There are some very typical, shared experience dream signs that indicate you're dreaming rather than sitting wide awake. These dreams often tap into our unconscious fears, and almost all of us have had a version of these dreams at some point in our lives. Scientists have realized, however, that we do have a lot of control over our dreams, and can use techniques to guide ourselves away from dreams we'd rather not have. Think of whatever you want to dream about before bed. Let an image come into your mind that you associate with whatever it is you want to dream about. Hold that image in your mind as you are falling asleep. The physical sensation dreams are very common and can feel as if you're actually flying, falling, or running. These dreams also commonly jolt you out of your dream as you startle yourself out of sleeping. Some of the most common of these kinds of dreams are: Flying unaided. Falling, but never quite reaching an end (although, a sudden jolt in a fall can be enough to awaken you properly). Having a monster, dangerous person, or strange creature run after you or attack you. Paralysis - something terrible this way comes but you just sit or stand there because you cannot move. Alternatively, you can move but you're moving way too slowly. A fuzziness; not being able to see clearly, often accompanied by an inability to completely control your thoughts and actions. Missing body parts, with lost teeth being very common in dreams. Time doing weird things. For example a "day" that feels like it only takes a few "minutes", or when it's meant to be nine in the morning but it's dark. Sometimes, in dreams, where we are makes no sense. Do you remember how you got there? If you don't, and you don't have any mental problems, you're probably dreaming. Even if you know how you got to that particular place, you might be dreaming if you don't remember getting ready to travel there or if you don't remember waking up in the morning. Even if you're lost, can you remember how you ended up lost? Is it a hybrid of locations? For example, if you can describe it as "sort of New York but sort of Chicago", you're probably dreaming. Are you in a place that doesn't exist? (like Hogwarts or Narnia). Does the place have things which are highly unlikely or impossible? (for example, if the grass is purple or something.) Can you access other places from the place you're at that would be impossible in real life? (for example, a building in Australia that has a door which leads to London.) Are you working at a place that's not your workplace or at school or university even though it's a holiday/you've graduated/you don't attend that particular school or university? And if you are at a school or some other place for learning, are they teaching you something crazy like how to levitate?

Summary: Know the common dream signs. Be aware of common dreams with physical components. Consider the place you're at.

Gratitude is the one thing that most people who feel a low sense of self-worth lack. If you can look outside your own world, and see how good you really have it, you will feel much more like your life is worthwhile. If you don't have a terminal illness, have had something to eat today, and have a bed to sleep in tonight, materially speaking, you have it better than 70% of all the people in the whole world. Start a gratitude journal or download an app on your smart phone to regularly record all the things you are thankful for. Do this regularly to start seeing all the positives in your life. Think back on times when you felt truly alive and meaningful. Maybe you were there to support a friend going through a hard time, or maybe you made someone else feel special and loved. Recall the feelings you experienced during these moments. Notice that you have significant things happening in your life on a regular basis that point to your value. You may not have family, in this case, you must cherish the relationships you have with close friends. If you have children, a spouse, parents, siblings, or best friends you are highly fortunate. Scientists have discovered that those without rich social relationships have a 50 percent higher likelihood of premature death. Since maintaining healthy relationships with family and friends is integral to your long-term health, do what you can to strengthen these connections. Let friends and family know you appreciate them and the roles they play in your life. There is nothing that will make you feel like you are valued, needed, and essential like volunteering to help and serve others who are less fortunate than you. Help the elderly, coach at an after-school children's center, feed the homeless, help build a home for someone (Habitat for Humanity), or collect toys for orphanages at Christmas time. Volunteering allows you to: reduce stress, exercise your usefulness, strengthen your immune system, and make a difference in your community.

Summary: Cultivate a grateful heart. Notice small, yet meaningful moments in your life. Realize that being a part of your family is important. Help others.
