Okay, so it's been years since I had an LD and I just started trying to pick it up again about 3 weeks ago by starting a dream journal and trying to spot my dream signs. So far I've found that my mom is in every other dream I have. My question is, does my dreamsign have to be out of the ordinary in order for it to trigger consciousness in my dream? Because I obviously see my mom every day. So it's not really out of the ordinary when she's in my dream.

I also haven't really spotted any consistent dream signs. This is the only consistent one.
Thanks.
