Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

Oh jeez, like, EVERY dream I've ever had?

Just a few days ago I had a dream that I failed ALL my finals and then proceeded to get drunk and stoned because I was so upset. Then I kidnapped all of my friends and drove around in a bus that had two seats and crashed it. We died, but don't worry, I rewound time.

Then I was a forty year old man trying to escape the sewers with my pregnant wife by building a boat from old planks of wood. Big waves of sludge were crashing down on us and I remember seeing my wrinkled and weathered face reflected in the dirty water and feeling overwhelmingly depressed.

And finally, I turned into a balloon animal that was being hunted down by poachers. They caught me in one of those bouncy blow-up playhouses that little kids have at their birthday parties. I lived there. It was nice.

Then I woke up, and though, "WHAT THE HECK?? HOW DID I NOT GET THAT I WAS DREAMING??"

I was at a "lucid dream sleepover" with a bunch of friends, and i was in fact lucid, but when i woke up, (false awakening) i was in the lucid dreaming sleep over and we all talked about our lucid dreams, but really i was still in the dream! i was mad when i woke up that i missed a possible extension of my lucid dream.

I ignore blatant violations of physical laws, the fact that I sometimes have superpowers, and that I end up in bizarre situations which given a monent's thought, would make it apparent that it wasn't real.

I don't know about you guys, but I don't tend to fly, open doors telekinetically, heal people, stop/slow time, or run up walls in reality.

Oh, and I'm apparently so good at driving that I can literally do it in my sleep ... just not whilst awake (yet).

I've never bothered with reality checking or dreamsigns, yet, and still have a good deal of lucid dreams. The lucidity just comes at completely random times for no apparent reasons. I'll be breathing underwater, floating around on push-brooms, or turning trash cans into nuclear bombs and not realize I'm dreaming. Then I'll be in the middle of a hand of poker in a completely normal situation and realize I'm dreaming.

Last night i was watching a football (soccer) match and one team went 3 nil up, only for the other team to score 15 times (15-3)

How did i not find this strange?

Before when i was doing my reality checks i would have spotted that for sure.

Last night i was in my old house and i was given a crisps multipack and i remember thinking there are new flavours. I then noticed one flavour was lucid dream which made me laugh, i thought this reminds me of that dream i had where i was given a pack of lucid crisps, i thought can't believe i missed that. If there is a good time to do a reality check this is it (but i didn't)

I can't believe i didn't do a reality check, how could i think it was normal to have a flavour called lucid dreaming?! And i was laughing that i missed becoming lucid in that dream i had before and here i was missing this one.

I was trying to WILD one day out on my couch and I was going through SP so I decided to open my dream eyes and I saw the alarmclock in my room and thought that I had opened my real eyes so I closed them and fell asleep. The funny thing is was I forgot where I was and didn't relize I wasn't even in my room.

I had another dream where I was teaching my cats to ld the whole time I was teaching I didn't think it was weird that I was talking to a cat

Once I was asleep and there was a club I was signing people up for called the 'Lucid Club'.... lol...

You win, hands down

Last night I had a dream I was watching a movie about dreams. A girl was outside in her backyard at around midnight. Suddenly, all of these ferocious monsters appeared and started to surround her. I said out loud to the girl "You're dreaming! Do a reality check!" I kept repeated this over and over again. It would have been nice if I remembered to do a reality check !!

Last night I had a dream that I woke up at my work, which is closed until monday, and I was all "wtf, how did I get here?" I wandered out onto the street and I thought "Wait, I must be dreaming." I attempted a finger-thru-the-palm RC, but even as I did it I was looking around thinking, "No, this street is way too bright and detailed, I'm really here," and the the RC failed

Later my pants even disappeared and then reappeared as I was walking down the street, but I had no chance of becoming lucid by then. I also had a fever last night, which may have contributed to the realism that fooled me.

Haha @ Taosaur's disappearing pants.

I had a dream where the Joker from Batman was trying to get me to beat up Superman by using my dream powers. He tried to convince me I was dreaming but for some idiotic reason I was sure I wasn't. The result? I missed out on what could have been one hell of a super lucid dream.

i didn't fail to go lucid but i lost the dream because of something stupid. i am driving when i gained awareness and i look around, run a stopsign, and say to myself:
"this is dangerous, i shouldn't drive while asleep"
i woke up right afterward, pissed at myself. it seems like my dream self is brain damaged or something

1. My teacher came into class wearing an orange suit with blue dots on it
and 2. (this is the REAAAAAAAAALLY stupid one that I missed) I was in the middle of english class, and a DC kept yelling at me "YOU'RE DREAMING!!! YOU'RE DREAMING!!! DO A REALITY CHECK!!!"
All I did was just kept ignoring him and telling him "I'm not dreaming..."
After a while he got really annoying so I said that I'll do a reality check. I looked at the clock, looked away, looked at it again. It went from 1:56 to 8:C9. All I did was turn back and continue with the class. I could of sworn I heard a voice in the back of my head saying 'you fucking idiot'

EDIT: oh yeah, and In the first part of one of my dreams I was a cartoon character, and then I got in trouble for turning back time using my cell phone.

I saw a girl I know walking around topless, which has never happened, and made no sense. And again, the whole superpower thing. And seeing fictional characters.

Damnation.

*points and laughs at us all*

Well aren't we the brightest bunch.

I dreamt about this old dude (60+) sledding down a hill in a bathrobe.
Didn't get lucid.

Just last night I awoke from a hazy dream, and thought I should write it in my DJ. But, I was tired and figured I would do it in a bit.

I must have lost conciousness at this point. I was still in my bed and very tired, but I convinced myself I should really write that down before I forget. So I grabbed my little notepad and pencil, and looked at the first page, which should always be blank. (I use a pad and tear off the pages whenever I use them, so all pages are empty).
However, the first page has this written on it...ABDCDACBDBADBDCBDCDB all over it, and a little of it on the back. I was confused, what was going on? I turned a few pages and my entire journal was written in this notepad! I was annoyed so I layed back down, and woke for real soon after.

Ack! I'm still fairly new to RC'ing so I didn't think of it. One thousand curses!

I had a dream this girl said "Wow, you know about lucid dreaming too?" And was like yeah, we should meet up sometime.

Sigh. I felt like slapping myself as I was writing in my DJ earlier.

I was having this dream where I was actually being a sort of "Dream guide" Giving a class of highschool kids a tour inside a dream. We were walking around this weird town and I was pointing at people saying "And over there we've got a dream character." etc.

At the end of a tour we all entered this big elevator that would take us back to waking life, and I was answering questions the kids had about the dream. Sadly I don't remember the conversations.

When the elevator stopped I woke up



EDIT: One funny thing was that my cellphone was beeping every now and then. I picked it up and said "Damn, battery must be low". When I woke up my cellphone was actually beeping because of the battery needing a recharge

I'm in France. Alone. Then loads of people come and start speaking German, but with shoddy accents.
---------------------------------------------------------
WTF!? That's the worst time I ever missed becoming lucid. Then there was this other dream, where I had to stop Beetlejuice (movie character) from destroying my house, but I could change shape and change other people's shapes by thinking about it. I missed that chance too. I want to slap myself right now.

LOL last night in my dream i told my brother what lucid dreaming was and he tried it out and i watched him become lusid and he turned into a dog and floated up into the air, yet i didnt become lusid lol...oh well
