Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

Last night I dreamed I was in my back yard with my friends, all of us wearing tuxedos. They wanted me to crush an empty can on the ground, so I decided there on the spot that my tuxedo had two jetpack thrusters on my shoulders; I flew up into outerspace, turned back and flew down to Earth and punched the aluminum can against the ground, flattening it totally. I then continued with the dream as if nothing was amiss.

The funny thing is I'd been thinking of thinking about attaining flight that way in a dream for most of the previous day, and I wasn't even lucid when I did it. I just started dream recall last week. XD

I successfully MILDed. 2 hours after I woke, I forgot the whole dream except for the fact that I was lucid.

time to work on dream recall.

This has happened to me many times! Lol. Just put a paper and pen by your bed and write it as soon as you wake up - even at 5AM

I keep a tape recorder by my bed, but whenever I listen to what I record later it sounds almost incoherent due to my sleepy mumbling.

I had sex with my brothers girlfriend..

LMAO!

IRL, the light on my watch broke. I thought "Oh cool, now I have another dream sign. If the light on my watch works, I know I'm dreaming!"

Last night, I had a dream, and I hit the light button on my watch, and it worked. Rather than go lucid, I said: "Stink. The light works again! Now I can't use it as a dream sign."

Haha man that sucks!


Last night I had a dream that the floor in this school was like walking on a trampoline and I kept saying "why the hell is it so hard to walk on this?! why is the floor like this! It's not normal!" :[

Last night I dreamed of hanging out with a brother and sister for quite some time in their house. The brother was some sort of computer billionaire, and the house was full of giant moving toys, robots, a huge blue time machine. None of that made me think I might be dreaming, but eventually, when I was sitting at a table talking with the brother, the idea of dreaming crossed my mind. Obviously, I was not dreaming--everything was so vivid--but I decided to humor myself and counted the fingers on one hand: 5. Yep, just as I thought: not dreaming. And then the brother (DC) and I shared a little chuckle that I could have been so silly as to think I was dreaming. :-)

I am the library TA at school.
the assistant principal called me in telling me about complaints people had about me that day, then showed me laminated excuses written on post-its. I started thinking about what I did to get complaints, the didn't remember anything else from that day. I started trying to remember what it meant when I couldn't remember something from the same day, when I had to wake up IRL. Then I realised that it meant I was dreaming.

Me: "That train isn't normally here..."
DC: "Maybe this is a dream?"
Me: "Hmmm... Nah."

This happened when I was little
Me: Am I dreaming?
Sis: Yes...
Me: Oh so I can fly right?
Sis: Yeah.
Me: Cool. *I go upstairs and start watching TV*

This one was more recent.

I was in my basement talking to my mom.
All of a sudden she transforms into an octopus.
And it was totally normal!!

this was recent, too.

I was this palace place...And it was haunted by ghosts. Only I could see them. The owner couldn't. Nor could anyone else at all. These gghosts had weird shapes. One looked like a werewolf ghost, one looked like an ogre ghost...They were firing spells at me trying to kill me. Later on I though oooooh ok im dreaming! They can't hurt me! Then I stood there and let the werewolf grab me and I said "Kill me. Just kill me" I was sick of the pressure of hiding and running from them and I wasn't scared of dying.
It basically took me inside of itself which felt sooooo cool I felt kinda heavy like it was possessing me! It took me hiiiigh in the air, then I thought wait...If it drops me, Its gonna harm my real physical body too!! oh no......
It confuses me even now. I was dreaming, but my body was actually there? Don't get it at all. Probably never will lol.

Another thing, off topic, my first lucid dream, I was playing with my best friend and this other DC who was apparently my other friend.
Did totally awesome stuff with them. it was so fun...Then we went on an iceburg and I said "OK its time for me to go now."
We were in a black hole and I let myself fall and I KNEW I WOULD WAKE UP! How stupid is that? I ended my own lucid dream and I was aware that I was ending it! gahh!
It was cool though as soon as I let go of the cloud i was holding on to, i saw myself falling from above. And as soon as I couldn't see myself at all, what a surprise, I woke up.
And I was sooo mad. I was all like WOW! Whyyy did I do that??? I didn't wanna wake up!

Just last night I had a lucid dream, and then I did the spinning technique. I had a false awakening in which the cat was curled up with me in bed even though I had shut my door that night. I assumed that, because the lights were off, I was not dreaming.

A perfect example of dream logic.

I sparta kicked a guy in my science class. He fell over the arm of a desk behind him and did a backflip busting his lip on the ground. Here, giant chunks of flesh and a pool of blood formed, but he was up and walking fine. My teacher called the disciplinary guy at our school and I ran like hell. My friend got in his van. I hung onto the bike bars on top of the minivan and we tried to do a getaway.

Last night: I was in a church and all my DC's were chanting: "There is no reality!" And then the preacher yelled back "Why is there no reality?" and they reply: "Because we're not real!" I mean...wtf, total miss.

I was taking a shit, eating greasy chinese food, and getting a BJ.

If that isn't something that never happens in reality.... you're a god.

Had a dream i was on this forum (I know, should've been lucid from that) and was reading a post by someone (Can't remember who, didn't write that down) and their signature said "Are you dreaming?" And dumb*** me just sat there reading the posts...

I was looking at my hands, counting my fingers. I first counted seven, then six.
Thinking that I was simply miscounting the whole time.

Wow, I am such an idiot.

I think I had one where someone told me straight up that I was dreaming...

Last night I dreamed that there were 3 new houses in a field close to where I live. While I was trying to figure out how they got there my brother told me that the world only changes when I'm asleep, but I didn't understand what he meant.

I've spent entire dreams talking about all of the things I've learned about lucid dreams without realizing I'm dreaming. Also, I seem to visit the same place in Mexico almost every other day and somehow I never make that connection in my dream. And also, I've been having a lot of dreams where I'm about fifteen years older than I am now and I have a family and everything and I never stop to question when this ever happened.

I've actually asked myself the question "Am I dreaming?" while in a dream and I still didn't become lucid.

I only just got another "I am dreaming! Go lucid already!!" then the apathy kicked in and it just turned into a normal dream.

People's heads were exploding all around me. My friends head started shaking and I told him "Your head's not going to explode, because this just a dream!" Damn it.
