 A dream sign is something that happens in your dreams over and over again. It's a recurring pattern. It can be a person, a thing, a place, an object or even a colour. But a dream sign is something that happens over and over again in your lucid dreams or in your normal dreams. By recognising these dream signs, which usually happens by writing your dreams down and then looking back at them later, you're actually able to see what you're dreaming about the most. When you recognise a dream sign, what you can do is you can actually sort of tell yourself, whenever I see this sign, this thing, whether it's a computer, a chair, a particular type of animal, whenever I see this thing, I will become lucid. And by telling that to yourself, it's almost like you're tagging the object in your mind. It's almost like you're telling your subconscious mind that when you see that dream sign, that particular object or person in your dreams, it will trigger you to become lucid and awake. It will help you become in control of the dream. So the way you do this is very simple. You need to start writing your dreams down, as we said, and every time you notice something specific, you should highlight it in the dream. So you can use any colour highlighter for this. It doesn't matter. As long as you can flick back and easily see the things you've highlighted, you need to be able to flick to any page and instantly see what your dream signs were, the techniques you used, and how they all sort of interlinked. Once you've identified your dream signs, it's important to call them out in real life. So every time you see your dream sign in waking life, let's say if it's a person, an object or even a place, every time you see that dream sign, you need to do a reality check. This will link your dream sign to the critical question and the reality check. What you're aiming for here is that if you do this enough times, if you reality check every time you, for example, see a plant or a particular colour flower, if you do a reality check every time you see this thing in real life, what will eventually happen is your mind will link that with a reality check so that when you dream about your dream sign, when you have a dream about this plant or object, whatever it is, you'll be reminded automatically to do a reality check. You'll do a reality check and you'll become lucid. It's a really simple and quite powerful way of becoming lucid and dream signs shouldn't be underestimated. They are really effective for becoming lucid and all you really need to do is identify your dream signs, link them to reality checks and then constantly practice that throughout waking life. It can be difficult. Let's say if your dream sign is something you don't see every day. Let's say if your dream sign is you constantly dream about a plane with a giant top hat. It sounds insane, right? But you're not going to see that every day, so how do you practice that? How do you do a reality check every time you see that? In the case where it's an unusual dream sign that you don't see every day, you need to actually draw the dream sign on paper physically. Once you've drawn the dream sign or found a picture of it, you can use Photoshop, you can edit this picture, just create something visual that you can see in waking life that is actually a good representation of your dream sign. So print it out or draw it. Print out several copies and stick them around your house in various places. You want to stick these things where you're going to see them, so either mirrors, door frames on the fridge, above the front door. The idea is that every time you see this thing, this unusual dream sign, you immediately do a reality check and you ask yourself if you're dreaming. And this will do the same thing. This will tie the dream sign or the object to the reality check so that eventually you'll dream about the dream sign and it will remind you to do a reality check. This will cause you to become lucid, right? So this is how you use dream signs to become lucid. It's a very simple way that you can use, but it's really effective.
