Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

I was dreaming once, and I look up and think "Hey... Its always overcast or dark in your dreams right? Its not usually sunny.. I might be dreaming!" I then said "But Im too lazy to RC so I won't bother" and continued on with the dream.

Ha ha thats great!
For me my best RC recently is to ask myself if I am dreaming. Ever since I started its always seemed to happen in my dreams each night. Usually when I ask this I get a dizzying wave of consciousness immediately.

Thats how my first LD started 2 nights ago... I'll try more like these

Last night I was trying to WILD and I remember my Dad coming into my room and yell at me to wake up and mow the back yard. I just kept my eyes closed and ignored him because I knew I didn't live with my parents anymore and he was distracting me from trying to lucid dream. I woke up and was so pissed but luckily when I fell back asleep it was into the same dream so I became lucid.

So he was a Hallucination?

yeah it was a hallucination.

The dreamsign that i missed that made me feel like a dumbass was when i went into a strange house i had never seen before. I remember entering the house and thinking, "yay finally this house!! i remember this house from my previous dreams."(That was the first time i shoulda done a rc) The second sign was seeing 4 dogs at the table in front of me, speaking to me, telling me that they are the father of 8 children and that 2 of their wives are blind. Now that was retarded and i should have recognized it -_-

I do this all the time.

Lol, just tonight (in a dream) I was talking to a guy and he's like "My wife just admitted what she had done wrong in her journal" (I'm thinking "wow, they record wrong thing isn their journals?! I wonder if they have DJs...") He carrys on, "now that this is done I have this many lucid dreams a night" *shows me a piece of paper which has on it "12>>>>>>"
Me: OHHHH LUCKY

last month I was trying to show some figures I saw on a daylight fullmoon to a DC, when she started to yell out really louder: "Oh my god! I saw those figures during my dreams!". Then I told her: "Yes, but don't forget to question reality. Have you wondered if this is a dream?"
I didn't!!!

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.

Holy crap, those are hilarious! " 'Damn, I hate when reality checks work in real life' ". Ha!

So, my worst one. I was reading a Looney Toons DK book when I saw that one of the pictures had a caption that said 'lucid Daffy'. So I was like, "Oh, that says lucid, like in a lucid dream! Huh!" And I kept reading. The picture even came alive, and I wasn't convinced. I woke up in a daze for a moment, and when I remembered I thought ''DAMMIT''!

That one is definitely the best.

I remember a few....

My dream last night, I turned around and looked at my house then when I turned back around there was a carnival in my backyard where the woods were supposed to be.. like wtf, how did I not realize somethin was up??

Then, once I was underwater in a swimming pool breathing and I just thought it was cool, didn't really know I was in a dream...

vvvv These are from when I was young vvvv

Also, I levitated my swing set and was like "omg finally I learned that spell! (Harry Potter....); Another one like this... I was dueling Hermione lmao. I just kept doing the Leviouso (spelling?) spell to make her fly up.

I bought soda, popcorn, and candy for under 5 dollars.

I did a WILD, I did RCs and they failed, then my brother spawned from nowhere (he lives at 1h30 from my house) and said I don't need to be lucid to have fun and we went on an epic journey across de world.

wowww! Last night my friend asked me in my dream why I wasn't Lucid yet!! Come on... :[ Was only my second night trying though..

Hahah, awesome stuff guys and gals.

I got a few aswell:

I had a dream a while ago where i looked into the mirror and I had no skin.. I could see all my muscles and I got a bit freaked out and ran down and asked my mom what was wrong with me (shes a nurse) and she responded " Dont worry its just a side effect from the soup you ate for dinner. And I just tought: ah.. ok.



Also last night I were going in for a WILD after visiting the fourm.
Anyway It was all going really well, I was repating to myself: "When I am dreaming I will see my hands and realize i am dreaming."
after some repeating I decided i wanted to try to choose out what kind of scene I was going to enter and I went for a sex dream with a hot girl I know.. as I entered the dream It felt like I was draged back out of the scene and a bright light started growing really fast then it sounded like something short-circuited and it felt like i had seen the light behind me and when I opened my eyes in shock right after, it felt as if they had been staring in to the back of my head and rolled back forth when I opened them :S did a reality check but apears I was awake.. I'm not 100% sure that I woke up though, might have been a BTB / FA? (not quite steady on the meaning of those two ) because I went back to sleep again after a while.

Ether way It was really freaky heeheh

after going back to sleep I had a dream where I dreamt I was fighting Zombies inspired by L4D (left 4 dead) apearently but I some way was affected by starwars and Gears of war at the same time.. because after a while the monsters that came in waves from a coridor seemed to turn into robots and all of a suden I got these two small objects that I could atach to the palm of my hands and use as lazer guns. It was really neat, was almost like casting spells but after a while the coridor changed into a white marbel coridor that was somewhat bigger and white curtains came down just in time to seperate me and a metal / zombie cat .. I backed up abit and noticed that my orblike lazer guns were not working and so I decided I'd just kick the robot really hard in the face.. but just after I kicked it in the face I tought to myself for some readson: HEY! what if that wasnt a monster but my cat? So I lifted up the curtain and saw my cat lying there bleeding and I were like argh.. darn it! Why does my dreams always change in the last minute!?

I could have punched myself for not geting lucid from that !

He he. Its weird how things just go over our head in dreams. How you can find the plainest of jokes hilarious, or you can be the best of friends with someone you don't even know. And, of course, can ignore your subconscious trying to make you lucid.

I was talking about the best way to attain lucidity for me with an old man in my dreams and later I tried to do a WILD inside my dreams with me getting basic HI before somebody woke me up and then badgers with weird fur turned into cats after they died...

Just the other night I was talking to a DC about something I can't quite remember and near the end of the conversation I asked him his name and he said "Sponge Bob". He looked rather embarrassed about it and I told him that he could probably have it changed. I walked away without giving it a second thought. When I woke up I couldn't believe I had missed something so silly.

Great. Last night I dreamed I was watching Vanilla Sky (a movie about lucid dreaming) with my friend, didn't even think about doing a RC.

I attained a sort of fake lucidity in which I thought and acted as if I was lucid and did remembered things but my logic was completely off and I thought I was asleep in the place I was dreaming about.
I looked at my hands and they were screwed up, and my watch was going crazy, but I thought that was the way it was suppose to be.

The night before last I had a zombie dream which normally makes me lucid but didnt. Before I knew about LDing I used to kill myself in a zombie dream to wake myself up and i did the same that night. I was in London and I jumped in the Thames. I was trying to breathe in the water to die quicker but it just felt like I was breathing normally. I cant believe that I missed it! It was the weirdest feeling ever.
