Dream Tokens
Dream-Tokens are lucid dream training tools. On the front of each coin is the image of a hand, reminding you to look at your hand to confirm the fact that you are dreaming. On the back is the challenging message: "This is a dream". By carrying this coin with you every day, you will be constantly reminded to ask yourself, "Am I dreaming?" Dream-Tokens are effective tools because they not only remind you to question reality, but also teach you a simple way to confirm and reinforce your lucid state. It is a complete training tool to help you acquire the skill of lucid dreaming.
