Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

Once I had a dream where something had happened to the real world, and suddenly the real world was governed by the laws of dream physics. I remember monsters were roaming the city and I was trying to ignore them so they wouldn't have influence over me.

I felt pretty bummed when I woke up, since I had been helping my friends and family adjust to the new world instead of experimenting.

I woke up in an FA. Took out my dream journal. In it, there was written "you are in an FA. Do an RC"
I just scribbled something on my DJ, and fell calmly back to sleep.
Nearly killed myself upon waking up.

Lately, I keep reaching a point in dreams where I'm considering doing something that would be dangerous IRL, and I think: "Too bad this dream isn't a lucid dream! Then I could do that without it hurting me!" So bleeping annoying!!!!

Well, I've only been at it for two nights, but by far my biggest fail was when I was sitting in an airplane hangar where my dad keeps his plane, at a small table eating cookies and discussing video games with Bill O'Reilly of all people, while the voice of my mother was in the back of my head demanding I clean my room. To add insult to injury, my phone wouldn't work the entire time. So many of my personal dream signs, but didn't get close to lucidity.

lmao ok all very funny post and at least im not the only one that kicks himself for not recognizing it was a dream.

but let me get this right...are we suppose to do R.C's in the dream state while unaware or after being lucid... i guess i answered my own question not much sense in doing it once your lucid soooo i guess it should be an instinctual rc while dreaming that would make you pop into lucidity

Actually, I always try to remember to do an RC after becoming lucid. It really clarifies the dream and helps me stay lucid for longer periods of time.

Last night, I woke up from a lucid, and ended up in FA. Then I was seriously doubting reality. I looked at my hands, there were five fingers. I was about to go back to sleep, but the I poked my finger into my palm. It did not go through it. Even more proof that it was real life. I looked at some text, and then back again, there was no change. Then I checked out a mirror, and it was PERFECTLY normal. Lastly, I blocked my nose, but I could NOT breathe!!!

I mean, what THE hell??? How come ALL of those RCs failed so miserably??? I could have had a great lucid, but no, those RCs HAD to go and **** themselves up. :/

Hey,
Wow...that's one hell vivid dream you've got there,mate...
Haha...
I remember quite a lot of times my hands seemed real and so I did the light-switch RC ,but I saw the lights go off and on...haha...
Sometimes,it seems impossible to escape FA...
Sucks...ain't it?

ty ill try and remember that ...

Ok last night i decided to dwnld the Lucid Remix MP3 so i put it in my phone and went to bed all excited and started listening to this nice voice repeating,know your dreaming ,be aware your dreaming,do you R.C. with nice waves and other sounds in the background.

Well i didnt realize i fell asleep and im still hearing this your dreaming,do your R.C. be aware,on and on,in my dream,suddenly i have george lopez in my right ear and lucid remix in my left and i tell myself,thats weird...then im walking around outside and telling myself these earphones are keeping me awake and im not dreaming never mind getting lucid... so i take em out and try going to sleep...in a tent on someones front lawn in a strange neibourhood...

then,i really woke up earphones still in, and im like,wtf how could i miss all that...pulled em out for real went back to sleep and had a few more sweet dreams that i couldnt remember cuz i was too lazy to write em down when i woke up again at 4 am...

oh well ill try again tonight and see what happens,i definitely think i went directly into dream state due to the MP3

My friend was writing about his dream in what i think was his DJ. I said "Hey, you into LDing?" then he said, "Nah, just writing about this dream I had." "Oh, O.K." I replied... No lucidity for me

Recently a friend of mine completely shaved his head. In my dream, I saw him with his hair back. I was thoroughly confused, knowing he couldn't have regrown his hair so quickly. I reality checked briefly, then though, "Find another way to prove this is a dream."

But then I was attacked by an armoured knight and forced to fight for my illusive life.

I was talking with my brother about lucid dreaming and that he used to wake up in sp. He really wanted to try out Lucid dreaming. After about an hour after our talk I went to bed and this is what happend... I was with my dad on a boat.... when my brother kept asking me can I try to get lucid, please? May I try it once now?? So I finally decided to give him an try, and then all out of a sudden he was snowboarding above the trees in a forest (I was 3rd person). I then thought shit, i'm jealous that I didnt become Lucid.

Also I finished highschool 2 years ago, when I was 17. I remember the most important mark I needed was for the class ''drawing''. I had to make a test and I worked 2 and a half hours on it. Some other girl in my class didnt work on it and she had a higher mark then me, so I was pissed off. I told him to relook at it. When I was dreaming I dreamed that he gave me lower then it already was, so I did a reality check and realised I was dreaming. I was shouting at all the dc that I was dreaming, but didnt become lucid, lol. I also bought myself a twix.

i had one dream today that i was showing my friends how to fly ¬¬, i was flying and one of my friends said: how are you flying? i said: because i am sleepy. then another friend said: wow, now im gonna start practising lucid dreams!

and i didnt become lucid seriusly, WTF!?

I was sitting at a table in a library with a dream girl who had red hair. She took out a journal and showed it to me.

Me: Wow, these are your dreams!
Her: Yup, I write them all down.
Me: This one's really awesome. I wish I could have cool dreams.
Her: They are pretty fun.
Me: Hey, this one's a lucid! I love lucid dreams, I wish I could have them.
Her: Well, you have to work at them.

Doh.

I also had a dream where I decided that I was a fairy with some odd fairy friend. I decided that I was dreaming and I told this friend. I didn't actually realize I was dreaming, just told this friend. That was probably an epic fail.

I'm practically an atheist, but I was perfectly fine with having the Roman goddess Venus make me a sandwich that read to me lines from the Aeneid (in Swedish, a language that I don't speak) when I ate it.

Trying to go turn off the light but can't walk to it because my body is like jelly going back and forth and hitting the walls, which were more like mattresses

Last night I was speaking to a friend of mine who had 2 smaller ears in the top of his normal ears, which were completely green.
Also, last week I had a glass of water and started pulling at the glass like it was a cross between a liquid and elastic, it would come out as I pulled it and then spring back gently when I let go.
I can't believe that I was completely content with both of these things happening

The other night I had a dream where I was laying naked on the floor of my bathroom cuddling with toilet plungers and I thought, "This might be a dream. I should do an RC... Nah, I know this is real." I almost cried upon waking.

There was a "torturer" at my OLD OLD house!

DC : You know, the dinosaurs fighting there is almost like a dream.
Me : No dude, this is a dream. Look, if I snap my fingers, they disappear.
DC : Whoa!! Cool!!
Me : Yeah.......
DC : So uh, about the salami.........

Didn't become lucid. Stupid DC!!!

Once, in my dream the rapture was about to happen, I am in my living room and I look over at the desktop computer. DV is on screen. I say Oh dammit and I haven't even had a LD yet!!

Before I learned how to really talk in dreams, someone offered be something, and I went to pick one up and say something, I then woke up. I was trying to say it in real life.. I went lucid later though. xP
