I know how frustrating it is to have a dream where you see a dream sign and it completely bypasses your attention in the dream and you don’t become lucid.
People miss their dream signs because they aren’t drawing enough attention to them in the waking life. A simple way to draw more attention is to start LL (Lucid Living.)
Two other ways to draw more attention to them are to ask yourself if your dream signs apply to you currently when you reality check, and using a mantra. (Example, “If I see this person here, I’m dreaming.”)
