My most common dream signs are bathroom,lions & tigers,highschool mates(im no longer in school now)my late brother,cousins,my college mates(no longer in college),my old house,highschool & college rooms also writing exams
Same here, I dream of high school/college locations and of friends I had all the time. another dreamsign that I have is failing at a task over and over again. I have whole dreams where I just try and do a task that I feel needs to be done. But that task is never completed.
It’s funny, years later and I still see the same dream signs… I figured I would have grown a little by now!
Don’t you worry. School times is a super common dream sign for many people even well into adulthood and so are the people you hung out with at that time.
I’m also the same. When I was at university and up until about 2 years after I graduated, I dreamt more of that. But eventually the school dreams took over again. I dream of school more often than of work and I’ve entered working life almost 10 years ago. The other day I saw a video that had nothing to do with dreams but might give the explanation. It’s when we are about 14 years old that we grow up emotionally. What’s happening in our life at that time has a lasting effect. It shows in our dreams, too.
I’ve been recording my dreams now since August and trying to find patterns in them. The only one I can come up with is that they are all set in weird unknown places I have never been. Sometimes they have elements of places I have been or worked or they are messed up versions of places I know.
Can I use this as a dream sign? And am I right in pairing my reality checks with “where am I?” And thinking about the place I am in, do I know it, have I been here before, does it look normal etc and then performing an rc?
Cheers dreamers
Hello @Jonesy123100, welcome to LD4all
I am very sure that it works. It’s a dream sign that is applicable for almost everyone. Pair the “What is this place?“ question with “How did I get here?“, retracing your last steps and actions, for even greater efficiency.
The downside however is that you will not get a lot of prime opportunities to perform a dream sign related reality check in waking life, because how often do you end up in strange new places you never visited before… So I recommend you keep recording dreams and analyzing them for other/additional dream signs that could be a little more mundane.
It might be a little challenging to practice the strange places as a DS/RC trigger, but I made a post a little while ago with some ideas about how to practice recognizing unfamiliar places as dream signs in reply to someone with a similar experience.
Might not be the easiest or most practice, but it might work?
Do you play video games? Because they can be quite immersive and often have you interacting with different/unfamiliar/new environments. If you can approach video games with that mindset and remember to do a RC while immersed in a video game envirionment it might work. It would probably be more effective that looking at photographs like I mentioned above and closer simulate the mindset you’d have to have in a dream to realize your unfamiliar envirionment is because you’re dreaming (because you’re usually immersed in dreams and kinda have to take a step above the plot/action to come to the realization that you’re dreaming, like you’d have to do if you were playing a video game and stopped to question your reality.)
