A dream sign is something that tells you that you may be dreaming. Dream signs are a doorway to lucidity. If you learn to recognize your personal dream signs, you will enjoy many lucid dreams.
Dream signs can be anything:

Common dream signs:
There are some common dream signs that you most likely have experienced in your dreams, for example:
- Breating underwater
- Running really slow
- Not being able to scream when terrified
- Not being able to hit your opponent in a fight(or just being able to hit them really soft)
- Being nude or half-naked in public. Like realizing you don´t have any pants on at school or work
Personal dream signs
Besides from all the common dream signs, you will most likely have your own personal dream signs. A personal dream sign is a dream sign that you encounter often in your dreams. One of my personal dream signs is my girlfriend, Linnea. Since I started recording my dreams she has appeared in about 20% of my dreams.
