Recognizing dream signs in reality, but not in dreams?
If I see something odd or unusual in reality, I automatically think of doing a RC, however, in most dreams, I am usually in some bizarre situation with some very unusual things taking place, and I usually don’t think of doing a RC. That being said, I have had a few lucid dreams like this, but it doesn’t happen very often.
Could it be that RCing whenever you notice a dream sign is not enough? Should you be developing an overall awareness to certain dream signs so that this awareness carries into the dream eventually?
Also, as memory is mostly switched off in a dream, and you don’t really question oddities, how is your dreaming mind supposed to know when something is inconsistent with reality when you don’t have memory of reality?
Any ideas about this? Thanks for your responses. ;)
