Dreams: Another Try
I never really came up with a "plan" for lucid dreaming. I had no plan. It should be something simple, and I will need to embed it more thoroughly in my mind throughout the day tomorrow, but I'm going to try tonight, anyway...what should it be?
* to look at my hands
This seems to be one that works for many people.
Tomorrow, I must begin reality checks:
Looking at my hands
Check solidity of objects (not foolproof)
Closing one's eyes
Jumping
Reading, then looking away, then reading the same object. Does the text change?
Try to be constantly aware of myself and my surroundings.
Light Switch Check
Look in a mirror
Just look at my body - do I own the clothes I'm wearing?
Some things to notice to help trigger lucidity:
General Signs:
1. New faces & new places.
2. Conflict and frustration.
3. Things which are different, unusual, unexpected, inconsistent, or just strange.
Specific Dream Signs:
1. Living in a new home or not living alone.
2. Different job or changes at work.
3. Being in school again.
4. People from the past or from out of town.
5. Spiritual/paranormal activity or encounters.
6. Privacy issues (being naked or going to the bathroom).
7. Threatening situations: Danger, Escape, Fighting (D-E-F).
8. Travel concerns (being lost or vehicle problems).
9. Change of personal appearance or body control.
10. Being a celebrity or seeing one in person.
11. Getting intimate or seeing sexual activity.
~~~~~~~~~~
Get up in time to record any dreams. Keep eyes closed, and go through the dream before getting out of bed to ensure a good recall.
Keep a dream journal. Duh. Utilize DreamJournal.com - it keeps a list of dreamsigns for you. Pay attention to my dreamsigns. Perform reality checks when I witness a dreamsign.
