Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

Well, so does mine


Especially around people. Especially around people I don't know.


Okay, back on topic:

This night I found myself in some underground hellish demon lair, but it wasn't very scary. Apparently I was to be part of some ritual, where I had to have sex with my mother (yeah, I need to get my brain checked) so she could give birth to the ultimate evil or something like that. After a while he was born, and grew up almost instantly, after that it gets really fuzzy, but I remember something about going up to heaven or something like that.

I worry about my mental state sometimes.

And I didn't become lucid.

Omg lol. It would have been so bad if it wasnt a dream!

oh, i was so mad at myself after i woke up from this!
after getting attacked by a wolf, i look at my arom and see this big bloody gash. It doesn't bother me. Then, these people crowd around me and start saying stuff about getting stitches. Then I freak out and say, "No! I don't need stitches! It doesn't even hurt!" ugh.

So a few nights ago, I had this dream. And I cannot believe that I didn't become lucid. It was a bit unclear, but ill try my best to describe it:

I was sitting in a room. Just an average room. There were a few object scattered around that I was familiar with. I was doing random experiments with lucid dreaming. For example, moving objects with my mind, even changing the colors of things. However, I myself was NOT LUCID. I'm almost still laughing about this whole thing. How could I have a dream about lucidy without actually becoming lucid??

Have you ever had any dreams like this, where you just can't believe that you didnt become lucid?

Many people experience things in their dream that should make it painfully obvious that they're lucid..don't worry, as you get more advanced you'll become more aware of your surroundings, especially if you're doing plentiful reality checks during the day.

I've dreamt dreams like this..I've been placed in ridiculous situations and seen crazy things, though I usually remain completely oblivious to the thought that just maybe I'm dreaming

I always have dreams in which I find some reaaallly obvious "wierdeness", but I dont become lucid. It's frustrating...

I have had many dreams where i have been levitating, flying and using
my mind to move objects and still not been lucid.
When you wake up you can feel quite annoyed with yourself lol.

I think most people have had similar experiences to what you've had. In my case, I remember a really long dream where -gulp- I was searching for dragonballs, lol. It never dawned on me that I might be dreaming, not even for a second, even after I woke up several times from the dream and it continued after I fell asleep again. Guess I was really tired(cold) and must have went to sleep thinking about db Didn't really help that I was crazy about the show after watching all eps

Last night I was dreaming that I had to defend a castle with Mulder and Scully (lol) against a 100ft child and at one point I said to them "keep an eye out while I do an RC", i got halfway through counting my fingers and they were like "quick the kids attacking again!".
Naturally i stopped RCing to defend my castle.. --__--

I had a dream where I was in my cousin's lucid dream. I had a FA

I had a dream where....

There was a ferris wheel outside

A tornado was coming towards my house

My house got blew up and it wasn't even my house

I was at my old house

That is all I can think of right now lol

Once I was writing down the dream I just had in my dream journal and the journal was all sorts of fucked up. Some pages had really beautiful patternistic drawings that seemed impossible to draw. I was at times writing off the page and it would somehow work. Like I would write something in the air above the page and it would apearas if on the page.

ANother time(and this one made me feel much stupider) I saw a bilboard that said -You are dreaming, DO a RC- I thought "hmmm, am I dreaming?" But then something distracted me and I never did a RC. I was quasi-lucid for 2 seconds but that was it. I was really mad at myself for that one.

There was this B*TCH at the supermarket in my dream, I saw her stealing our car so I quickly jumped in (THAT'S not in the spirit of me ), we were then driving down this road and off the road was this lovely, lush green grass (recurring theme), and suddenly I was in my OTHER car, somebody shouting at us something I can't really remember. I wouldn't be surprised if he was telling us to "GET OFF THE ROAD!!" because at that time I went over the median strip ON PURPOSE, just to turn into a driveway. It was raining heavily and I also had blurry vision.

In a dream I had the other day, I asked my brother if he knew that he was dreaming but didn't realise that I was dreaming myself. :p

I think the most annoying incident so far was this:

I was standing and thinking about flying because I had just watched someone else do it. I was on a platform that looked like it opened up into a cloudy, blue sky. I thought to myself "Flying is a dream concept, I must be dreaming!" I look at my hands and see that instead of hands, I'm looking at the ocean. My hands are still hand-shaped, but only dark and light swirling blue water that I know is the ocean. I tell myself "I'm dreaming!" but can't get lucid.

If you know you're dreaming, you're lucid.

A woman told me I was dreaming, and in the dream, I realized it. So i was like, "oh, cool! so i can do whatever i want?" and she replied "yes". So i hit her in the face.

But I wasn't lucid. lmao.

If you realise you're dreaming then you're Lucid. That's how it went last time I checked.

Well, thats true. But people often dream of lucid dreams. Which is much different, and really a stupid way to miss becoming lucid.

I get it now D:

All I remember was trying to kick someone in their crotch because I was really mad at them (Again! That has happened so many times in my dream. I got really mad at a DC for some reason. ) and my leg just didn't want to move at all.

a few days ago when i went straight into SP i thought when it'd stopped that i was awake, and was a bit annoyed that i didn't wake up in a lucid dream

then i got out of bed and tried to turn on my pc to talk to someone on msn, and i woke up xD

not sure if it counts as a lucid dream if you don't know you're asleep, but i was in control and it was as realistic as one
..just wish i'd gotten more out of it xD

The one that usually almost ALWAYS gets me (pisses me off so much) is the water dreams where you can remain submerged 'forever' and breathe under water. Every time it happens I feel like I've achieved something truly amazing that only I can do, and I get caught up in the excitement of breathing under water.

You'd think this was a natural 'nose-plug' type of Reality Check, but I fail often.

ha yea this has been happening to me alot lately. and its always soo obvious. like i was at a music store that i always go to and then they added a new addition that sold golf clubs and i woke up feeling like a dumb ass.

I rarely ever do RCs unless I just want to confirm what I already know, but they may have been helpful in some dreams...

I've had plenty of dreams where I'm in control but I'm not lucid. I don't know why flying and body switching aren't automatic lucids. lol

I also dream about my childhood house a lot, but that alone has never made me lucid. It should, considering it's on the other side of the country and looks completely different now.

I briefly wondered if I was awake or not, but the thought was dismissed when a friend walked inside with a fire extinguisher. He was trying to get my English teacher to buy it, and insisted that it's in good condition and will hold up. To demonstrate, he took a crowbar and banged it a few times. The metal safety pin got bent up a little bit. There was also an apple attached to the extinguisher (a vital part of it, I think). He accidentally bruised the apple, but the teacher bought it anyway.
