Watching for the signs

Just starting out on my pursuit of LD. Minimal LD results thus far but have made some observations about normal dreaming. In the last few normal dreams there have been what seem to be attempts by dream figures to engage me and possibly assist me in some way. Once after I even yelled out for help. Both times I failed to pick up on the offers but will certainly make an effort to engage in the future even if I’m not lucid…if that’s possible. Advice anyone? Could be a way to become lucid. This seeming attempt at guidance from the psyche could only be helpful. I have been asking my psyche for guidance while in the waking state. This may be it’s way of answering but I’m not getting it…yet.

you could create a mantra to say before night related to the dream characters that try to make you lucid. you could say something like ‘when a dream character tries to make me lucid, i will become lucid’ or something like that. you could try to make the mantra more personal to yourself, or something easier to remember. you could also try to visualize a character at night trying to make you lucid, and imagine how you would react.
