Wow, dream signs, I can't believe I missed it!

[Bobert42]

Okay, so I was trying to go into a lucid dream last night (I've been able to recall at least one dream a night since I was little) and I thought that I didn't manage to get to sleep/remember my dreams last night. So I was just reviewing dream signs and stuff to prepare for tonight, and I saw the light switch failure part. Then it flashed through my mind. I did have a dream, the entire dream was about me trying to fix my light bulb! At first, I thought that I had just gotten up in the middle of the night. But what actually happened was I had a false awakening! I dreamed that I needed to go to the washroom, but the light wouldn't turn on, so I decided to crawl into the circuitry to fix it. Ugh... I wish I had been paying more attention. I'm so mad at myself. If only I had noticed.

I have the same problems. I never notice anything weird or bizarre no matter how obvious. Like a night ago I dreamt of my brother, only to wake up and realize I don't have a brother >.>

[Laretta]

Same here... I almost always miss them even if they are really strange (possibly because I had only passive LDs... Not sure about this)

[Lemons]

You guys don't even know. I go to school, it looks all different- don't even notice. I dreamed about a project I did- and the project in the dream looked all different. I questioned it at first, but then reassured myself thats the way it usually is. I figure the only way I will be able to LD is to either do my technique that I'm developing- or to WILD.

Lol! It happens to the best of us. Sometimes I even tell myself that I'll dream about whatever happened in the dream while in the dream. Makes no sense beating yourself up for it just laugh it off and try again.

This happens to me a lot. Sometimes I realize I'm dreaming and try to control the dream (usually by trying to do magic tricks, or running around to different dream characters and insulting them because I can get away with it--but the DCs usually end up getting angry at me, and then I feel bad), and other times I just go with it. I just started trying to achieve lucid dreams at will a few days ago, so I'm brand new to all of this. I fell asleep the other night right after reading something about lucid dreaming, and ended up having a dream where I knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that nothing was real...but then I couldn't remember how to do dream checks or how to actually become lucid (which doesn't make sense, because I was already aware that I was dreaming). I got all upset, and the dream turned into an anxiety-ridden mess of a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream. But hey--it made for an interesting first entry in my dream journal. And now I'm just more interested.

Just last night I had two obvious signs as well! The first sign was there was an Elk missing some limbs just chillin in my garage. I decided to shine a laser pointer at him? And second I caught huge air on some roller blades. WTF was I doing with rollerblades on?

[Reclypso]

Who crawls into the circuitry lol

[kamoro]

Last night I locked a sliding door and it still opened. I did not become lucid.

LOL at these stories.. I had an aggravating one last night too. I was riding in my friend's car and we were talking about dreaming. I SAID TO MY FRIEND: "I must be dreaming right now, my perspective is all wrong." Because instead of seeing the world from inside the car at 3-4 feet in the air, it was like I was just floating along about 2 inches off the road. Even after saying it, I didn't become lucid, I just kept going along with the dream. *facepalm*

[MarkieP52]

One awhile back: Cousin:What's Lucid dreaming Me:Controlling your dream Cousin: How do you know you're dreaming? Me: RC...I prefer the finger through the palm method...I'll show you *Pushes finger through palm and pauses* Either the shortest lucid ever I'm just a dumb mofo lol

[Dreamer95]

Thats Awesome Markie, Lol, So i see a huge boat floating 10 feet in the air by two balloons, I dont know How i missed it

[Mewantmorpie]

Guys, this happens to all of us, I failed a reality check, the nose plug one in a dream and didn't even question anything else about it, i was frustrated for a bit, then realized if i was mad about it. That'd do nothing but hinder my success, just remember to stay aware and don't get mad about anything, all experience is good experience.

[jed001]

i have missed so many dream signs that it makes no sense to me. and then i will become lucid for the strangest reasons but i do it enough that it keeps my trying

[Dreamer95]

Just had another... Friend: *Clones himself into two* Me: Wow, it really feels like theres two of you Friend: This is getting even worse.

[Linnypig]

Someone TOLD me to do an RC in my dream and did it in front of me. I didn't.
