Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

Two, three, four, five, six. Six fingers. That seems normal.

Still feels like a dream, though, so I'll bite the skin on my wrist. (Wat.) Nope, doesn't hurt. Not dreaming.

Good job!

Shortly after joining DV, I dreamed that I was teaching a DC how to summon objects.

Maybe where I was at school before school started. Or maybe the dream where I was playing texas hold em at school but we didnt have chips. If I would have thought about it I would have realized we never play texas hold em without chips.

A few nights ago I do the nose plug RC and can still breath. I say to me self damn I guess I am awake because I can still breath lol

Take Care.
D.G.

Recently I taught someone how to have lucid dreams in a dream, and didn't become lucid.

I have one, it happened two days ago, I did a WBTB, then fell asleep again, woke myself up after the dream ended. I did a successful WILD. I went outside of my house and tried to fly, I couldn't. Then I see my dream sister and mother taking out trash, they asked for my help, and I AGREED. The I lost my lucidity, and forgot I was dreaming. But I remember the trash smelling really bad. Plus later that night when i got home from work, I had to take out the real trash lol. That has been my worst moment so far.

I was in my dream and I looked at my hands and asked "am I dreaming" I realised I was because I could only see 3 of my fingers (the other 2 were blurry) on each hand. But then I said, "no, it's the resolution of my eyes, that's why I can't see my fingers, therefore I can't be dreaming.

That was annoying XD

I know I just posted this but i had one where i was in endless water and i was like....what now? because there was basically nothing to do in endless water

It's really strange: last night I dreamt that I got turned into a pig. At first, the guy who transformed me couldn't understand me, but then I asked him a question and he answered it. Note that he turned me into a pig by accident. Anyway, when he replied to me, I said, "How can you understand me? This breaks the laws of physics!"

And breaking the laws of physics is definitely possible in waking life. Nice.

I once had a dream I was in the MW2 map scrapyard running away from my friends who had miniguns... I killed all of them except for one, then he pulled out a knife and was about to stab me, when i screamed STOP!!! THIS IS JUST A DREAM!!!!! He stopped... and we killed some militia. I woke up and was like... How did i know i was dreaming but didn't realize it?

one time i did a reality check and then woke up the second i did it

I had this chick come up to me and ask me If I was ugly or not? Shit am Handsome.

Here another one:

I'm flying in the sky, make several looping and pirouettes, I'm even able to walk in the sky. A DC looks at me how I fly and asks me what I'm doing there. My answer:
- I'm training a bit how to fly; I must get used to it. I want to be able to fly perfectly next time when I'm lucid!

I had a dream in a dream that I was shovelling snow, and I thought how easy this would be if I were dreaming - I could just melt the snow with lasers from my eyes.

... yeah.

In a dream I had last night, I did the finger-counting and nose-pinch RCs. I said, "nope, not dreaming because I only have six fingers and I can still breathe through my nose."

In one dream I looked in a fogged up mirror,and written in the fog it said "You are dreaming" so I did the nose RC and could breathe,so I thought that meant I was awake. >.<

That tends to happen alot.

I had one just the other night where I thought I might have been dreaming so I try to think about a place to go I just ended up watching a wrestling match and I thought I was awake because it was like seeing threw my minds eye like in normal life. Then I had one where I thought I was dreaming but instead of doing a RC or taking control I decided to wake myslef up. So close yet so far.

If that is true how would one know if their dream or not. I've never had a LD but if I can't reconize breathing threw my closed nose as being dreaming then what will tell me am dream. Just asking thanks.

If you are doing a reality check it means you already suspect yourself of dreaming. You cant just rely on a single RC. In cartoons they often have the pinch me one then there is the nose plug one. Some people say lights wont work so try flipping a light switch it may work or it may not if it doesnt work then there is a chance you are dreaming (or you need to call an electrician). Or another thing you can do is to read something turn away and look back and see if the words changed.

These are all things that I have read from posts of other members I have never done a reality check (though I have been lucid) so I cant give you really good advice. I am no expert at all so if there is anyone who has more knowledge feel free to contribute or just teach me other ways.

A night or two ago, I dreamt I was reading about precautions to take before going lucid. It had the typical overprotective guidelines, such as, "Get help from a parent before going lucid."

First of all, why didn't I reality check? Second of all, I don't need my mom's help to go lucid! I can do it by myself, thank you!

I was dreaming the other night as i always do. I was walking along in this field and realized i was dreaming however i wasnt fully lucid. I was very interested in something in the field so i decided that i would wait to become lucid until after i checked out this thing (i dont remember what it was). In the back of my mind i thought to myself 'i bet im gonna check this out and then forget to become lucid' and thats exactly what happened.

So i missed becoming lucid because i decided not to in a dream! lol
