First, I want to say hi, everybody!

Second, I have a question. I have just started my dream journal, and I'm already dismayed. The two dreams have nothing in common in terms of plot and characters. The only thing they seem to have in common is that they both take place in my kitchen.

So my question is a relatively simple one: Can rooms be dream signs, and if so, when should I do my reality checks in real life? When I enter the room, or when I am in the room? Or should I just keep dreaming and hope a better sign becomes apparent?
