Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

One of the first times I tried WBTB, I set my alarm for something like 5:30. After being up for about 25 minutes I went back to sleep, after repeating the mantra "tonight I will lucid dream". Unfortunately, this carried over into the dream in entirely the wrong way, and I spent all night dreaming ABOUT trying to fall asleep and lucid dream while at college. If it had ocurred to me to reality check then things may have been different

Sounds familiar. The other night I dreamed I was trying to WILD and didn't RC. The next night I dreamed I was trying to WILD again and luckily that time I caught it with an RC.

Last night I had a dream where I was taking some really disgusting homeopathic medicine. Normally in real life, I'd plug my nose so that I wouldn't taste it, but it just so happens that I decided to drink it without plugging my nose this time. IF I'D PLUGGED MY NOSE, I'D HAVE REALIZED THAT I COULD STILL BREATHE!

I was jumping(huge jumps) around on floating islands and trees were growing and growing, trying to root me, my body was vibrating in colors, like when Mario picks up a shroom or flower. I was very skeptical about this and said in the dream, that I must be dreaming because this is not real. I didn't care and my dream went back to auto-pilot. I was so angry because I do RC every hour and question that "is this real?" and "how did I get here".

Being careless fail.

I had a dream a couple years ago when I was in Orgrimmar (from World of Warcraft) with a couple friends. My German teacher came up to me and said "hold your nose". I completely missed that.

first post!

did some research on "tension tamer tea" in real life, in my dream my brother had it, i remember the box perfectly, and i freaked out and told him that I've been trying to get it to lucid dream- and then his eyes got really wide, and his mouth hung open in shock, like he was trying to say something- like EXTREME excitement.... but i got none of it. hahah. maybe my dream brother is hinting at me.

Oh boy, here's another good one. The other night, I was dreaming about riding a bicycle. I decided I wanted to go for a bike ride in Crackley Wood (about 5 miles from where I live). I picked up a map, imagined myself there, and in a second I'd teleported myself to the gate at the entrance to the woods. For the entirity of the dream I was completely non-lucid.

Fuuuuuuuuuck.

Well I haven't read the other comments but one of my dreams I was talking to my best friend telling him all about lucid dreaming and how I wanted to have one when I woke up I literally laughed out loud. I think that's pretty hard to top.

Lol this one was a stupid one, but whatever I was dreaming I went to jail for a reason I can't remember, all the walls were white and padded... Might have been an insane asylum , But I remember someone saying jail. Anyway I was in there and I closed my eyes, and I was outside. I remember thinking cool, then my dream changed. Which should have been another clue.

I am running away form someone when I stop and turn around to see them standing there.
Me: I'm dreaming and no longer afraid of you so just go away.
DC: No you're not
Me: Yes I am, here I'll prove it will a simple nose plug RC. I pinch my nose fully and can still breath.
Me: Dammit you're right I can still breath through my plugged nose.
DC: See I told you you were not dreaming now run, I like to chase you.
Me: Oh alright. (in a defeated tone)
I start to run again and hear the DC laugh an evil laugh as he begins to chase me.

I wake up shortly after this and smack my forehead for not realizing me still breathing meant I was dreaming and the RC was positive LOL. I have had more then one dream like this as I use this RC often in RL and in dreams.

I was on Dream Views, reading a thread by Mzzkc. The thread was about stupid ways people miss becoming lucid. I was reading his post, and I laughed. I then proceeded to say "He should do reality checks more often, like me." I woke up after reading five pages of the thread.

I was sitting at the big dinner table at home, with lots of relatives and friends. There was this extremely hot chick sitting next to me, never seen her before in real life, but it was like I knew her from somewhere. Anyways, I'm enjoying my dinner and suddenly this chick turns to me, rams her tongue in my mouth and grabs my dick She's really going at it, and we stop, and dinner resumes... One other funny thing was, for a few seconds it was like I was seeing through a camera in the back of my throat, so I could see her tongue going crazy in my mouth for a few seconds, then it went back to first person.

HOW COULD I HAVE MISSED THAT?

I dreamt I was watching Inception and didn't think to RC

This morning, I was thinking about incubating a MILD during a dream.

Also last night, I was talking to one of my teachers about watching Breaking Bad WHILE I WAS HELPING WALTER AND JESSE OUT WITH THEIR COOKING.

FFS, my dream-self is retarded.

2 nights in a row, now, I've been right on the verge of becoming lucid, but been too distracted by what I was doing in the dream. God damn.

Yesterday I missed an oppurnity:

i was on a funeral of someone I didn't know at all and in the middle of the ceremony, our schooldirector came in, danced, jumped, was listening to an i-pod and sang the chorusline of "Can't stop feeling" (a song of Franz Ferdinand) which goes : "And you can't feel anymore" *sarcasm*. And it seemed to me normal

I remembered two dreams from last night. One involved a realistic scenario which somehow (I'm still not sure how) prompted me to do a reality check and become lucid, before becoming too excited and waking up.

My next dream involved professional basketball players playing skeeball with pretzels in a fancy stadium.
A reality check never occurred to me.

I hate it I become lucid in the most realistic dreams sometimes but in a dream that I was patching holes in a boat with song lyrics the thought never occured to me that it could have been a dream. I moved my hand over a hole and just heard music that wasnt really even there I just felt like I was hearing music and the holes werent there when my hand passed over them........

Yesterday I went and kissed a friend of mine on the cheek while she was filling a beer glass, a friend I had just helped out and made sure she kept her job at Merlot's from true blood. While I did this I was picking up my dream journal to write about a dream, never bothered to reality check

Haha that reminds me I had a dream with sookie in it once and it wasnt lucid

I've said this in another thread somewhere

My mom was on the phone, I said "Mom!" to try and get her attention, she got an annoyed look on her face and said to the person on the other line "Ya, he still hasn't realized that he's dreaming yet, I'll have to call you back"

flew right over my head >.<

That's gold.

I got onto dreamviews.com, saw two friends of mine that are into lucid dreaming had a conversation on here, one is a girl i like, the other is my best friend. They talked about something that made me mad for some reason and I confronted them in person, but after arguing for about a minute I said "whatever I am just going to go lucid dream" and I went to my bed and closed my eyes. Dream ended.

Really don't know how I didn't notice especially since I logged onto this site and even talked about lucid dreaming...

Boy do I have a story for you guys - this just happened to me in this morning's dream.

I was in a very vivid surreal 3d environment/world, sort of 3d nature in shades of blue/purple, where I did stuff like catch a beautiful butterfly and it turned out to be quite sticky. All the while I was saying stuff like "I do not belong to this reality" - not sure if that was the exact phrasing - stuff like "your reality doesn't correspond to my own". I then began constructing a teleport/portal to my own world (construct in the strategy game sense of the word where the construction is abstract and happens automatically), I accidentally built 2, however instead of teleports I built like a playground+hut x2. I was surprised by this "glitch" and thought this could be a dream, however I don't think I did a proper RC and soon forgot about the possibility of this being a dream.

there was an explosion. of walnuts. from basketball hoops.
