivason! I'm on the right track... have been doing exactly what you say for a few weeks now. I'm sure it'll eventually work.
