Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

Ok, here's one ...

I once had a false awakening I was REALLY sick. I went to my dad and told him I can't go to school cuz i'm sick, but he said ' how are u sick when ur just dreaming '

The whole dream paused, trying to make me notice but I didn't ...

ARRGGH !! I hit myself so hard when I woke up.

So hi every one

Years ago before I knew about lucid dreaming I had a dream that I was locked in my cousins basement when I realized, "shit I'm in a dream, now I'm gonna have to wait till I wake up to get outta here" so I just sat in a chair waiting for the dream to end. If I only knew the things I could do!

to everyone on this page!

I had one this morning, I was at some place that sells gravel. I had the little grey cat named smokey with me. I was thinking why would I be standing at a place that sells gravel with the cat. I kept thinking its a dream but woke up.

Well, I was in a dream where my friends and I were playing soccer. My friend kicked the ball and it got stuck in the door handle of a house. We all ran into my house (my house which looks nothing like my house) and my friend went over, opened the door in which the ball was stuck, grabbed the ball and ran to my house. A woman came out of that house, went up to us and told us to give her back her arm (her left arm was missing) we look at some stairs at my house, and there it was, her arm, crawling towards us. She picks her arm up and attaches it to her shoulder. I thought, maybe I should do a RC, and then my friend said, "don't even bother, it obviously isn't a dream" so I didn't do a RC. When I woke up I thought, how on earth didn't I become lucid.

I hate those cunning DCs But not all of them are bad, my last LD was partially induced by my brotherDC

Recently I was running down the street. I said outloud:
"Why is it that I have so much trouble running everytime I am in a dream," but it didn't even occur to me that I was asleep. Stupid.

Something similar to this happened to me last week:
I was being held captive in some war, and a guy was pointing a gun at me deciding whether to kill me or not, I started talking non-sense with him and thought "Maybe if I keep wasting his time my dream scenario will change" however I had no idea I was dreaming lol, it was weird

Heh. Makes me wonder if all these RCs during the day will even help me with DILD.

Yeah, I prefer to couple them with MILD. Autosuggestion is a very powerful tool; essentially, you talk yourself into stuff, which is why it works the way it does. If you tell yourself you're dreaming often enough, you actually begin to believe it on some level, and it helps you approach the world in a more observant manner...

I definitely need to start doing some reality checks in real life to make it something I would think about when I'm asleep. What I great idea! All my LD's to date have been randomly triggered, though it's usually because I don't like having nightmares, so I usually take control enough to change the plot.

Anyways, some dream signs I've missed... geez just yesterday morning, I dreamed I was visiting my mum at work and... she doesn't work.

Anytime I'm in a public place naked (I don't get drunk enough for this to potentially happen IRL lol)

Any dream where I'm using super powers and I don't LD... this really needs to be looked into

I don't yet have kids, but I had an infant in my dream who was capable of walking and talking...

Things like that...

In some of my dreams a common sign I have is I'm looking for a clock, but I can't find one or the clock somehow "forbidden" to look at... I usually get some sense of excitement but don't remember what it was about. I think this was probably because I became lucid for a moment and then forgot about it for the rest of the dream.

Weird... thinking about this I must've had quite a few partly lucid dreams where I didn't remember becoming lucid.

Lol'd

I was shooting at aliens coming down from the sky and a fat old woman shot me with a bb rifle.
HOW DID I NOT REALIZE I WAS DREAMING?

Do I sense a catch-phrase for this thread?

I was having this dream where Mzzkc was summoning Flintstone-style dinosaurs from a time portal. HOW DID I NOT BECOME LUCID?

I had a dream where I found 1,5m no-tobacco joint and it was trying to run away from me. HOW DID I NOT BECOME LUCID?

There are only two ways that i always miss becoming lucid when i do miss becoming lucid, the main reason is by letting what a dc say stop me from doing what i want to do, then i loose lucidity, and the next one is by missing my obvious dream sign.

Me and my friends were on some weird wood boards, being pulled by flying whales (yes flying whales), and chased by Hitler on a speed boat. He was shooting us, but he wasnt shooting bullets at us, but rather pokeballs. We got away from Hitler, and my friend and I started doing C-walk, except we were wearing roller skates. After that, Dinosaurs came off a cloud and started humping each other, and we all lived.... eerrrrrr... happily ever after?
HOW DID I NOT BECOME LUCID?

I was walking down the street at night talking to someone when a UFO appeared in the sky. UFOs are probably my most common dreamsign. I then turned around to talk to the DC about how important it is I do a reality check every single time I happen to see a UFO and something like it. Damn DC was really supportive aswell.

Many times I had dreams telling people about this brilliant lucid dreaming i've been doing - only to wake up and realise that it was itself a dream.

I recently had a dream where there were tons and tons of stars, and I thought now thats really odd. I continued in the dream to try and find a constellation but there was a ridiculous amount of stars so I couldn't find it. Then all of a sudden the stars decided to label themselves in nice glowing writing so I could see them. I then turned around to take a pencil photograph of my cat by holding a piece of paper towards it, and watched my boots melt into the floor.

Sometimes you can't help but think theres no hope when you miss things like this haha.

First post here. I am in the processes of learning to become lucid. Last night I had a dream where I was blatantly hitting some one in the face on the ground repeatedly with the edge of a blunt sword and it was as if I was hitting rock or steel the sword would just bounce off leaving this person's face unmarked. I remember questioning myself in my dream why this is not happening as it should. Woke up awhile later from the same dream and was really ticked, so obvious. If I only would have questioned the situation a bit longer...

A bunch of people and myself were racing to the top of a mountain. I took a shortcut and was ahead of everybody. There was a big crowd behind me; I threw up my middle fingers and kept walking. The path looked solid, but I fell. I fell off a cliff and landed flat on my face, but it didn't hurt.

I slapped myself when I woke up.

Here is a dream I had 2 weeks ago:
I walk into a store and as I browse products on the shelf, I see a box that says "Lucid Dreaming Kit, let your dreams come alive" I thought "heh I don't need that, that's for newbs" and just walked away, not even having the slightest thought I may be dreaming.

A few months ago - I was at a mall, and I looked in a mirror. My head was gone! My neck went right up into my hair and skipped my face. It should've been a glaring obvious sign that I was dreaming, but I didn't become lucid.

So hi every one

I remember a few weeks ago that I was dreaming about being in my dad's house... Something looked funny about a certain closet I was looking at; it was under construction and the closet in the waking world wasn't. I was like, 'dad, why is this closet like that'? And he was like, 'because you're dreaming, silly!' Best thing of my life because I actually became fully lucid.

I was in a cafe discussing my dreamsigns, and said one of them was to suddenly get dizzy. Then I suddenly got dizzy. I was like "Obviously I'm not dreaming now, but that's exactly what it's like!"

Ugh, last night I had this dream where I was in this weird waterpark, it was kinda like a disco, but on water and it was really cool. I told to myself, next time I lucid dream, Ill go to a place like this one. Then I did a reality check (plugged my nose) and I was able to breathe, and I thought to myself "Damn, I hate when reality checks work in real life" I wanted to shoot myself when I woke up.
