1. put notes around that ask, "Is this a dream?" or keep a business card sized paper in your wallet


2. MotiveAider - alarm goes off to notify you to ask the question, "Am I dreaming?"


3. pick times for practicing

• While dressing in morning
• When first enter workspace in morning
• At breakfast table, (lunch or dinner)
• Before starting your car

1. carry the chart with you to remind you of when to ask the question


2. look for dreamsigns, when unusual events, objects, or changes are noticed


3. test your state:

• Do physical laws apply, or are they defied?
• Do your senses act correctly?
• Is anything out of place?
• Do you remember how you got there?
• Do you have any strange thoughts or feelings?
• Imagine you are dreaming "OK, I'm not dreaming now, but if I were, what would it be like?"
• Observe everything intently. Look for dreamsigns. How do you feel? When you experience yourself as if in a dream, tell yourself that next time you are dreaming, you will remember to recognize that you are dreaming.

Imagine doing what you intend to do in your lucid dream, fly, talk to dream characters, transform something
