If dream signs are recurring themes, then fictional characters from series I like, or other references to some game/anime ect. are one of them… a huge amount of my dreams feature them, can be anything from meeting and talking to a character to seeing a picture of them somewhere in the dream. What exact series it is changes, but it’s commonly video games or Homestuck, and sometimes the same one repeats over a period of days… (for a while I had lots of Ace Attorney-related dreams). Only a few of my dreams are completely free from those. So fictional characters in general is the biggest one, I think, especially since this has been true for most of my dreams the last years.
Also, video game worlds or themes. It can be playing a game that I haven’t played(so the dream makes it up) or doesn’t exist, or being in a world that just feels like a 3D platformer game level (with powerups, coins, platforms ect.) even if nothing about games are mentioned.
Being in places I have never been to, or that I have been once but would have no reason to be at the time. Also, when at “my house” or another place I know, it rarely is how the house actually looks like, the room is completely different.
A bunch of my dreams also switch between 1st person and 3rd person perspective at random points, but not sure if this can really be counted as a dream sign, or just something that happens to everyone.
Also, I’ve found out that being at conventions (as in anime-gaming-cosplay cons) is something that’s happened quite a few times in my dreams. Sometimes I forget part of a costume (this usually happens when the con is soon and I haven’t finished my costume) and other times I just go around and have fun.
[color=green]@ Zan and KorakieThe fiction settings and old houses from my past are pretty good signs I wish I could use more often.
Personal dream sign: seeing two moons or planets…when I was younger I would freak out when I’d see it. It was practically a nightmare, I was freaking out while others remained calm and looked at me as if I had suddenly lost my mind Now its a rare RC[/color]
My most common DS is night. Most of my dreams take place at night, but not just a normal night – it’s always a strange, something-is-about-to-happen night. Usually when I look up there are weird lights and things that look like UFO’s. The good thing is that I encounter my DS in WL every day so I usually do RC’s when I’m walking around during the night, or if I see a plane or something (haven’t seen any UFO’s yet!)
And lately, as my dream recall has been getting better, I’m noticing that the house I used to live in until 3 years ago (I lived there for like 12 years) it’s also a dreamsign. In a dream that’s always still my house, and the level of detail my mind recreates it with is simply amazing.
^ Good idea…Looking up at the sky could be a good RC. I noticed that whenever I look at the sky in an LD something is off. The color of the sky, seeing plannets, seeing people flying, futurustic flying vehicles, etc.
Well, my dreamsign I think is being chased. I had loads of dreams that had me running from someone or something. And the places I end up are always messed up somehow.
Most of my dreams are always funny, I don’t really get the sign-part
In my dream today, I had the odd feeling that I couldn’t move though, almost as if I were frozen, me and my party were attacked by a sort of grey-skinned zombies, but I woke up before they could get me (I woke up knowingly)
but I fell back to sleep and killed them in part two xD,
I’ve been recording my dreams for over a year. i went through my DJ and figured out that 100% of my dreams are never in places that I recognize.
Maybe because I never focus on my surroundings in my WL. I’m always focusing on people, how do they feel, how do they see me, how do i see them, how do i feel, etc. It’s never where am i, what am i doing, etc.
So, basically my DS is my surroundings. - Where am I? What am I doing? that’s how I can figure out if i’m dreaming or not.
My personal dreamsigns have changed a bit since I first started recording my dreams. They all relate to what I tend to surround myself with in waking life. So at first my older brother (whom I met probably everyday) was very commonly present in my dreams but then he moved abroad and now he is rarely in my dreams at all. Now my mother and little brother are the characters the keep invading my dreams.
However I have one dreamsign that is perennial throughout a lot of my dreams and that is my summerhouse and the area around it. My family has had it since I was 1 and as a kid I spent my entire summers there. IRL, for me it’s a place associated with serenity, happiness, wonderful nature and the absence of worry. I do not know if that is the reason for it’s recurrent appearances in my dreams. In them this place seems to simply act as an environment where all kind of things happen and these events are almost always never relatable to what I in waking life associate with the place.
For some weird reason, trains and trams are dreamsigns of mine. Still trying to find out if it has a meaning, since I think Dreamsigns could have meanings
Well, I dream about buses, taxis and sometimes cars. I am usually a passanger in the first two and a driver in the cars (even though I can’t do it in real life).
I also noticed that I’m at my grandparent’s house all the time and it looks exactly the same as the real house.
Until last year I would dream A LOT about floods and tsunamis, so I was pretty scared but luckly it stopped.
[color=olive] In my last tsunami dream I recall: I was hovering over the aftermath while a voice was telling me how that there were no survivors and it was all my fault because I couldn’t save anyone. My tension forced me out of that dream. It reminded me of a dark chapter I would read in a Superman comic.
