How to recognize Dream Signs?

**troy123** · 07-09-2010 08:32 PM

Well I finally found a good dream sign.

Almost every night I have at least 1 dream of being in my old school.. even though I graduated 2 weeks ago and never have to step foot in it again.

LAst night, I had 4 dreams that took place in my old school.. but never once did I think it was a dream.

How do I train myself to realize that if I'm in my school.. its a dream

any tips?
thanks

Dream signs are useless unless you're aware enough to recognize that they're dream signs!
Every time you see one in real life, tell yourself that you could be dreaming. Stop whatever you're doing and look around, reality checking as you do, until you can confirm to yourself that you're still awake.

Your old school could definitely be a dream sign. Every time you see a picture of your old school, or the likes, do a reality check and really stop and think. Don't just make it a habit, because then you'll do reality checks mindlessly and without awareness.

RCing whenever you think of your old school, so then you RC when you get into a dream, of course, just make sure to question reality while RCing. Telling yourself that old school = dream could help, too.

You don't necessarily have to see it; even just thinking about it can work.

Alright I will try that

What are good reality checks to do?

There's quite a few reality checks you can do, I'll just list some.

1. Plug your nose and try breathing through it. In a dream, you'll still be able to breathe as if nothing's plugging your nose.
2. Look at your hand and count how many fingers you have. Usually in dreams, fingers can be smaller or some can even be missing.
3. Try pressing your finger through your hand. In a dream, if you push hard enough, it will go right through without you feeling anything.

There's also a reality check that involves looking into a mirror and seeing if you look different. I have to warn you, though, that this does frighten some people because they can end up looking very different and even scary. Or, you can look exactly the same, so it's not as reliable as the previous three.
