A few days of dreaming...

So I've been practicing lucid dreaming starting with dream recall for a few days now. I've noticed that after asking myself all day "Am I dreaming?" that I'm remembering the same amount of dreams I used to remember in a year in one night.

But, I have yet to find any dream symbols. Also, when I think a lot about dreaming while awake those thoughts carry over when I sleep and I usually distinguish I'm in a dream.

I'm not looking to be adopted yet, but does anyone have any tips on lucid dreaming what-so-ever for me in this situation?

I think the greatest tool we have at our disposal to discover Lucid Dreaming is TIME. If we expect results without participating with the research and commitment, we will end up falling on our feet at the first step (like I do all the time with life and dreaming).

I’m not an expert on Lucid Dreaming, but it looks like you made the first step of realising your in a dream, just takes time to realise the next step. The next step will come naturally with time; if you focus on recall like you have been doing for a few more weeks. Keep asking yourself “Am I Dreaming?” and relate it to something in your waking hours (e.g. Do a reality check when you ask yourself that question and focus on an item that might be strange or unusual). Attach meaning to Dream Signs, for example, if you see things in your dream (from reading your journal) that reoccur over and over (e.g. Arguing with a Friend, Walking in a Forrest) try and ask yourself those question when in that situation, “Am I Dreaming”? Then try and work out if you are asleep or awake.

Thanks. I'll do that. :D
