Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

I had a dream that I was cold, took down the drapes to use as a blanket, then went back to bed thinking, 'NOW I can have a lucid dream!'.

I woke up after that dream and could have slapped myself for missing it.. haha

haha, sounds like your dream was making a joke to me. :]

I was dreaming I was walking around a bit and suddenly people started running and screaming around. So I ask what happend. They told me the third world war had begun. So I replied: "Relax, this is just a dream. You can't get hurt. I'm dreaming, nothing will happen to you." Somehow I said this without being lucid. And all of the peope got really angry at me for not taking them serious. (Is that a good english sentence?)

Should be:

...angry at me for not taking them seriously.

Ok - this AM: I was brushing my (deceased) cat. I know i would have caught on in seconds!!! But for some crazy reason, i dreamt that my alarm went off right before my cat showed up, so after petting him for a bit (and not taking that as a cue to go LUCID!) i decided i better wake up!!! Yikes!!! How do you deal with that??? (Next time, go with the fact that I am brushing my deceased cat and screw the alarm, right? - even if i do need to wake up when the alarm really does go off!)

ps what a great thead!

Ha ha, I knew I'd be contributing to this thread soon!

I think my subconscious was having a joke with me last night - it took all my (some only tentatively considered) dreamsigns, my prospective memory-training subjects (dogs, adverts, cars) and put them all in one dream!

And then towards the end of the dream my subconscious really stuck the knife in: I went to a market, saw a stall with incense, buddha statues etc, turned round to my gf and said, "Hey, I might be able to find something here to help with my lucid dreaming."

No RC!

I hate it when I think "This can't possibly be happening. It must be fake." in a dream and still don't get that it's a dream.

Now i don't feel so stupid missing my dream sign and believing the PHONY alarm clock instead. Thanks for the good laugh!!!

I once dreamed I was running away from some mobster, and while doing so I came across an italian restaurant patio filled with rows and rows of tables that were far too clsoe together. I jumped as high as I could and cleared the entire patio. I thought, "Oh score, I'm just dreaming" and figured I'd stay in the air. At that moment a pink bunny on the floor said, "no... you're not." I believed him, fell, and woke up.

a few years ago i had a dream that i was jango fet, and i was flying around in a get pack in my room. I flew through a hole in the celing and flew around outside, but he grass was a strange blue color.

I didnt get mad then, but now i think back and get frustrated at how THAT was not apparent.

Last night I had a dream in which I washed my hands while actually paying attention to them and the sink. I can't stop thinking about the mangled mess fingers and palms my hands must've been in my dream and why I just ignored it and kept on dreaming. AHHH, frustrating...

Ok, one time a good while back, I had one of my "I have to go back and finish highschool again" dreams. However, the strange thing was that I was dressed in my work cloths I wear at my job. I was talking to someone in the hall which I worked with at the time in real life.

In a sort of strange way, she referred to what I was wearing and said, "It seems a bit odd, don't you think?" It was like she was trying to give me some kind of hint that there was something that didn't make sense about the situation.

Only after I awoke did I realize it must have been my subconsious trying to give me a clue that I was in a dream!

Just last night, I was standing in a building that could only exist in my dreams, and I had actually visited it before in my dreams. I was actually standing there, going, "I've been here before in my dreams," but it never clicked. Stupid! Stupid!

I was talking with someone about lucid dreams, and I suggested her to visit this forum...

The other morning I'd already woken up 3 times with sleep paralyisis, then in my dream i was paralysed on the floor, and when i could finally move someone asked me what just happened, and I said "oh that was just sleep paralysis, it happens to me a lot."
Then I woke up again, in SP, and wished I could move just so I could smack myself.

I was skiing down the hill and the skis began to break on both ends, so I ended up riding two maybe 40 cm long planks. I looked at them and said to myself "Why bother, I am dreaming." without actually realizing it.

In a dream last night I was literally thinking "This can't possibly happen in real life. It must be a dream!" and I still didn't become lucid.

Last night I was talking to my friend telling him I was having a lucid dream... I wasn't lucid nor did I realize it was a dream >.>

Yeah, that whole thing was non-lucid. I feel pretty dumb.

My dumbest has to be once in a FA checking my watch and deciding it couldn't possibly be a dream because it was counting away perfectly and the light seemed to work fine, which usually doesn't happen for me. It wasn't until I woke up that I realised it was the minutes part ticking away every second and not the seconds. I don't think I even got around to looking at the seconds before deciding I must've been awake

One tiime i was wlaking down a street i got shot in the hand by a rocket launcher the rocket deflects hits a giant chicken and confetti coems out i didnt think this was wierd and kept walking >.>

Truly unbelievable last night!

In EWOLD, in the dream catergories section, there's a dream example, "Madonna is in my kitchen".

Well, last night she was in mine! She was helping me put up scaffolding.

It was after WBTB too, and I didn't RC.

I've done my RC with negative outcome and said "Shame I haven't done it few moments ago, I was dreaming back then! Now I'm awake again."

But the LD wouldn't last long, my alarm gone off a while after that.
