Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

lol I missed out on being lucid so badly last night , i actually had a dream about doing RC's where i did the nose RC about 4 or 5 times and even though I COULD breathe i didn't realise I was dreaming gaahh

last night i had one where i was standing in some room with a bunch of people. i thought to myself, "i guess i could have sex with this person. i am dreaming so i could try to change her appearance but that will probably fail. plus there are better things to do." then went right back into being non-lucid.

Last night in my dream I went out to the driveway and with sidewalk chalk wrote in huge letters "The next time I think about dream cups I will realize they are dream cups" Then I looked at it and thought to myself that's not right! Then I wrote again in huge letters "The next time I am dreaming I will realize I am dreaming" I thought to myself: now that's right maybe that will help me have a lucid dream the next time I am dreaming. And I went on with the dream completely oblivious. DOH!

I've had a chance to have sex in the school bathroom, but I just said "No" and decided to stay abstinent (for the moment). Then, I woke up and smacked myself on the head, because there is no way that would ever happen (in real life).

I think it was after my second time being shot that I said, "Oh, I must be dreaming." but I didn't do anything... I even thought that I should try a lucid in the dream...

I needed the toilet in my dream and I entered this HUGE bathroom/locker/shower room. However, there were also desks in the room and people were sat at them being taught by a teacher - was kind of off puting. Not sure how I did not recognise this as a dream sign because this has happened to me many times in dreams.

I remember I was having a dream about my friends and I piling out of a van near a mall. I was like "Wait, nobody has that kind of van...ohhh I must be dreaming!" Then of a sudden, this other part of my mind or something screamed "YEAH? Well, shut up, I want to see what happens!" Became non-lucid right after that.

I remember flying a red, futuristic version of the SU-47 into a flying aircraft carrier, then jumping out Halo style onto its deck. From there, I proceeded to battle my 'arch nemisis' in the honeycomb style interior of the ship with a jetpack and a laser attached to my arm.

Apparently, this is perfectly acceptable and completely normal.

Stupid lack of dream consciousness

All four happened last night:

1. I kept saying in RL that I probably wouldn't be congested from my allergies in my dreams, since the nose pinch RC is usually fail-proof. Last night I was completely "congested" in my dream with runny eyes and everything, and kept telling people "Well I can still breathe! I must not be as congested as I thought I was!"

2. Marine mammals swimming while I try to take pictures of them have recently become a dream sign. I had a dream that not only was I photographing manatees, but that I picked up a manatee calf. A DC asked me, "Isn't that heavy?" and I said, "Oh, he's only about 800 lbs or so!"

3. I told my subconscious before I went to sleep to remind me that I was dreaming. I was in a dream with my DC mom. I was telling her some elaborate story about some alligators that was totally a dream story. My DC mom turns to me and says, "Are you sure that happened? Are you sure it wasn't just a dream?" I respond, "Well, yea. I mean, I'm pretty sure." "Are you sure it wasn't a dream. Are you sure it's not a dream?" She started talking about our present state, but I thought she was talking about the stupid alligator story and never realized she was cluing me in!

4. I was flying through this beautiful land, sort of like canyons and mountains. It was beautiful and I was flying at incredible speeds... it was so fun! At the very end I landed, turned to my sister, and said, "I need to get a copy of that video so I can watch it next time I go to sleep so I can do it in a lucid dream!"

I was being chased by zombie like people in the sewers for awhile. I realized that we weren't going to be able to get away. So I turn to a girl I am with and say, "If you suck my 'D', I will probably wake up and be out of here. Then I can come back in and save you guys." Before she could answer a zombie came in and I thought why don't I just shoot energy balls at him? Then I thought how that failed in my last lucid so I probably would fail. And even after all this, I still didn't realize I was dreaming and could do whatever I wanted. COME ON.

Yes this has happened to me multiple times and it is very frustrating.
Like the one last night i was on a space ship (big reminder here i took no notice of) then to top it off, the ship fell apart while i was on it and i lived when hitting the ground. Did i realize i was dreaming even then? Nope i got up and shook it off lol

Last night in my dream, I was driving down a residential street with my dad.

I said to him casually, "I've dreamt about this street before.."

No Lucidity..

I had a dream that I was running through a jungle. It turned into a DILD because I thought "When have I ever been in a jungle - and especially with these people?" Then the rushing leaves and breaking branches faded into nothing. I knew I was still dreaming so I started to visualize. I decide to try flying because it worked before to maintain lucidity. The next thing I knew I was high above the clouds in a tropic setting - only thing is I started to fall instead of fly. To save myself I imaged I was in a plane, but I kept slipping out of the back of it (it had a back door like those military drop off planes) basically I got so freaked out from falling I woke up. It was so hard to stabilize, I should have stayed in the jungle.

Well last night there was an automap in the upper-left corner of my vision, displaying wherever I went. That one should've been a clear indicator. Oh dream world, you never cease to blow my expectations.

Last night I had a dream where my mom asked me and my older brother (who hasnt been at our house for a few years) if we had ever had a lucid dream. I said yes and so did my brother. I was surprised that my mom would ask such a question and more surprised that my brother said yes. I questioned him about it but didnt even think to do a RC even when he mentioned them.

A couple of nights ago in this dream of mine, my friend Alex's dad was talking to one the support beams to the Phantom's Revenge (rollercoaster).

*Evil lady who Im to do battle with runs up the stairs and cackles slightly "Your dreaming!"
Me: *makes dramatic turn towards opponent and says like in a movie "I know!"

*Battle scene

...didn't become lucid hahah

the other night i had a total of about six dreams, and i remember every single one of them in detail. anyway one of the dreams included me laying down in my bed on the phone, talking to my girlfriend about the dreams i had . i didnt gain lucidity and when i woke up i felt like killing myself for missing something so obvious

whenever i talk about dreams or ask if i'm dreaming my characters get amazingly furious and start attacking me.

once i saw a microwave counting 9-2-5 and assumed it was normal....damn, damn, damn

your objective mind is not present in sleep, which is why you often do not recognize pink elephants as dreams...your subjective mind, sleeping mind can take dreams to mean pink elephants, but not pink elephants to mean dreams. but if you mention dreams, or think of dreams... well i suppose we all have those expieriences... what is with that r key... maybe i'm dreaming...

I just had this elaborate dream where I was trying to get money from the bank. Upon leaving with no money whatsoever, I almost ran over these kids who were playing in the street. I swerved into a parking space, and looked back to see if they were ok. A train started going by, and the children got hit by it, but they were ok. The mother was standing with her legs on either side of a track that went down the middle of the street, trying to pick up the kids and their toys...

And then I got carjacked by a deer.

Hey guys, its been a while

Was non lucid the other day, then a 1964 Plymouth Fury cruising by with some damn hot chicks in it, i got invited to the car and then some "whoop-de-doo" things happened. Because those cars hardly exist here in Sweden you'd think i would recognise it as a dreamsign, but oh no. Got a little pissed, but forgave myself later on

I was in my garage and thought, "hey, maybe I'm dreaming" then I made an empty beer bottle levitate in front of me. But then my mom came in and I got distracted and it fell to the floor and smashed. She then yelled at me for making a mess, and I thought I wasn't dreaming. ...so close

I was telling my mom about my lucid when she remembered that she'd almost had one. She said in her dream, I walked up to her and said, "Hey! This is a dream!" so she and I started to put our fingers through our palms, but it didn't work for either of us. Then I apparently turned to her and said, "No, this isn't a dream." and the dream carried on without her becoming lucid.

Jeez, even as a DC I can't cause lucidity!

I told her she needs to stop doing RCs with me as a joke and take them seriously
