Workbook thread! I've already got a dream journal that I try to update pretty much every day, but I don't normally do reality checks. Just did a nose plug RC to start it off. As far as recurring elements or dream signs go, I've got....

Mall Schools: This one hasn't happened so much lately, but I can remember it happening for pretty much as long as I've been going to school. Often (it used to be practically every time) when I dream of being at school, it'll actually be a gigantic mall being used as a school, with different stores being different classrooms and etc., but with a bunch of people still just walking around, too. I can't remember a time it's ever been the same mall from one dream to the next, either, it's just always some random, crowded, intensely-designed mall.

The Jungle: This place has only started appearing in my dreams somewhat recently, and it's been a little while since I've seen it again, but it definitely appeared enough to be considered some kind of sign. Whenever I'm there there's some mystical feeling to it, something really bizarre or intense going on, or some complex story being shown in third-person that involves another area of the jungle as some special spiritual-type place. I've been lucid there twice, and the first time I just wandered around (the second time I was distracted). It has a very magical feel to it, like my full potential could be unlocked there.

The Badass Girl: This DC has appeared twice, but that's one more time than any other DC I've ever seen. The fact that I saw her more than once is pretty bizarre for me. The two times I saw her she had different haircuts, but she was wearing the same type of dark (mostly black) clothes that was sort of rave clubby mixed with normal beaten street clothes. A little hard to describe exactly, but... it looks pretty badass. She obviously has a very strong will going by her demeanor, and I suspect she may be a dream guide, or something. The first time I saw her she demonstrated amazing super speed with perfect control, and the second time I saw her she copied herself and used two bodies at once. Notably, no other DC I've ever seen has used powers, either.

Middle School/High School: Despite actually being in college but not even having taken a class at all for a year and a half, a very large number of my dreams take place in middle and high school classes.

And then of course, the shows I watch far too frequently, like How I Met Your Mother.
