Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

my alarm clock went off irl and in my dream there was an ambient alarm clock noise and everyone was talking about alarm clocks and waking up

I dreamed that fat 3-year-old ninjas wanted to take over DreamViews.

*shakes his head hopelessly*

I generally sort of know that I am dreaming in my dreams, but it is not a lucid kind of knowledge - It is bad because it stops me doing RC's as I already 'know' I am dreaming. Here are a couple - all the way through the dreams I am sort of aware I am dreaming...

I was having this dream, but to edit most of it out... I had been reminded of illnesses/bugs, and I notice there is lots of snot that has been coming out of my nose and I think that is what you get for thinking about bugs in a dream - but I am not lucid.
Another time I told this really funny joke and I thought 'I must remember this when I wake up' and carried on dreaming.. DOH!

I have one that takes the cake.

In my dream, my cousin and I are walking on the street and I ask him what he is doing here, he should be halfway around the world right now for a month. He tells me that he's back in town for a week, and heading back the following week. What I say next is word for word.

Me: "huh? That's so weird... I know this feels and looks exactly like real life but I have a serious feeling it's a dream!"

Cousin: "Ahuh...sure"

Me:"I really think this is a dream, I'm going to do a couple Reality Che....*WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP*

Just as I'm trying to tell myself to do a reality check, a family member decides now is the perfect time for me to wake up.

She still doesn't quite understand how a person can be so angry at being awoken..

About 4 days ago I had a dream where where almost every single sentence (that I remember) generally had the word "Lucid" or "Lucid dream" in it.

a few nights ago, I was in a dream where the headphones from my cd player turned into a tiny creature that looked like the queen from the movie Aliens, but only about 8 inches tall, and started chasing me.

A few nights ago, I was dreaming about walking outside my house at night, and looking around I was like "Hmm... Am I dreaming? Nah, it's too realistic."

I was in my bed, and I realized that I was awake. So I decided to DIELD. When I relaxed I felt as if I was tipping over to one side, even though I could feel the bed against my back. Suddenly I tipped out of bed and roceted into the wall next to it. The world looked really hazy, kinda like in LOTR when Frodo puts on the ring. My limbs felt all strange, so I figured I'd rolled out of bed while still being in SP. I did the pinch-nose RC, but since I expected to be awake it failed. After that I went on with a non lucid dream.
-.-

I was in my backyard. then this aboriginal walked up to me and said "this is a lucid dream brah" or something along the lines of that, Then he ran off.

I was in art class, for some reason, without any clothes on... No one seemed to notice, but I was humiliated. To reassure myself, I said "I swear, I'm dreaming right now." But, I didn't do any RCs so I stayed non-lucid.

Looked in the mirror and saw the female version of myself (figured it was a once in a lifetime opportunity that very few people get to see their opposite self

Cant remember the others right now but i've had some screamers lol

Just last night, I was in a dream where I was looking for Adam Lambert at this premiere thing (If you don't know who he is, look him up ) and I ended up getting this other guy's autograph. I noticed he wrote his name as "Spongebob" and I was like "Wait, why did this guy say he was spongebob? Why do I want his autograph?"
I TOTALLY should have done a RC, but I just shrugged it off and continued looking for Adam!!
(which, I did end up getting Adam's autograph, in case you were curious ^^)

Oh gosh, sooooo many of my dreams are really confusing and freaky and unreal... and I never realize I'm only dreaming. Actually now that I think about it, when I realize I'm dreaming is in the most normal situations. hahaha

In a dream a girl I know in reality came up to me said to me, "Relax... It's just a dream" and I didn't listen. It was during the EPIC DREAM (the one in my signature).

This one happened to me last night actually... In waking life the night before I was at some get-together with drinks and grilling. The alpha males all decided they were gonna go to the bar and pick up girls. The rest of us were uncomfortable with this idea cause we are socially inept, so we ended up going home. That night I remember thinking to myself many times over, "Why do I suck so much? When am I gonna stop being a loser?" So when it was time for sleep, I practiced MILD and had a dream where I was aparently socially outgoing. I was hanging out with some friends in an extremely wealthy neighborhood near a city, crashing random parties in every house. I remember having a great time, meeting awesome women that were actually into me. At the one party I remember flirting with a goth type chick and told her I liked her tongue ring. For some reason I reached out and touched the ring and she started sucking on my finger, which turned me on. Anyways.. after that party I remember chilling on the corner of a blvd. in the fancy neighborhood with a friend, drinking a beer. As we were talking, I remember the strange realization come over me that I didn't know where I was or how I got there. I asked my friend and he told me simply, "Man... you're in the 'hood. That's where you are." So instead of using my suspicions to become lucid, the dream continued and I woke up shortly later.

first of all, its not uncommon for me to have dreams where I look completely different. In fact, its more uncommon for me to notice that it is unusual to suddenly have a completely different appearance. Usually my difference in appearance is racial. I'm almost entirely sure that its because I'm darker, in a way where people can tell I'm not fully white, but not in a way where they can tell what I am, so I commonly have people making various guesses about my nationality. You name it and someone has guessed it: Asian, black, pacific islander, latina, egyptian, native american, indian, etc, etc.

Anyway, last night in a dream I looked down at my arm to notice that I was black. I thought to myself that it was strange, and asked the guy I was talking to about it. He smirked at me and said jokingly that it was because I was hanging out with so many black people (a reference to a retort I commonly make when people say that being accepting of gays makes more people gay, to which I commonly reply. "You're right. If I hang out with black people, I turn black. And if I hang out with tall people, I get taller. its totally not possibly to retain your individuality while being friends with someone else."). I rolled my eyes and went on with the dream.

And as if that isn't a stupid enough way to miss becoming lucid, I missed it AGAIN!

I was talking to him, and felt a strange connection like one I don't normally feel with people. I knew him on a deeper level, but I couldn't figure out how, so I asked him. He looked at me with that same smirk and said, "You really don't know?"

I went on to tell him that I knew that I knew him, but I didn't know his name or recognize his face, so I suspected he wasn't someone I knew in waking reality. GAH! I knew that I was dreaming, but wasn't paying enough attention to that to realize I could become lucid. xPPPPPP

I was breathing underwater for a while, and when I came up I just said, "Well, that's interesting." I then fell off a bride, found various celebrities standing around my house, and watched someone fly around. Didn't even consider a RC.

Onetime I was discusing with my friends about how I was dreaming.. when I realized I was dreaming, I turned and something caught my attention.

epic fail

This morning I was in SP and about to enter a LD. But i thought my dad walked into the room so I woke myself up =/

whats WILD

Well I remember blacking out while saying I'm dreaming and I didn't even increase my clarity which I should of .

This is a nice thread. Ive had this happen a million times. Once I was at the gym getting ready to do squats and my friend that moved away years ago kept sliding pizza under my feet and I would go apeshit and flip out on him and the process would keep playing over and over again but i never caught on lol.

About 5 months ago before I knew what LD was I had a dream I had wings and was flying around my school o.0
I should have realized without a RC...

Last night I dreamt I was frantically trying to reach my mother on her cellular phone. I attempting to use my cellular phone to do this. As I was punching in the numbers, the numbers would show up incorrectly on the screen. I grew very...very...frustrated while doing this and I was (needless to say) beyond pissed.

YES. That is the most frustrating thing ever. I had a dream where my apartment was being robbed, and I was trying so hard to dial 911, but the numbers weren't showing up.
