I don't know if it was dumb, but a tiger was chewing on my face, and I thought about doing an RC, but I thought if it was a dream I would probably feel more pain
I was talking to someone on MSN, explaining how cool Lucid Dreaming is, and how I'd love to be able to do it that night. It just looked so real though, I didn't catch on.
Was being chased by a dinosaur
I am a junior in high school so, in my dream, i was skipping my 3rd period class (thats when lunch is) and i told my friend, "you know, skipping is kinda cool" and then one of the administrators (Mr. Flores who is a really cool admin) says, "no its not, you know there are going to be consequenses for you skipping right?" and he jsut walked away. then i was at the library playing this game, called 9dragons, and when i logged in on the bottom of the screen it said "minimum exp is allowed" so i thought that that was Mr. Flores' punishment for skipping (in the dream it all made sense) and i asked him how did he do it. he told me that he was one of the creators of the game and to look at the menu, so i did and sure enough his name was in the middle of 5 others, but it just said Flores, no first or last name or anything. and the rest i forget.
but through all of that, i never once thought of doing a RC check.
and quick question, arent words not supposed to be legible in your dreams? because they were perfectly legible in this one?
I was at a theatre with friends in my dream. One of them got up and started dancing around on the stage and doing stupid things while the play was going on.
I got embarrased untill I realised the audience were laughing WITH him.
Then suddenly - as though I was given the script to my dream - I knew that my friends and I had to go to trail for something we did not do.
Then an idea came into my head in where by my friend acting like an idiot on stage we would become popular and so the trail will go in our favour.
So I told my other friends to also dance around like prats while I go around and recieve compliments and handshakes.
I dont know why this made any sense to me in the dream.
I was flying around my basement last night -_-.
wow, that's awsome :DQuote:

Okay, so I was on my way to my grandmother's house and when I got there I found 4 gaint packs of candy in the cupboard. I took out two Reese's and two M&Ms. And then the bad stuff happened.
-WHAT I DID : -
- I can read perfectly in my dreams. Proven.
- I remembered so in this dream.
- I also remembered that I had nothing in my sig on DV.
- I knew that if I kept looking away and back at the package I would read something different and stupid every time.
- I repeated this with a box of cheerios.
-WHAT HAPPENED : -
- I could NOT remember a THING when I woke up and it was soo funny I had burst out laughing in my dream. Even after in the dream I told myself to concentrate really hard on what the box says so I'd remember it when I woke up. I even repeated the words once or twice.
- The only thin I remember from the box is this "How to Dispose of School : 1. Throw yourself [school] out." D=
I TOLD MYSELF I WOULD WAKE UP! HOW THE HECK DID I NOT BECOME LUCID?!?!?!
A couple weeks ago I dreamed Ron Paul won the election. don't know how I missed that one.
Ok...I was lying on a pavement trying to go to sleep, and telling the yellow ducks that were coming up to me not to disturb me because I was trying to WILD.
I wake up (FA) to my husband asking me about wanting to do laundry. I start to tell him about the weird dream I just had. He just looks at me and says, "Are you sure you are not dreaming right now?" with out doing a RC I look at him and say back, "Yes dear I am sure." In an anoying tone for him interrupting me telling him about my dream. I woke up shortly after that and smacked my forhead for missing that lol.
Anna:jester:
Well, this happened years ago, and I probably wouldn't have had the incentive to RC (since I found out about all of this stuff a couple of days ago), but here goes. Basically... I "forgot" to dress for school and ended up arriving there naked. :P Go figure... how did I miss THAT?
LOLQuote:

Missing a dreamsign? Don't even get me STARTED. Just last week, I had the most obvious dreamsign ever. I dreamed that I was playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and all of a sudden my dream changed, and I was in my room attempting to have a lucid dream. It never registered, and I never became lucid. Let me reiterate for clarification: I had a dream about trying to have a lucid dream, and I missed it.
Last night, I noticed how things weren't quite right. I started by trying a nose-plug RC, which half-worked. I could half-breathe through my nose, but I thought I just wasn't plugging it well enough. I tried again, and my nose was fully plugged. Still not satisfied, I tried a couple of other RCs, all of which reacted how they would in reality.
I shrugged it off and continued dreaming normally. When I woke up, I realized what I'd done...
I was running away from Belatrix LeStrange (I think that's her name... She's one of the death eaters from Harry Potter) in this weird place... While I was running away from her, I promised that I would have a talk with my girlfriend... I don't have a girlfriend right now...
I had a dream that I controlled the moon...
I had a dream that I was driving on this electric screwdriver/scooter into the ground and up through the ground...
I've fought boxing lobsters...
I dreamt about my teeth falling out last night and I told myself that this is strange coz my teeth only fall out in dreams, and I'm not dreaming right now.
I dreamed I was talking to this giant half-man half-bat creature...was really weird!
Damn you'd think these things would trigger our logic centers huh?
A dead super wolf came back to life and chased me and some other kids in a Halo 3 map and then the wolf turned into my geometry teacher.
lol wowQuote:

It was really dark outside so he said '' It's especially scary now that it's so dark out here, are you afraid of the dark?'' And I respond ''Not really, I'm more a bit paranoid. I doubt reality all the time. See there is something called lucid dreaming, when you know you are dreaming. The most common way is when you notice something strange to do a reality check'' then he said ''What kind of reality check? Show me'' and I responded ''Nah, not now''. And that was that.
DUMB
I once dreamt that loads of people I know were playing the card game made by me and my friends. In reality, six is the most people who've played it at once. My science teacher was there! And he played a non-existent card!
My dream was filled with people i knew in everday life... everything was the same... EXECPT we were all cartoon talking birds!!!
Well there was some kind of nutter throwing darts at me last night, which hurted, but I didn't realize that him throwing dart arrows was weird, or that the arrows were gone as soon as they hit me was weird, or that I didn't start bleeding was weird.
Last night I thought, "Hey my phone is ringing in real life... Oh well!"

-_-
A few weeks ago, I dreamed I was at The School. It's a recurring location in many of my dreams. In the basement, which is where I always end up, theres a vast locker room made up of a series of rooms that go on as far as I can see. Well, I thought, "I wonder if this is a dream." I tried to do the finger through palm reality check, and it didn't work, just like real life. So I said, "Wow, so this is a real place, and not just a place in my dreams."
I was in an airport with a couple of friends, and we decided to all buy pets for some reason. We all meet back up with an assortment of pets, and I picked up a lizard type creature. Something catches my attention, and the lizard turns into a snake. The snake tries to jump at me, but I get out of the way. Something catches my attention again, and when I look back at my pet, the snake is in an aquarium, and has turned into a newt. Same thing happens, and this time, it looks like an eel. The next time it looks orange/yellow in color, with scales, and a dragon type head.
Last night i almost had an LD.
I did my usual reality check (looking at my hands) and found out i had 12 and 1/2 fingers (one was actually growing).
So i remember saying to myself "Oh, then its okay, this is NOT a dream"
D'oh! :doh:
i was in my backyard and this girl kept saying that i was dreaming. i kept saying i wasn't. so she had this stepping stool thing in front of me and she said, "close your eyes and see if you can step right into the air." i couldn't even balance on it so i was like, "see, im not dreaming." then she gave me a piece of grass and said, "try to make this levitate." i made it catch fire and said, "damn, im wrong, i am dreaming." then went on with my business not lucid.
I had one where I was Butters from South Park, being chased by a 100ft tall ape-man-thing. I got to the coast, had a brief conversation with the ameobea in the sand, then swam towards a boat, which smiled at me, then raced my way to come pick me up.
Last night I dreamed that I was lying awake in bed. Then I tried to lucid dream while awake. :? In my dream it actually sort of worked, but I didn't become lucid.
I was a 16th centuary Japanese General and I was leading my army into battle. However, the battle was located in my school hall - twas a bit cramped.
I walk into a room and joined this guy playing bongo on this womens boobs. after I was tired I tried the boob graping machine :wtf:
I ran into a random house, changed the channel on the livingroom television to porn and ran back out again. I don't know what I was trying to achieve, though it seemed like my normal beheviour to me!
Haha, that's ace! XDQuote:

talking to my dad in a dream, I said, "Now if we were dreaming we'd be able to do some really amazing stuff"
ffs
Last week I was escaping kidnappers with my kid brother (who doesn't exist) by climbing up a huge willow tree. I was thinking how lucky it was that we were both wearing green clothes because we will blend in better. Then I thought to myself that it was suspicious how lucky it was, like this is too good to be true. Then something else happened and I forgot all about it.
I feel like an idiot after this one lol. I was on a bus with heeps of mates, looked like a dry/deserty landscape. Suddenly it started flooding, im not sure if it even rained. We all got out and i started talking to a mate. He sed this is a dream, i could just fly to where we need to be. I started arguing with him about it. I said something like 'your an idiot, its not a dream, and you cant fly'. I woke up shattered at missing that lol.
Once, about 4 years ago when I was 10, I dreamed I was graduating at grade 8, and I realized that If I was born in 1994, and it was 2004, how could I be graduating? I didnt go lucid, but I did decide to go to the staff room, get a knife, and start killing everyone yelling "THIS IS A DREAM!". lol, it was funny :shock:
:shock:well i hope you became at least part lucid before the stabbing part. because otherwise ummm....i hate to break it to you, but you might become a serial killer in a few years.Quote:

The phone is my downfall!
I've had a number of occurences where I missed obvious lucid cues. But I wouldn't call them stupid or attribute any blame to myself. When dreaming we are in a state of delusion.
A delusion is a belief that is immune to logic or reasoning.
So it would be credible to say that, within dreams, our brains are functioning in a way as if we were mentally ill, or in a state of psychosis.
If we found out that we were suddenly able to fly in reality, we would question immediately, and perhaps us lucid enthusiasts would do a reality check. In a dream, we may not blink an eyelid at such an occurence, not because of voluntary foolishness, but just human inability.
So if it happens to you, don't worry its not your fault. ;)
Our house were being eaten by a huge chicken...
that is pricelessQuote:

Taken directly from my DJ:
"...I saw traffic lights that were alive, and they hung from their bars by their hands. When they are green they swing back and forth playfully, and when they are red they stop swinging..."
Why I never thought this was weird at the time, I don't know.
I was a guy being attack by a guy much like my brother because he thought me and his wife were having an affair. and he kept bashing me on the head with crystal bowls and unopen tin cans of beans
Being strangled by my mouse O_o.. Now how i failed to see that as a dream is beyond me.. :?
i was trying the DILD last night, so i was repeating the "I will realize i am dreaming...". sur enough, in my dream, i was at school and one of my friends was mimicking me saying "I will realize i am dreaming..." laughing. well, truns out i never ended up realizing.
I was on the internet in this dream looking at houses for sale and I couldn't get a clear view so I went through the computer screen. Looked through the window to see the neighborhood. Wasn't good enough so I jumped out of the window to get a better view and landed on concrete. Couldn't move so I went back upstairs and kept jumping until I could walk around. I didn't think it was weird at all while dreaming it. :lol:
I was having a dream and I said,"This is such a cool dream! I hope I remember it when I wake up!" :doh:
What's even MORE hilarious is that I actually DON'T remember it!(except for that statement of course) :P
Haha, oh my god! :oQuote:

This is rather sad and childish but i've managed not to be lucid when this super hero character asked me to take his place for the day.
He gave me an elephant to ride that was able to free run and what not and run up walls and things, the elephant was extremely fast and had a very light weight.
This super hero-like character had a job of performing on the streets for money by giving people rides on the free running elephant.
I gave this old woman a ride on the elephant (since I was taking the super hero's place) and after a while I got bored of her being on and she dissapeared off the elephant.
Later, after I had done the job, I had to go into this very skanky, run-down flat. I climbed up several rusty metal stair cases. Because the stairs were rusty they started to break under my feet, I looked below me (the stairs are those queer ones where they are just pannels) and I could no longer see the other stairs, I could only vaguely see a cold, wet brick floor which was a VERY long way down.
This is when I had a similar dream from when I was about 7. (I used to be scared of the steps that were pannel-like, the type of ones that when you look down you can see the floor because I am also afraid of heights)
Then I got to the top, eventually, clinging on to the half-secure rails in fear of falling. There was now a swimming pool below and a long diving board (I got forced to dive off a very high diving board when I was younger) I stepped on to the board and my legs were trembling and i peered down so close to the edge that I got that feeling in my stomach of sharp uneasyness.
I knocked on the door of the super hero's flat, he had long dark hair and a deformed face, some what burned. it ended up he was a 'bad guy' and was smoking pot in his room:laughhard:. I removed the mask he had lent me off my face (It was Slipknot looking) and blood then started to pour from my hair line. :P
I can't remember much more but the rest involved a electric screwdriver and a lump in my throat (The type where you watch a sad movie or something and you try and fight crying)
And I wasn't freaking lucid!!:eek:
I was for some reason performing the play King Richard III by Shakespeare when suddenly the Monty Python gang barge in awkwardly, with everyone looking around in silence, and them saying in unison, "No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!." I laughed but then was profoundly frightened when they pulled out the Holy hand grenade.
When one of my characters said "don't have sex, commit suicide."

How did I not see that as a dream?
D'accord... a couple of really dumb ones:
1. I'm Spiderman, and I have to fight Hawkeye in this office building. I'm looking around for my costume wondering where the hell it is, but then I look at Hawkeye and he's dressed in trousers, white shirt, and a tie while shooting arrows at me, so I figure, "Screw it, if he hasn't got his costume, I probably don't need mine". Somewhere into the fight in the office, I try to shoot some web at him, but nothing happens. I wonder what the hell is going on...then just jump him instead. (NOTE: I wasn't Peter Parker, I was me, as I am, but with the Spiderman alter-ego.)
2. I'm in a bathroom, looking into this concave mirror with multiple sides. I'm looking into each side of the mirror but my reflection isn't appearing. I'm thinking, "What the hell is going? Why can't I see myself?"
I tend to do quite regular reality checks, especially when I see or experience something unusual, so I can't believe I didn't remember to do any in these Dreams. Those were just the highlights, there were plenty more cues that I missed too (like being on my street where all the buildings had been painted royal-blue, and the street had been blocked off by a wooden royal-blue coloured cut-out). Oh well, just to keep trying...
A dog was talking to me casualy in a dream I had on Friday night. I'm surprised I remember the conversation.
"Are you my grandfather?
"No..."
"Are you a DC?"
"Yes..."
"What is your name?"
"Reese..."
Then the dog walked away and I found myself in another dream.
Now this is the weird part. When I woke up from this, I made a plan to ask my mom what her dad's name was, because I was pretty sure it was Reese. But then I remembered we had a small family tree photo with just my grandparents, my parents, and me. So I went to check, and found out that Reese is my Grandmother's middle name.
Yeah...that was kinda weird...but it was a talking DOG!!! And I asked if it was a DC!!!! I literally slapped myself when I woke up.

Seems like i need to find a new/better RC method
I was talking to some DC and i said " Hey I've seen this in a dream before."
DC days, "Wait a dream?"
I say, " Yeah, this is a dream."
DC says, " I'm dreaming?, oh my god thats crazy."
I say, "Yeah, dont freak out, its basically like real life, the way this all looks."
DC says, "Oh alright, that seems ok."
But from all this i dont become lucid.
Instead people start changing appearance as im looking at them and i wake up, guess cause i was losing concentration. :roll:
Back in highschool I had some crazy dreams for a bit. I don't remember exact details of these bad dreams I had been having, but I remember them being very disturbing and they caused emotional issues in waking life. During this time one night I was dreaming that I was walking up the hill on my way to the bus stop to go to school. I remember doing a reality check, I said to myself "If I'm wearing my black bra then I am not dreaming" I checked and I was in fact wearing my black bra, so I went on my way. The next morning I was freaked out that it had in fact acutally been a dream.
I've also had the dream that my alarm clock went off, I got up , showered, got dressed, was going out the door and then I actually woke up in real life, and was immensely dissapointed and freaked out.
The reverse has happened too. In waking life my mom came into my room and brought me this purple silk shirt my gramma had gotten me for my birthday. I was barely half awake when she came in, we talked for about 30 seconds and I was back to sleep. I woke up later, saw the shirt on the couch, and flipped out. I thought I had dreamed my mom coming in and showing me the shirt and whatnot, and it took asking my mom about it before I would believe it wasn't a dream.
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 :oops: 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. :shakehead2:
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 :whyohwhy:
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!" :superman:
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! :doh:
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..:P
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.Quote:

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. :eek:
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 :lol:
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 :roll:
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! :tongue:
I told her she needs to stop doing RCs with me as a joke and take them seriously :tongue:
Last night i had the craziest dream i was walking around with all my friends and all of a sudden i was like "shit!!! I lost my daughter!" and i was running around looking for her.only thing is i dont have a daughter.
I had a dream, and in the dream I went to sleep. I was then in a dream's dream and I realized I was dreaming and tried to go lucid in the dream's dream, but not in the original dream.
Most of the time I don't have time for or cant do any other methods apart from DILDs.. I dont do dream checks very often either so my chance of changing from a vivid-lucid into a truly lucid state is quite hard...
One time though I managed to float around the place and pass through a wall - I still didn't become lucid
Ok, I just had this very crazy dream that I was riding my goped (which I haven't used in 6 years) and after a bunch of stuff happened I accidentally missed my turn on the road and pulled into this neighborhood. There was a chimney, like the house had burnt down, and there were cows all over the lot.
I distinctly remember thinking to myself: "Wow, that is pretty strange. That's definitely something I don't see every day." I started to ride away and then I was like, "That's the kind of weird stuff I'm supposed to do reality checks for!" So while riding the goped, I tried to do the finger-through-the-hand technique. It failed, I merged with traffic, and continued to ride down a very realistic road almost all the way to my house. :roll: Damn, but that was close!
Lol, THATS why you should block your nose and try to breathe through it instead of putting your finger through your hand. perhaps the dream knows that you cant put your finger through your hand and it stopped you from doing so? whereas when you block your nose and try to breathe through it, breathing is actually quite abit more complex than sticking your finger through your handQuote:

Oh, absolutely not. I've done the finger-through-palm technique and had it work at least 9 times now. I used to do the breathing one, until it failed and I realized it was stupid anyways. I mean by that logic, why would you be able to breath if your nose is plugged? And why would that be more complex?Quote:

I know from experience, if you don't hold on and keep it straight, you fall and it hurts (which I did right after in the dream)! Plus I assumed it was just a reminder to do an RC, not something that may have actually cued me into lucidity, if you know the difference.
But damn! Ah, well, at least I'm on the right track.
It's all because of this man:
Last night, my friend and I were playing tag only not with hands but with guns. Even worse was I got shot in the face and hand and just decided, "I guess I lose."
My stupidest missed chance at a LD happened a couple of nights ago. I was at this strange house picking up a date and was being introduced to the father. He gave me a very firm hand-shake, almost crushing. So, I squeezed back and his fingers came off. Neither of us even mentioned it, I just held these fingers in my hand as the hand-shake ended. I guess we were leaving to go on our date, and the dad turns away from me when I put my hand on his shoulder and said, "Hang on, you'll need these," and handed him back his fingers.
One time I had a dream where I was in a classroom talking to someone for quite some time... about lucid dreaming. I even handed them a bunch of papers about it that I had printed out (Whilst Awake) the day before.
Close, but no cigar. :?
I listened to his entire podcast series. It's kind of interesting, but doesn't help as much as you would think.Quote:

Just last night, I had a FA that I was getting ready for school. Everything felt so real except for when I viewed my mirror. My teeth looked very odd but the thought of that being a dream was very far because I thought I just ate something that terribly stained my teeth, until I really woke up.
A while back I had a dream where i was trying to gain SP in one of my computer solution classes. The teacher had thought I was spacing out and moved me to a different seat.
I woke up very frustrated.
:mad:
I woke up and started to writing down my dream, desperatley trying to remember every little thing. Then I really woke up and started writing down that same dream, including the part in which I woke up and started to remember the dream. What a loop! (the first one was obviously a false awakening).
Last night, I had a dream that I owned a "WILD machine"
When it beeped, you put your hands on it, and it did a WILD for you.
I never became lucid.
i've had many dreams where i've been talking to my friends about lucid dreaming.
and a couple of weeks ago i was "lucid" inside a normal dream. but not actually lucid.
:?
I was lying in my bed, while the last SP vibrations ended. Then everything went black and I just look at my wall and thought "This is it?" and told myself to wake up. The worst part is that I was completely aware I was dreaming. It was like it I was awake all along!
Holy crap, that was funny!!! I actually have a daughter, so at first I was thinking, "what a horrible feeling" until I read your last line!Quote:

Well, I dreamed about that orange juice alright, and while I drank it in my dream, I could not remember what I was supposed to remember!
Just last night I was with my aunt, and I didn't want to leave her so I said, "What if I go outside and the sky looks different?" She didn't respond. I walked outside, and sure enough, the sky was a bright green color and the clouds were gone. Everything else looked kind of inverted in color. There was a lot of yellows and reds. My aunt yelled, "Tornado!" as if the sky turns green when that happens, and I ran inside. -_-
The other night I was dreaming and I looked at my hands and counted my fingers, and there was six and all I could say was "I'm dreaming!!" and then I sat there and persuaded myself I wasn't cause having six fingers wasn't possible... I swear I think I'm retarded sometimes haha.
I woke up and I was so pissed.
That's very good, Futura.
I had a lucid dream, and I started trying to spin in order to teleport somewhere. I could feel the lucidity fading away, but I was still spinning. My thought was, "Oh no, I've woken up and started spinning in real life- this didn't work, I better go back to sleep."
A few hours after I woke up I realized that my bedroom is the size of a closet and I would have woken up my roommate if I had actually been spinning around, not to mention the floor is covered in junk. So much lucid dream time wasted!
The moral is, always reality check when you wake up.
Last night in a LD I was folding some clothes. When a pair of clothes I was folding started to float towards the ceiling. I hurried and grabbed them so they wouldn't get away and looked at one of my friends next to me and was about to say "Did you see that?" but just shrugged it off.
Being hunted by horde of some kind of hellhounds in a city that was floating on air. I was dressed with clothes that glowed magically and I was carrying a halbert that had glowing runes and about 2.5 meter blade. Tripped and fell from the sledge. During the fall that seemed like 20 kilometers a person that many people propably call a dream guide ( I tend to think him as my subconsious that has a form in my dreams) was circling me and lamented that : " Is this how it will end? Geez, your gonna get us both killed" then he smirked and said : " Oh wait, we cannot die in your dream can we?"
I just yelled at him that " Don't distrub me, I am trying to make a plan how we get out of here alive!"
And I fell through some kind of fabric to some room unknown to me. Then my attention got taken by some girls I know who were dancing outside the window.. and well.. there was absolutely now hope anymore to remember to do RC or whatsoever :D
Human mind is truly strange.
well all my dreams are weird so i dont have any excuse for not becoming lucid. an example is one time i dreamed that outside your house was radiation and anyone who left their house got radiation posioning and there was a narrator saying "fires are always a big problem cuz of this" And how ppl would only use "natural" methods of healing raditation which worked like crap an yea.... there was another where i was on top of a train goin really fast with a llama and i thought "wow how are we not bein blown off? maybe...." then i saw the llama had a sign and lost my near-lucidity D:
I had one dream where I was in front of wal mart talking with this girl about lucid dreaming. We were telling each other our dream signs and everything...
I once had a dream where I went to work only it looked much different than it normally does, and on one wall was a massive mural of a city and a sky above it (isn't really there). I said to someone who was near me that "this seems exactly like something that would happen in a dream," and yet it did not occur to me to check to see if I was dreaming.
last night I was ina grocery store with an Exfriend and my mom came out of nowhere and told me to help her carry the fruit and I got this overwhelming feeling of 'this is really weird' but my nose pinch RC failed :/.
I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, after I washed my hands I turned to the door and their was a strange man in the hallway. I asked him "Where am I?" to which he replied "Sleeping comfortably in your bed." It was creeped out so bad I woke up.
My cat ribbit like a frog at me once and I never for the smallest second figured I might have been dreaming, I just took it as reality.:shock:
Last night I re-entered the same dream 3 times and failed each time to reckognise that I'm dreaming about the same thing again, I just thought that I did all the stuff yesterday or something like that.
Somehow I keep dreaming about being on the buss :?
And it happend ofc again this morning... so I think to myself in the dream at the buss "I always dream about being on the buss, I wonder why I do that. I guess I better check if I'm dreaming the next time I'm on a buss in my dreams" and I remember also thinking "I must google about dreaming alot about busses" :hrm:
And last night I saw Kermit the frog in my dream walking under me.... and I was like "Ohhh there goes Kermit the frog".
First I dreamed of an event, and then later in the dream I told my teacher about it saying, "I had this dream that..."
I guess its sort of a false awakeing.
Just silly that I didn't notice.
I was watching some birds fly and I thought, "I wish I were dreaming, then I could fly too."
I had gotten into some trouble, but I knew I could get out of it by waking myself up... and yet I didn't become lucid.
I was fighting someone, doing slow motion maneuvers, and I thought, "Some people can do this while they're dreaming."
Me: Can you actually talk, or only when I'm dreaming?
My cat: What do you think?
I had several dreams about lucid dreaming without becoming lucid :? Once, I tried to rewind time as I often do in my dreams, and it has already been a good dreamsign for me before, but this time I just thought about it a little and then said: No, I won't become lucid now, I'll better see how it is to rewind time ... :roll:
And once, I dreamed I was in my school and a friend said something like: "Didn't you want to have a lucid dream?" and I was quite annoyed because I hadn't become lucid for a long time and my friend seemed to make fun of me. In another dream, I was visiting this website ... and once I looked at my hand to do a reality check, but the hand looked as always. And several times I just said: "I have to become lucid!" in my dreams, but never realized that I was already dreaming ...
I was walking through a water filled trench that had a ton of dead seals in it and I was In knee deep water I went to high ground to see if my pants were wet and they were dry and then I thought (i never knew my chords were water proof):P
I have my Lucid Weaver on my phone go off at random times during the day for me to do a RC. last night i left it on so I could hear it in my sleep (at night I make it so two lots of three beeps go off).
I remember a dream of being at work, and suddenly my RC alarm went off. I was just about to do an RC maybe, then on the second que, it turned out to be someone else in the office with Lucid Weaver. They tried to cover it up by pretending to answer the phone as if they didn't want anyone to think it was a dream alarm - Which is what I think in Waking life. But I don't pretend to answer my phone when it goes off.
Anyway. The dream was vivid and I missed out. I'll turn it on tonight again and see how I go.
I'm ok with most spelling errors, but I can't get over the fact that you spelled "annoying" wrong, lol.....twiceQuote:

I was in a dream and i started flying around and i told the person next to me (flying as well) "this is almost like a dream huh, too bad its not" And then we kept on flying...No lucidity what so ever lol
Last night I had a dream where i was teaching a guy to levitate we were
floating around about twenty feet in the air and it was great fun, i did
not become lucid though.
Later followed a dream where i was driving along a road with somes friends
in a flying saucer i decided to show off by taking off and flying over some
houses, again no lucidity.
This morning I was dreaming that a guy from my last school I saw on the train some days ago was saying to me "I had a dream and you were in it". I really wonder why that didn't make me lucid.
But I became lucid later in the dream though :banana:
I was in car and was on my way to cram school. It was night time and I thought to myself, "What if this was a dream?"
And the dream just went on. Fail.
Just a couple nights ago, I had a dream that I was walking through downtown Vancouver.
Nothing special happened, until a little message popped up infront of me saying " Melatonin now causes a twin!"
I looked at it, looked away and kept walking.
Much cursing ensued that morning :D
I had a nonlucid flying dream. But is was more fun than all my lucid flying dreams are, because I thought it was real, so I'm glad I didn't become lucid.
hahahahahahahahahahaQuote:

The latest I remember is this dream where my sis, bro and some other person were going somewhere, and the first dreamsign was that they rode away on a motocross and a scooter, neither of which we have, but I thought it was perfectly normal.
Not to talk about the ritual they used to get to where they were going. Seriously, that ritual had like 10 dreamsigns in it :P
First, you had to crush five eggs (!) against the sidewalk. When you had done that, you had to create a spot "more black than black", so that you could "see the night sky inverted". But that's normal, isn't it?
The second dreamsign of the ritual is probably the most stupid (and funny) of them all. You had to have someone write a specific word (it wasn't a real word) above your head. Then you soared up into the sky, seeing a bright light shining from the one who wrote the text above your head. Still, perfectly normal of course.
Then you would fall down again, and a Windows Form Application (!!) would pop up in front of you. It would contain a number of destinations, including the place my sis and bro were going to.
After the ritual there were some other dreamsigns as well, such as time skipping, magical creatures that looked like Santa Claus and such.
Of course, my stupid SOB brain thought that all of these things were absolutely normal. I hate my brain :P
"would you like some pancakes on your hamburger"
*sigh* It was a failed WILD.
I looked at a rock.
The Most F#$%ed up fail i've ever had. :shakehead2:
Heheh, another one was a dream where I was in some kind of sunken city or something, where all the city's inhabitants were merfolk. I wasn't a merman, but I could still somehow breathe underwater and swim as fast as a doplhin. There were at least 5 different things that should've made me question reality, but all I could think of was to have sex with this really hot mermaid (which actually would've been impossible, since she had no...well, you know :P).
Oh, there was this one time when I was like 9 or 10, and I had a false awakening, so I went up and walked down the stairs, and
1. I noticed a black cat on my endtable, even though we didn't have a cat back then.
2. The cat magically turned into a hag (like in Disney's Snow White) and followed me down the stairs.
3. The hag had a minigun.
4. I held up my foot as a shield and she shot me in my heel.
This made me wake up and feel a strong pain in my heel. Turned out I hade kicked my leg in my sleep and hit one of the corners of my endtable :P
Now when I look back at this, I feel really frustrated that I didn't notice any of these very obvious dreamsigns :P
Saturday night i dreamt that i poured boiling chicken noodle soup into my fishs' bowl and all that happened was he changed colors =/ he lived and all i did was put my face up to the bowl and stare for the rest of the dream
In one of my latest dreams I was in a huge bed with 20 people, which all had the space they needed (so yes the bed was huge) and one at a time everyone went to sleep to wake up five minutes later and tell about the LD they just had. I did this a couple of times (can't recall the LD's I've dreamt about) and then I said to someone: It's so easy to become lucid this way, I only have to say or hear one thing and I realize I am dreaming.
How could I've been so stupid not to realize it might have been a dream
All my dreams are pretty much things that could happen but i wouldnever do. Thats why its hard for me to go lucid. :P
(Dream)A little time ago, I saw my grandfather in a table...
I thought that that was strange...but not sure why....(Dream)
He died a long time ago....It didn't trigger my lucidity jejej
the stupidest way i've missed becoming lucid (of which there hav been many grr!! lol) the other night i had a false awakening but i've been RC'ing every time i wake up so i did that and realised that i was dreaming and then "oh day as usual then" and let the dream continue as per normal haha so i actually became lucid for like a second but then decided that was irrelivant and shud just get on with it haha how lame is that
We were catching a bus, and the road looked a lot different to the one we live near, which is where the bus stop is. We walk up to this counter to ask when is the next bus, she said we just missed it. It was 1:02 PM (in my dream). She said that the next one didn't arrive until 6 o'clock!! :shock: Weird. Normally buses on this route come every 30 minutes! I'm thinking, WTF? Yet it doesn't click to me that I'm dreaming.
I also dreamed I was driving a car (dream sign -- I don't have a license yet). It was doing 7 thousand RPM and it smelt like it had a bad startup on LPG and backfired :? (My lord, my entire dream life revolves around cars!! AAAAHHH! Probably because I got freaked out when the car my friend was driving smelt like something like electric wires were burning inside :eek:) We arrived in someones driveway and I woke up.
God dammit! STOP STUDYING AUTOMOBILES!!! *slaps self numerous times*
A couple of nights ago I had a dream where I was going to take a friend of mine with me into a Lucid Dream... The last thing I remember is us getting into bed and talking about what we'll do once we fall asleep and go lucid
This is kinda frustrating, because I can hardly remember the last time I had a Lucid dream :( Oh well
One time I had a dream where I barfed up a puppy! It was funny, because I didn't even question the logic of the whole situation!
I dreamed today that a spaceship was flying through the classroom. :|
At the very beggining of my efforts to lucid dream I had a dream where I met up with my friends and asked them what they were doing and they said they were going to a lucid dream camp haha
1. There was the words "in a Dreaming state, niaphoraxis" somwhere in my dreams and I even read them... enough to remember it XD (but didn't get lucid)
2. I was talking about how dreams where awesome...
Some more I forgot from not reading my Dream Journal enough!
The worst is when you start talking about the first dream you had to the people in your "new" second dream - I didn't realize I was dreaming, even though in the 2nd one there were flying saucers hoovering around the gymnasium bleachers LOL talking about my 1st dream. WOW!
EPIC fail.Quote:

Last morning I was rock climbing with this guy who's like spiderman. He's doing 180's and crazy tricks on the wall like climbing with his hands only and then see a huge rubber penguin appear and this girl starts punching it and it goes flopping around lifelessly just staring at me. I immediately think ok RC time! I perform the nose pinch and looking at my hand tests but don't recall the results. I am convinced it is not a dream because everything is so vivid and normal (aside from those things) so I dismiss the test :(

I had a FA and tried to do a RC. I pressed my finger on my arm but it bent and slipped. I wasn't convinced, so I looked at my hands and they were distorted and blurry. I still wasn't convinced and tried poking my arm once again. This time it was remotely realistic and I said "Yeah, I knew I'm not dreaming!"
One time I dreamt I was in Alaska with a family (not my own) and we were in a cabin and I knew where I was and I knew what day it was. So, I thought I had to call my work and tell them that I wouldnt make it in that day. When I found a phone I accidently called my real mom, but once she answered I couldnt speak. That made me start to question things. Then I woke up.
dreaming awake
I was sleeping at class and and the teacher woke me up, looked at the time in my digital watch as i always do, it said "2:47" wich is a weird time to be in scool, so i looked again, same thing "2:47", then everything got fuzzy and weird and i woke up, looked at my alarm clock: "2:47" WTF?
Damn. That's pretty cool. Wish my mind would wake me up like that :PQuote:

First Post! Last night, I auto-suggested to myself that I would recall some dreams and record them, after first reading about Lucid Dreaming. I had a strange dream that about 200 people were getting onto a SINGLE bus, and all of a sudden, we all rushed out and ran away from the bus. I randomly tell people I want to be called 'African American' (No I'm not...), and everybody agrees. I then thought "I'm dreaming... Maybe I'll go lucid!" but nope. I woke up. :( I'm trying again tonight.
Well, so does mine :PQuote:

Okay, back on topic:
This night I found myself in some underground hellish demon lair, but it wasn't very scary. Apparently I was to be part of some ritual, where I had to have sex with my mother (yeah, I need to get my brain checked) so she could give birth to the ultimate evil or something like that. After a while he was born, and grew up almost instantly, after that it gets really fuzzy, but I remember something about going up to heaven or something like that.
I worry about my mental state sometimes.
Omg lol. It would have been so bad if it wasnt a dream!Quote:

So a few nights ago, I had this dream. And I cannot believe that I didn't become lucid. It was a bit unclear, but ill try my best to describe it:
I was sitting in a room. Just an average room. There were a few object scattered around that I was familiar with. I was doing random experiments with lucid dreaming. For example, moving objects with my mind, even changing the colors of things. However, I myself was NOT LUCID. I'm almost still laughing about this whole thing. How could I have a dream about lucidy without actually becoming lucid??
Have you ever had any dreams like this, where you just can't believe that you didnt become lucid?
:) Many people experience things in their dream that should make it painfully obvious that they're lucid..don't worry, as you get more advanced you'll become more aware of your surroundings, especially if you're doing plentiful reality checks during the day.
I've dreamt dreams like this..I've been placed in ridiculous situations and seen crazy things, though I usually remain completely oblivious to the thought that just maybe I'm dreaming :P
I always have dreams in which I find some reaaallly obvious "wierdeness", but I dont become lucid. It's frustrating...
I have had many dreams where i have been levitating, flying and using
my mind to move objects and still not been lucid.
When you wake up you can feel quite annoyed with yourself lol.
:)
I think most people have had similar experiences to what you've had. In my case, I remember a really long dream where -gulp- I was searching for dragonballs, lol. It never dawned on me that I might be dreaming, not even for a second, even after I woke up several times from the dream and it continued after I fell asleep again. Guess I was really tired(cold) and must have went to sleep thinking about db :D Didn't really help that I was crazy about the show after watching all eps :P
Last night I was dreaming that I had to defend a castle with Mulder and Scully (lol) against a 100ft child and at one point I said to them "keep an eye out while I do an RC", i got halfway through counting my fingers and they were like "quick the kids attacking again!".
Naturally i stopped RCing to defend my castle.. --__--
I had a dream where I was in my cousin's lucid dream. I had a FA
I had a dream where....
There was a ferris wheel outside
A tornado was coming towards my house
My house got blew up and it wasn't even my house
I was at my old house
That is all I can think of right now lol :D
Once I was writing down the dream I just had in my dream journal and the journal was all sorts of fucked up. Some pages had really beautiful patternistic drawings that seemed impossible to draw. I was at times writing off the page and it would somehow work. Like I would write something in the air above the page and it would apearas if on the page.
ANother time(and this one made me feel much stupider) I saw a bilboard that said -You are dreaming, DO a RC- I thought "hmmm, am I dreaming?" But then something distracted me and I never did a RC. I was quasi-lucid for 2 seconds but that was it. I was really mad at myself for that one.
There was this B*TCH at the supermarket in my dream, I saw her stealing our car so I quickly jumped in (THAT'S not in the spirit of me :?), we were then driving down this road and off the road was this lovely, lush green grass (recurring theme), and suddenly I was in my OTHER car, somebody shouting at us something I can't really remember. I wouldn't be surprised if he was telling us to "GET OFF THE ROAD!!" because at that time I went over the median strip ON PURPOSE, just to turn into a driveway. It was raining heavily and I also had blurry vision.
In a dream I had the other day, I asked my brother if he knew that he was dreaming but didn't realise that I was dreaming myself. :p
If you know you're dreaming, you're lucid.Quote:

I get it now D:
All I remember was trying to kick someone in their crotch because I was really mad at them (Again! That has happened so many times in my dream. I got really mad at a DC for some reason. :roll:) and my leg just didn't want to move at all.
a few days ago when i went straight into SP i thought when it'd stopped that i was awake, and was a bit annoyed that i didn't wake up in a lucid dream
then i got out of bed and tried to turn on my pc to talk to someone on msn, and i woke up xD
not sure if it counts as a lucid dream if you don't know you're asleep, but i was in control and it was as realistic as one
..just wish i'd gotten more out of it xD
The one that usually almost ALWAYS gets me (pisses me off so much) is the water dreams where you can remain submerged 'forever' and breathe under water. Every time it happens I feel like I've achieved something truly amazing that only I can do, and I get caught up in the excitement of breathing under water.
You'd think this was a natural 'nose-plug' type of Reality Check, but I fail often.
ha yea this has been happening to me alot lately. and its always soo obvious. like i was at a music store that i always go to and then they added a new addition that sold golf clubs and i woke up feeling like a dumb ass.
I rarely ever do RCs unless I just want to confirm what I already know, but they may have been helpful in some dreams...
I've had plenty of dreams where I'm in control but I'm not lucid. I don't know why flying and body switching aren't automatic lucids. lol
I also dream about my childhood house a lot, but that alone has never made me lucid. It should, considering it's on the other side of the country and looks completely different now.
