I have been recording my dreams off and on (mainly on) for 6 months. I have probably about 50 day entries and been searching for DS. In truth, I cannot seem to find any repetitive dream signs in any of my dreams. The closest thing to a dream sign I can find is my car wrecked which has happened 3 times (one doesnt really count it was slightly scratched). Anyone else have this problem and how do you correct it?
don’t rely on repetetive dreamsigns if you don’t have them. If you do on the otherhand, it really can help you out, but otherwise just don’t even bother stressing yourself to find them. Instead…try to find out how to recognize ANY dream sign. You can do that by performing RCs during the day IRL whenever you see something strange or feel too emotional.
Dreamsigns can simply be dreaming about people who you rarely see in real life, or objects that seem to appear a lot in your dreams that you don’t necessarily use in RL.
Also, finding yourself in odd, awkward or bizarre situations can be used as a dreamsign. S. LaBerge defined a number of areas in which we can categorise dreamsigns:
- Thoughts (odd or unusual thoughts & sensations)
- Actions (unusual or impossible actions)
- Forms (unusual or odd form, both ego & object)
- Context (bizarre place or situation)
Thx for tip Snape, I’ll look for stuff like that in my DJ. Now that Im accounting my dreams online I can actually read my journel and also put a lot more detail in it. Just last night I ate dinner with my dead aunt casualy and even talked to her without realizing she was dead. Guess this could be a DS cause its happened more than once.
Since I felt that this was a topic for Dream signs, i didn’t know if i should make a new one, so anyway, I notice a lot of dreamsigns that i have outside of the dream, but inside of the dream, i don’t notice them. Examples of these are: Driving in a car (can’t drive yet), and Different Buildings (they look different then they do in real life…really different).
Should i not bother if i don’t notice it?
Madshadow, the way I understand it is you must do more than just recognize the dreamsigns. What you have to do is program your mind to do a reality check the next time you are driving. If you say “o, i drive in dreams but cant in real life, it must be a dreamsign” you are not doing much besides recognizing it. What you have to do is tell yourself, make yourself, consider it a priority and say “the next time im driving, I will do a reality check because I must be dreaming”. It is important to program your head, because if you do, you will do a RC the next time it occurs.
Tonight I dreamed 4 of my teeth fell out with 2 kinds of braces on them and I dont have braces. I also dreamed I was at a friends place who is on vacation in spain. I actually wanted me to dream that during the day so I had to notice it was a dream but I didn’t.
Also driving a huge mobile garden through a thin alley filled with breakable stuff just to see that it was a dead end. When I was back at my home with some of the broken stuff from the alley mr. bean came to see if I had broken all the stuff.
Could have noticed it
