Has anyone heard of placing a unique symbol by your bed so that you will see it in your dreams, do a RC, and know you’re lucid? If you have, would you suggest it? I believe it’s called a totem in Inception. (I need to see that movie…)
I haven’t heard of anyone doing this, but you should do it. Any idea you have to better become lucid, ACT On IT! 
Lately, I look in my mirror that is in my bedroom before I go to bed and when I get up, but you reminded me that I did want to make something like a lucid totem. I better take my own advice and ACT On IT!
I got two lucid dreams by a totem, that just doesnt work what I expected it to do, but in the other hand, I dont put much effort into LD’s since I have other things to do 
Thanks. I seem to be good at recognizing dreamsigns, (I’ve only had one LD and that’s what I used,) and if I do a reality check every time I see this, it should work. Any suggestions on where to put it?
Yes, right under your pillow.
That way you will be sure to remember it when you get into bed. And maybe keep it right next to your bed while you sleep, but remember to check it when you get out of bed and to put it back under your pillow.
Cool, thanks.
I don’t understand how this would work, tbh. If I add something in my bedroom and decide to do a RC every time I see it, then it wouldn’t work as a trigger in my dreams. In my dreams, recently added objects simply don’t appear, so they can’t act as a trigger. In my case I don’t even remember dreaming about my current bed room, it’s always my old bedroom or even the bedroom which I had as a child.
You can’t use negatives in a RC trigger, like “If I don’t see this object, then do a RC”, because you would actually be telling your brain “If I see this, then do a RC”
So you would have to make a RC trigger like “If I wake up, I need to check if the object is present of not”, which isn’t any better than simply doing a RC each time you wake up.
After reading this post, I think I just might try that myself. I’ll let you know how it works.
The idea is that you will see it other places in your dream besides your bed since you see it when you’re about to go to sleep. Therefore, you will know to do a reality check.
