      No specific dream sign.

      When I first started writing in my dream journal, I noticed that I didn't have any strong dream signs, like me flying or with some other special power. Now that I mention it, I've never had a dream that involved me having super abilities......which is a mood and motivation killer.

      Therefore, most of my dream signs were weak, like dreaming of my apartment, or dreaming of friends that I no longer hang out with. But now that I know my dream signs, and I "trained" myself to be more AWARE of them, they no longer appear in my dreams.

      In my latest dream entries I notice nothing repetitive or constant, the last few days I've been dreaming of completely random things, people, and locations.

      So I was wondering, how long will it take until I notice/get a new dream sign?....or will I continue to dream about random things every night?

      Lucidity continues to elude my grasp.
      Lucid dreams, gotta love em.

      Well, you just need to keep trying. Maybe if you keep you DJ for a few more months, you'll begin to see some new dreamsigns.

      Well before i used to spot my dreamsigns but now i know my dreamsigns and dream of them every night but never recognize them one (one of them being friends i no longer hang out with). So i give up on them, but i doubt it will be that long before you get a new dreamsign u probably have one now but haven't noticed it.

      hmmmm....I'm with you there. My dreams have always been very realistic (at times; others not). I can read things in my dreams and the text stays the same...my watch looks like a watch...I see myself and not someone else in the mirror. And I can't walk through walls most nights. One thing that sometimes works is to see if I've been the same person all day...and of course in some dreams I've not only been me all day far as I know but I can "remember" what I did "yesterday" and "last week", as if they were all really my past...

      Hmm,

      Apart from adding my voice to what the others have already stated, because it's very good advice, I'm gonna add another suggestion.

      Have you considered making the randomness of your dream a dreamsign of its own?

      I mean, if you are constantly dreaming of new and unknown places, people, events, without this element of repetition, then this must be in very stark contract to your waking life, no? We all have a large part of repetitiveness in our life. We go to work/school... we come back to the same home, we often see the same people, etc.

      So start working on being aware of every time you find yourself facing something new or unknown, with the hopes that habbit will extend itself to your dreams too.

      Lastly, remember though, dreamsigns really aren't necessary to have lucid dreams. So don't worry if using them isn't working for you.

      Hope that helps,

      That could help. I think, though, that the reason my dreams are often realistic is because they are often quasi-psychic....eg, they come true shortly after I dream them.

      The first few times I experiences this phenomenon I did a double take...had to look at my dream journal to make sure that I really had in fact had a dream about the events I perceived to be coming true. Doesn't happen all the time, but it's happened increasingly more as the days go by.

      Yea, I started doing this yesterday....even though I'm still not sure how to "make" something my dream sign, other then just being "aware" of it.

      I kinda started telling myself that if I ever find myself somewhere that I've never been before, then I must be dreaming.......is this to proper way to make something your dream sign?

      And this morning I couldn't recall anything....therefore my DJ is blank for today.

      Hey there,

      You're right, 'making it a dreamsign' might have been poorly chosen words. Like you yourself said though, the thing is being aware of it, and designating it 'dreamsign'. Awareness is the most important step anyways.

      Additionally, you could use this to do reality checks in waking life. Every time you encounter something completely new or unknown, or something that has an element of randomness in it, ask yourself if you're dreaming.

      The idea of a dreamsign is to have something which by its appearance identifies this situation to you as a dream. So if your dreams are completely random, this randomness could be a defining element of them. Somewhat harder to work with then a lightswitch not working, but the concept remains the same
