Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

I was leaving a situation involving two fellow Dreamviews members. I was running from a dog, carrying my paper dream journal and had to keep fighting the pages that were trying to spill out onto the ground. Never thought to do an RC.

- I was in "lucid dreaming class" and I attended the entire lecture without becoming lucid.
- My dreamsign showed itself so obviously obvious it was too obvious to miss.
- My light wouldn't work, I wondered to myself why it didn't work, and then I just thought "oh never mind" and skipped on.

During a false awakening I got up from my bed and walked down the hall, and I did a reality check. On one hand I had 6 fingers, on the other I had 4. I just thought to myself "okay 10 I'm awake"

I have dreams about me trying to do a WILD, and I'm like, "If these DCs would just leave, I could have an LD!"

One time in my dream I tried to make myself dream about islands (one of my dream signs) i dreamed i was on an island in a swamp so it wasnt what i expected and i remember saying to a friend.. "Hey, what if we were dreaming right now?"

I woke up hitting myself on the head in disbelief..

The other day I was lucid, but I couldn't do anything damn it! I kept waking up in bed wondering if I was still asleep (which I was).

Eeventually I woke up with a pitch dark figure ontop of me (it was carried from the first dream of an actual charector with real form...actually I don't remember ever really waking up in reality...hmm, wierd)

First I kept counting my fingers cause I had an extra fringer darting in and out of my hand (like i was one of the polydactile people). Anyway, I eventually grabbed somebody and said something to them...
when I did I wake up (FA i'm assuming, or I woke up to the hypno stuff) and I had this black figure sitting on top of me, he had a humanoid form but was like....invisable/darkness.

It's freaky cause I never woke up really X.X scary huh? =P

In a dream, I was about to be hanged in a western world, but before doing so, the sherif showed me an old gril with skewers of... big marshmallows. I eated them (they were good) but I didn't become lucid... What a stupid DS i had missed...

Last night i was on the side of a road quite near my house and i was holding my thumb in the air to stop cars and when they stopped i would ask them have they ever become aware that they were dreaming.

Really should have questioned reality.

last night my temperature gauge on my computer, which hasnt worked for about 3 years, suddenly came on and was even updated to the newer model. I was just like "sweet", and then I broke it again messing with the settings.

Most of mine are where I'm laying in my bed wondering when I'll fall asleep. Most of the time I'm not sure if I'm dreaming of laying in my bed and I don't want to move incase I'm not dreaming yet and I'm really close.

ANother one... This is complicated...
I dreamt that I napped and I got lucid during the nap then woke up and napped again and in my nap-dream in my dream-dream I got lucid again but then I woke up and did a hand RC. I had only three fingers but I thought it was cause I had sleeps in my eyes (!) and I did a nose one and wondered why I could still breathe. I was upset that I didn't do It right because I thought I was awake and I pinched tighter and up and down my nose and then woke up again. I was really awake and slapped myself for that one.

Okay, i have another, i'll desribe the contents of last nights dream and i'm sure you will wonder why i did not become lucid.

Okay, the first one. I was on a field playing football and me and a friend left the field and got on a plane next to the field and this plane was made out of bamboo for a start and it didn't even have a roof, its seats were laid out like at a stadium, open roof and everything! And why i did not see that i was dreaming i do not know.

I had another dream last night in which i was racing this guy i know across these uneven hills and gorge's, i was running fast and i looked behind me, i saw him far behind struggling and then when i turned around i was about to jump across this gap and he was in the gap and i said "wait, how did you get here when you were back there?" and this was the time for me to become lucid! But no, his reply was "i'm from an alternate reality in which i win the race" and i believed his wacky explanation.

I can be so dumb at times

Last night I dreamt about using small water bottles as percussion instruments. When I awoke, I explained to a brother of mine that I had that dream. I grabbed a few water bottles and demonstrated what I meant. I finally woke up to realise that both were dream segments.

Next time I talk about a dream I had, I need to do an RC. *does RC*

I had strong intentions to become lucid. One minute I was asleep on my bed in a position with my pillow between my legs. the next thing I knew I was lying in the same position at my art class table (in a dream)

after reading so much about LD's lately, I was sure from now on I would realize when things "weren't right"... boy was I wrong... Last night, I had a bizarre dream where literally everything was out of place and I picked up a book about lucid dreams... well, needless to say, I didnt do a RC and did not become lucid... in my dream, it was like everything was right when it really wansn't...

i explained what lucid dreaming was to a dream character.

I was in vietnam and at a camp for kids in a swamp with water paths for trails between the tall grass, i had a 3d dagger that looked like it was from a video game and there was tv's located in the tree trunks saying that when the lunch bell went off we cant be late...i didnt do an RC

Stephen LaBerge made an appearence in my room last night...asking me how to lucid dream...becoming very frustrated with his lack of abilities...

It feels sooo good to sleep like that

I had a character tell me that I was dreaming once. The sad part was that my dream self believed him, but did not seem to understand what being in a dream was.

Hah I remember once I was going down a waterslide of some sort with some people, and one of them was getting really scared. To comfort her, I said "don't worry its just a dream". Hmm...

Last night i was in my house and there was a bus outside full of really hot girls, it drove off so i thought i will use a lucid power telekinsis to bring them back which i did but didn't become lucid.

I've had two recently:

In the first, I was in my friend's room and he said, "Oh, here are your sneakers. I've had them since our vacation two months ago." I said, "Buuuut, I've been using those sneakers for the past two months. I just used them yesterday. How can I have been using them AND you've had them?" He chalked it up to alternate realities or something. I said, "But this is so much like what I've been reading about. Dreams and such." I KNEW, yet I didn't become lucid.

Last night I was in my work office and all of my co-workers were cartoons. I said to myself, "Well that's not right. They shouldn't be cartoons." Still, no lucidity

better luck tonight, I hope.

Edit: Oh, and here's the kicker. When I woke up, I reached up and touched my chin. I thought my chin didn't feel real so I did some Reality Checks (hands and clock). I was so disoriented.

This is the first time I've had a dream in which I could have become lucid easily from an RC but didn't get it. And it's stupid because this would be really hard to realize this was a dream.

I saw text and it was all garbled. I couldn't read it. I probably should have known this was really weird except it was on a computer screen...one I was trying to fix in the first place. I just figured the video card was messing up or the screen was going out. There were pixels missing all over the screen as well. I could move the mouse around and move windows and everything, so it worked fine. It was just the screen. And it was an old Windows 98 machine with a 15" monitor.

This has got to be one of the stupidest ways EVAR. It happened this morning:

Toward the end of the dream, a blond lady rang on the doorbell, and entered the house. She was a Jungian dream interpreter. She asked me to go ahead and tell her some dreams. I found her interpretations obvious and shallow, and eventually we came upon the topic of lucid dreaming. And so I asked:

"So what does a dream about lucid dreaming, but without becoming lucid mean?"

She rolled her eyes and smiled. "That your mind is trying to work with you to lucid dream, of course!"
