Look for dreamsigns in your waking life, for they are everywhere! In waking life you will see unusual events all the time. Carry a notepad, and write them down as you see them. Tell yourself you are having a lucid dream at that moment, even though you are in waking life. This will help to create the mental environment necessary for lucid dreaming, for you will be in the habit of looking for things that are out of the ordinary.

This chart is useful for tracking your ability to notice waking life dreamsigns and keep a record of them while you develop your ability to be on the lookout for dreamsigns all the time, which will carry over to your dreaming self's awareness.

Examples:

Your boss is wearing a neon colored shirt (character form)

Your doctor's office is now done in purple and pink (setting form)

Your computer is behaving strangely (object action)

You're going to a dance club, even though you don't go very often (ego action)

List these anomalies on a chart so that you can train your mind to always be looking for dreamsigns and questioning your reality.
