Thread: Never anything "abnormal" in my dreams

Do you have a dream-journal? Even if nothing unusual happens, there can still be dreamsigns, like a small girl walking up to you, asking you stuff. Or maybe, you often see pink cars in your dreams? Not abnormal, but still a bit weird. Start a dream-journal, max out your recall, then read through it and mark all the dream-signs. Since your dreams are normal, you should also experience your dream-signs during the day, so everytime they happen, do a reality-check.

yeah i thought i had the same problem too, whenever i see an electronic device in dreams for some reason it always works perfectly1 well almost perfectly...but recently i have stumbled across the fact that every dream of mine is tied to a relative or friends...so even if nothing happens in your dreams there is still things that every dream has in common...

Right, like so many people constantly dreaming about school.

I read somewhere that most people usually have normal, boring dreams.

First of all, in my personal experience, lucid dreams are actually likelier to occur when my dreams aren't too absurd for some reason.

And second... (skip this part if you're not interested in me reciting EWLD while I should be trying to have my own lucid dreams or something).

Dreamsigns aren't necessarily things like pink hippos fighting eachother in cookie-shaped UFO's. In Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming, they are categorized by four different kinds:
- "inner", meaning you experience strange/unusual emotions (compared to the ones you'd normally experience in your situation in the dream).
- "action", meaning you, or something else in the dream did something impossible or practically impossible.
- "form", meaning something changed shape or is constantly changing shape. Or maybe something doesn't like like it's supposed to (when I say something I may also be referring to DCs or to yourself).
- "context", meaning you are in a place you'd never normally be at, or people from your school are at your uncle's birthday or whatever.

There are bound to be things in your dreams that fit into one of these categories. Be sure to keep a dreamjournal. If nothing in it is out of the ordinary, try recording every single detail you can think of from your next dream(s). Count which category you encounter most in your dreams and after ten dreams or so, you'll know what to look for.
