Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

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.

The dreamsign that i missed that made me feel like a dumbass was when i went into a strange house i had never seen before. I remember entering the house and thinking, "yay finally this house!! i remember this house from my previous dreams."(That was the first time i shoulda done a rc) The second sign was seeing 4 dogs at the table in front of me, speaking to me, telling me that they are the father of 8 children and that 2 of their wives are blind. Now that was retarded and i should have recognized it -_-

I do this all the time.

Lol, just tonight (in a dream) I was talking to a guy and he's like "My wife just admitted what she had done wrong in her journal" (I'm thinking "wow, they record wrong thing isn their journals?! I wonder if they have DJs...") He carrys on, "now that this is done I have this many lucid dreams a night" *shows me a piece of paper which has on it "12>>>>>>"
Me: OHHHH LUCKY

Ok, once I was lying down on the pavement, surrounded by chickens, telling everyone to be quiet because I was trying to have a lucid dream.

one dream i was flying and i wasnt lucid .. lol

I had a dream this morning in which I read the first words of an otherwise empty notebook. "Lucid dreaming is good for me!"

Another dream this morning I had moved, and my backyard forest was replaced with a lake. I said "I wonder how this will affect my dreams..."

I have more, better ones. I'll post those later.

LOL

I was reading a book in a dream to try to prove to my mum that you can read in dreams, although for some stpid reason i didnt know that i was actually dreaming while doing this test!

once i actually said "hey guys, i dreamed this happened once" when the roof was taken off one of the buildings at school without becoming lucid

The stupidest one I missed was the one on the day I had my first lucid dream (and it appeared in my first lucid). It was a the simple words "Lucid Dreamer" etched in the concrete of two different locations.

I dreamed I was trying to herd a bunch of cats out of my house but they just kept coming. I thought to myself..."this can't be real". I went over to my stove to read the name of it to see if I was dreaming but couldn't read the name of it. I told myself maybe the light was hitting the reflective surface wrong so I couldn't see it!

I had one where my wife and I were lounging on the beach. She gets up and dives into the water, tells me to come along. My exact words were, "If I dive in, I'll lose my lucidity!"

Not only was I not lucid, I didn't become lucid after that. Man, I detested myself when I woke up.

I had a dream where i was flapping my arms like a bird to get ontop of a building so me and my mates could break in. My friends didnt know how to get up so i told them just flap ya arms realy fast


One time i walked into my bedroom and my teddybear was sitting on my bed, i said to him "oh hallo harry" and the bear replied "im going to kill you" the bear had a tail and on the tip of it it was glowing blue and he was aiming it at me with a real evil look on his face.

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!

A few months ago - I was at a mall, and I looked in a mirror. My head was gone! My neck went right up into my hair and skipped my face. It should've been a glaring obvious sign that I was dreaming, but I didn't become lucid.

The whole dream paused, trying to make me notice but I didn't ...

ARRGGH !! I hit myself so hard when I woke up.
( This my first post cuz I couldn't make a new thread at the newbe section ( PC problem ) )

So hi every one

I remember a few weeks ago that I was dreaming about being in my dad's house... Something looked funny about a certain closet I was looking at; it was under construction and the closet in the waking world wasn't. I was like, 'dad, why is this closet like that'? And he was like, 'because you're dreaming, silly!' Best thing of my life because I actually became fully lucid.

Well it has happended to me loads of times so please post when it has happende to you.

--------------------------

Ive had ones where im discusing LDs to people in my dreams and i dont become Lucid or someone tells me im dreaming and i just dont get the hint. Last night i did an RC the one when you pinch your nose, and in the dream i thought that if you could breath while pinching your nose it ment you were not dreaming!

My friend came up to me and said hey man itisint this a cool dream? its so cool that were dreaming! then i told him that i cant become lucid becuase my dog was playing chess with the fish and he had him in checkmate.

------------------------------------------------------

I was in a castle and the whole dream was about lucid dreaming, and the guy i was talking to was telling me " when you are in a dream, like we are now, then its smart to do a reality check. but then i started staring at a painting of a demon. it was weird how vivid this dream was even though i wasent lucid.

Then I help herd one of the M&M guys (the red one) to the basement so he doesn't cause any trouble.

I have no idea how I missed becoming lucid in this one!

Somehow i didnt become lucid, and when i actually woke up, i seirously laughed about it. I can still vividly remember what my reflection looked like, lol.

These are all SOOO GOOD!

I once did Carlos Castaneda's, also known as the Hand Technique, where before going to bed you sit up and look at your hands and say something like "The next time I see my hands in a dream, I will become lucid." Well I had a dream where raccoons were attacking me (I have dreams where raccoons are attacking me often), but when I looked at my hands, they were all blue and beat up because of the raccoons biting them. That was the closest I've ever been to becoming lucid.

A week or so after I first became interested in lucid dreaming I had a near miss. I performed a reality check which involved changing the colour of a wall (stupid one i know). I couldn't change it so instead decided to go to my house and see if i was in bed or not .. I got to my house, checked my room, and my bed was empty... "ahh, cant be dreaming after all"... Just to make sure however i asked the family if i was dreaming or not.. They said no.. and i said... "Oh, nevermind then"...

Never trust dream characters, they be liars, all of them!

Once in my dream the world was flat and I fell off, and landed in a huge tank of killer whales then exclaimed "Someone needs to save these whales, they don't need to be in a tank", without ever becoming lucid.

I've had two dreams with whales in a tank and neither one became lucid. Maybe thats a dreamsign of mine

One time i was explaining to a bunch DCs what lucid dreaming was and i said "I could be dreaming right now... all i would need to become conscious would be some sort of dream sign" You can expect how pissed off i was that morning.

When I first started getting into lucid dreaming I would tell a lot of people about it and how cool it was.

I had a dream one of those nights where I was explaining to my Mom how hard it was to lucid dream, and she just had to believe in it to do it. I then performed a reality test and showed her that this was not a dream right now (even though it was...).

Oh my GOD! Last night I had a dream I was at work and I started staring at this red sticky pad. I say to myself in the dream "I'm going to start doing a reality check whenever I look at the red sticky pad". ... It would have been nice actually doing a reality check THEN !!!

I did a classic last night.

My friend offered me a cigarette, so I said, "OK, but I might not finish it, I don't have long to dream."

Not lucid!

So I have been meaning to ask my classmate if he has Lucid Dreams because he mentioned it a long time ago, I ended up asking him, IN MY DREAM!

Nothing else, I have missed things like people morphing.
