Had it handed to me and I turned it down

There was a good side and a bad side to this story. On the good side, I remembered 5 dreams during the night, thats the most i've remembered yet. :)

On the bad side however, during one of these dreams, it cut to a limbo-like state where it felt like I was halfway through jumping. During this limbo, there was someone else there with me and they said "You're dreaming." This sank in and I thought to myself "Hey I am." But I kinda didn't do anything about it. After that, the mid-jumping feeling was replaced by a falling feeling and I sank back into a non limbo, non-lucid dream.

Dang. :P

That happened to me recently...I was sitting in an empty room with no doors with my friend in my dream, and suddenly I said in my dream "HEY! I'm dreaming! That means I can make a door!" But then I didn't go lucid. Really dissapointing. And it makes ya feel stupid too...

Aaaarrrrrggggg!!!!! That stinks!!!

DOH! :doh: It's cool man, we've all made these kind of mistakes.

aw, man, that is frustrating! That happened to me a couple months ago.
I was with my dad and uncles, riding in this old beatup truck. On the way to this rickety old wooden barn-like building, I looked out the window to my right and saw a strange symbol graffitied on a chipped brick wall. Somehow, that sparked my lucidity. In the old building, up on the second floor, it was sort of like a loft with staircases everywhere between floors. I lined everyone up to address them collectively and I said "I know this will sound strange, but this is all a dream!" Most of them walked away in disappointment for one reason or another, but my dad remained and I continued to try to explain/convince. Somewhere in there, one of my uncles came up one of the many staircases and smiled at me as I said hello. That smile was cunning though, and it forced me to ask "You know this is a dream..??" He held his smile and nodded as he passed by... but that's as far as I got. Events continued on autonomously for a good while, and the building changed to an industrial theme for a few moments.
So I didn't really have high lucidity...but my senses were pretty active. It was still a neat dream.

I know exactly how you feel. When I was trying to go lucid, I had literally 7+ dreams where I say to myself, 'Hey, I'm dreaming' But didn't do anything about it. Keep trying and you'll get it.

Sucks doesn't it? :(

aw poor you!!! Missing a chance to get lucid = suk
