I don't react to my dreamsign!

[Mariano]

hey how are you? I have a very big problem, and that's it : I Don't react to my dreamsign (rubik cube). During the day, everytime I see a rubik's cube, the reaction is AUTOMATIC,so I do a very conscious reality check. When going to bed, I remember that if I see a rubik's cube I must react to it and do a RC. but...hey! I have been trying this since 45 days, I dreamed with rubik's cube 10 times...and I never RC'ed!!! could you explain me what's happening here? thanks!

I too often do not recognize my dream signs but on the rare occasion I do. Just keep RCing man... 45 days is good. You'll recognize it soon trust me. If not you might want to move on to some other methods like the WILD. Peace, - Jamal

Oh, man! I am in the same boat as you! Acouple of times someone has told me in some way taht I'm dreaming and I didn't realize it. also, lately I've been having dreams about school and I don't realize it. I guess just keeptrying and trying ande trying and trying... etc. I will become lucid in a dream tonight.

And then sometimes you realise you are dreaming after something so trivial !

I can see how focusing on only one ds and keeping it in the forefront of the mind may increase the amount of times you dream this thing. Could the dream sign possibly be so regular that you remember seeing it but deem it as nothing special? Try tricking your mind by linking a question you would not seriously be concerned with in waking life to your dream sign. Finger counting works in my mind because I only really care about having an accurate finger count while dreaming. When I'm awake I know how many fingers I have, so to count them would be unnecessary task. If I just counted my fingers every day I may begin just counting my fingers while dreaming, in the same way that I (we) play out so much of what is in the forefront of our waking minds while dreaming. I used to think of clocks, and every now and again I see a clock in my sleep and it triggers lucidity, but at one point I did it so much it just made me accept the clock. (sorry, I know I'm wordy)

It's about awareness. Every time you see one, think about why you're holding the rubik's cube, and how you got to where you are in the room. 45 days isn't that bad, just keep trying! Observe things more often and question reality without seeing a rubik's cube.
