Lucid Hook

When you see web texture in the dream, count the legs slowly and ask "Am I awake?" to trigger lucidity.

2–3 times

Journal details: location, emotion, who wove the web; look for a repeating thread to act on.

4+ times

Treat it as a working symbol: set a specific intention about what to weave or cut, and practice a nightly micro-ritual to alter the pattern.
