first off im very new to this. i had no clue about lucid dreaming until about 3 days ago. I usuall remember myself having dreams everynight. but the morning before last was my first day of recording in my DJ. I had two dreams that night. I recorded extensively both that morning on my blackberrys notepad. this mornigi did the same with the three different dreams i had. So, out of the five dreams a large body of water was in each. Could this be my dream theme??? i live no where near a large body of water! Today i have counted each of my fingers as often as i thought about it. then i would lookat my hands and repeat with determination “am i dreaming”…I relaxed last night and tried to focus on counting while i fell asleep and also pictured myself levitating above my bed and spinning while in the laying postion…i woke up thinking “when in the heck did i fall asleep?!” am i on the right track???
if you feel that you are on the right track and are getting somewhere you probably are.
You are getting there! Keep it up!
Yes, the “large body of water” would probably be a dreamsign.
Good Luck!
hi j4, nice to have you with us 
You should try to put in your head that the next time you see a large body of water you’ll do a RC. Try something like, as you lie in bed, repeating in your mind “The next time I see a large body of water I will do a RC.”
You are on the right track, keep it up.
