Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

In one dream I had, a friend of mine and I were having a party and we were waiting on a catering person to show up with food. The person showed up and it was the same friend... And instead of asking myself why in the world there were two of the same person in existence, I turned to the original friend i was holding the party with and told her "you didnt tell me you worked for a catering company! we could have spent a lot less money."
I felt really dumb when I woke up.
In another dream I had I was leaving a class and going down some stairs and there was a gigantic cardboard box blocking the way (around 20 feet long 10 feet wide and 10 feet tall) and I just got really annoyed my college would leave a box like this blocking the way as I climbed over it. I kind of wish I could go back to that dream and check in the box to see what my subconscious would fill it with...

Ok, here's one ...

I once had a false awakening I was REALLY sick. I went to my dad and told him I can't go to school cuz i'm sick, but he said ' how are u sick when ur just dreaming '

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 :-P

Years ago before I knew about lucid dreaming I had a dream that I was locked in my cousins basement when I realized, "shit I'm in a dream, now I'm gonna have to wait till I wake up to get outta here" so I just sat in a chair waiting for the dream to end. If I only knew the things I could do!

:welcome: to everyone on this page! :)

I had one this morning, I was at some place that sells gravel. I had the little grey cat named smokey with me. I was thinking why would I be standing at a place that sells gravel with the cat. I kept thinking its a dream but woke up.

Well, I was in a dream where my friends and I were playing soccer. My friend kicked the ball and it got stuck in the door handle of a house. We all ran into my house (my house which looks nothing like my house) and my friend went over, opened the door in which the ball was stuck, grabbed the ball and ran to my house. A woman came out of that house, went up to us and told us to give her back her arm (her left arm was missing) we look at some stairs at my house, and there it was, her arm, crawling towards us. She picks her arm up and attaches it to her shoulder. I thought, maybe I should do a RC, and then my friend said, "don't even bother, it obviously isn't a dream" so I didn't do a RC. When I woke up I thought, how on earth didn't I become lucid.

I hate those cunning DCs :D But not all of them are bad, my last LD was partially induced by my brotherDC :D

Recently I was running down the street. I said outloud:
"Why is it that I have so much trouble running everytime I am in a dream," but it didn't even occur to me that I was asleep. Stupid.

Something similar to this happened to me last week:
I was being held captive in some war, and a guy was pointing a gun at me deciding whether to kill me or not, I started talking non-sense with him and thought "Maybe if I keep wasting his time my dream scenario will change" however I had no idea I was dreaming lol, it was weird

Heh. Makes me wonder if all these RCs during the day will even help me with DILD.

Yeah, I prefer to couple them with MILD. Autosuggestion is a very powerful tool; essentially, you talk yourself into stuff, which is why it works the way it does. If you tell yourself you're dreaming often enough, you actually begin to believe it on some level, and it helps you approach the world in a more observant manner...

I definitely need to start doing some reality checks in real life to make it something I would think about when I'm asleep. What I great idea! All my LD's to date have been randomly triggered, though it's usually because I don't like having nightmares, so I usually take control enough to change the plot.

Anyways, some dream signs I've missed... geez just yesterday morning, I dreamed I was visiting my mum at work and... she doesn't work.

Anytime I'm in a public place naked (I don't get drunk enough for this to potentially happen IRL lol)

Any dream where I'm using super powers and I don't LD... this really needs to be looked into

I don't yet have kids, but I had an infant in my dream who was capable of walking and talking...

Things like that...

In some of my dreams a common sign I have is I'm looking for a clock, but I can't find one or the clock somehow "forbidden" to look at... I usually get some sense of excitement but don't remember what it was about. I think this was probably because I became lucid for a moment and then forgot about it for the rest of the dream.

Weird... thinking about this I must've had quite a few partly lucid dreams where I didn't remember becoming lucid.

Lol'd

I was shooting at aliens coming down from the sky and a fat old woman shot me with a bb rifle.
HOW DID I NOT REALIZE I WAS DREAMING?

Do I sense a catch-phrase for this thread?

I was having this dream where Mzzkc was summoning Flintstone-style dinosaurs from a time portal. HOW DID I NOT BECOME LUCID?

I had a dream where I found 1,5m no-tobacco joint and it was trying to run away from me. HOW DID I NOT BECOME LUCID? :D :D :D

There are only two ways that i always miss becoming lucid when i do miss becoming lucid, the main reason is by letting what a dc say stop me from doing what i want to do, then i loose lucidity, and the next one is by missing my obvious dream sign.

Me and my friends were on some weird wood boards, being pulled by flying whales (yes flying whales), and chased by Hitler on a speed boat. He was shooting us, but he wasnt shooting bullets at us, but rather pokeballs. We got away from Hitler, and my friend and I started doing C-walk, except we were wearing roller skates. After that, Dinosaurs came off a cloud and started humping each other, and we all lived.... eerrrrrr... happily ever after?
HOW DID I NOT BECOME LUCID?

I was walking down the street at night talking to someone when a UFO appeared in the sky. UFOs are probably my most common dreamsign. I then turned around to talk to the DC about how important it is I do a reality check every single time I happen to see a UFO and something like it. Damn DC was really supportive aswell.

Many times I had dreams telling people about this brilliant lucid dreaming i've been doing - only to wake up and realise that it was itself a dream.

I recently had a dream where there were tons and tons of stars, and I thought now thats really odd. I continued in the dream to try and find a constellation but there was a ridiculous amount of stars so I couldn't find it. Then all of a sudden the stars decided to label themselves in nice glowing writing so I could see them. I then turned around to take a pencil photograph of my cat by holding a piece of paper towards it, and watched my boots melt into the floor.

Sometimes you can't help but think theres no hope when you miss things like this haha.

First post here. I am in the processes of learning to become lucid. Last night I had a dream where I was blatantly hitting some one in the face on the ground repeatedly with the edge of a blunt sword and it was as if I was hitting rock or steel the sword would just bounce off leaving this person's face unmarked. I remember questioning myself in my dream why this is not happening as it should. Woke up awhile later from the same dream and was really ticked, so obvious. If I only would have questioned the situation a bit longer...

A bunch of people and myself were racing to the top of a mountain. I took a shortcut and was ahead of everybody. There was a big crowd behind me; I threw up my middle fingers and kept walking. The path looked solid, but I fell. I fell off a cliff and landed flat on my face, but it didn't hurt.

I slapped myself when I woke up.

Here is a dream I had 2 weeks ago:
I walk into a store and as I browse products on the shelf, I see a box that says "Lucid Dreaming Kit, let your dreams come alive" I thought "heh I don't need that, that's for newbs" and just walked away, not even having the slightest thought I may be dreaming.

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.

So hi every one :-P

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.

I was in a cafe discussing my dreamsigns, and said one of them was to suddenly get dizzy. Then I suddenly got dizzy. I was like "Obviously I'm not dreaming now, but that's exactly what it's like!"

Ugh, last night I had this dream where I was in this weird waterpark, it was kinda like a disco, but on water and it was really cool. I told to myself, next time I lucid dream, Ill go to a place like this one. Then I did a reality check (plugged my nose) and I was able to breathe, and I thought to myself "Damn, I hate when reality checks work in real life" I wanted to shoot myself when I woke up.

Ughhh I just woke up from a dream where, I was trying to dial my boyfriend's cell number, and I kept screwing it up. Like I'd either dial most of it and hit the End button and erase it all, or I just wasn't even dialling the right phone number at all. I stopped walking, stared at my phone and thought, "Technology doesn't work properly in dreams. This has got to be a dream, that's why I'm having so much problems with my phone!" I looked around me for my first RC and thought, "Nah, everything looks too real to be a dream." And continued on walking.

What the hell!

I was dreaming once, and I look up and think "Hey... Its always overcast or dark in your dreams right? Its not usually sunny.. I might be dreaming!" I then said "But Im too lazy to RC so I won't bother" and continued on with the dream.

Ha ha thats great!
For me my best RC recently is to ask myself if I am dreaming. Ever since I started its always seemed to happen in my dreams each night. Usually when I ask this I get a dizzying wave of consciousness immediately.

Thats how my first LD started 2 nights ago... I'll try more like these :P

Last night I was trying to WILD and I remember my Dad coming into my room and yell at me to wake up and mow the back yard. I just kept my eyes closed and ignored him because I knew I didn't live with my parents anymore and he was distracting me from trying to lucid dream. I woke up and was so pissed but luckily when I fell back asleep it was into the same dream so I became lucid.

So he was a Hallucination?

yeah it was a hallucination.

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

last month I was trying to show some figures I saw on a daylight fullmoon to a DC, when she started to yell out really louder: "Oh my god! I saw those figures during my dreams!". Then I told her: "Yes, but don't forget to question reality. Have you wondered if this is a dream?"
I didn't!!!:yddd:

Holy crap, those are hilarious!:lol: " 'Damn, I hate when reality checks work in real life' ". Ha!

So, my worst one. I was reading a Looney Toons DK book when I saw that one of the pictures had a caption that said 'lucid Daffy'. So I was like, "Oh, that says lucid, like in a lucid dream! Huh!" And I kept reading. The picture even came alive, and I wasn't convinced. I woke up in a daze for a moment, and when I remembered I thought ''DAMMIT''!

That one is definitely the best. :D

I remember a few....

My dream last night, I turned around and looked at my house then when I turned back around there was a carnival in my backyard where the woods were supposed to be.. like wtf, how did I not realize somethin was up??

Then, once I was underwater in a swimming pool breathing and I just thought it was cool, didn't really know I was in a dream...

vvvv These are from when I was young vvvv

Also, I levitated my swing set and was like "omg finally I learned that spell! (Harry Potter....); Another one like this... I was dueling Hermione lmao. I just kept doing the Leviouso (spelling?) spell to make her fly up.

I bought soda, popcorn, and candy for under 5 dollars.

I did a WILD, I did RCs and they failed, then my brother spawned from nowhere (he lives at 1h30 from my house) and said I don't need to be lucid to have fun and we went on an epic journey across de world.

wowww! Last night my friend asked me in my dream why I wasn't Lucid yet!! Come on... :[ Was only my second night trying though..

Hahah, awesome stuff guys and gals.

I got a few aswell:

I had a dream a while ago where i looked into the mirror and I had no skin.. I could see all my muscles and I got a bit freaked out and ran down and asked my mom what was wrong with me (shes a nurse) and she responded " Dont worry its just a side effect from the soup you ate for dinner. And I just tought: ah.. ok.



Also last night I were going in for a WILD after visiting the fourm.
Anyway It was all going really well, I was repating to myself: "When I am dreaming I will see my hands and realize i am dreaming."
after some repeating I decided i wanted to try to choose out what kind of scene I was going to enter and I went for a sex dream with a hot girl I know.. as I entered the dream It felt like I was draged back out of the scene and a bright light started growing really fast then it sounded like something short-circuited and it felt like i had seen the light behind me and when I opened my eyes in shock right after, it felt as if they had been staring in to the back of my head and rolled back forth when I opened them :S did a reality check but apears I was awake.. I'm not 100% sure that I woke up though, might have been a BTB / FA? (not quite steady on the meaning of those two :P) because I went back to sleep again after a while. :P

Ether way It was really freaky heeheh :)

after going back to sleep I had a dream where I dreamt I was fighting Zombies inspired by L4D (left 4 dead) apearently but I some way was affected by starwars and Gears of war at the same time.. because after a while the monsters that came in waves from a coridor seemed to turn into robots and all of a suden I got these two small objects that I could atach to the palm of my hands and use as lazer guns. It was really neat, was almost like casting spells :D but after a while the coridor changed into a white marbel coridor that was somewhat bigger and white curtains came down just in time to seperate me and a metal / zombie cat .. I backed up abit and noticed that my orblike lazer guns were not working and so I decided I'd just kick the robot really hard in the face.. but just after I kicked it in the face I tought to myself for some readson: HEY! what if that wasnt a monster but my cat? So I lifted up the curtain and saw my cat lying there bleeding and I were like argh.. darn it! Why does my dreams always change in the last minute!?

I could have punched myself for not geting lucid from that :P!

He he. Its weird how things just go over our head in dreams. How you can find the plainest of jokes hilarious, or you can be the best of friends with someone you don't even know. And, of course, can ignore your subconscious trying to make you lucid.

I was talking about the best way to attain lucidity for me with an old man in my dreams and later I tried to do a WILD inside my dreams with me getting basic HI before somebody woke me up and then badgers with weird fur turned into cats after they died...

Just the other night I was talking to a DC about something I can't quite remember and near the end of the conversation I asked him his name and he said "Sponge Bob". He looked rather embarrassed about it and I told him that he could probably have it changed. I walked away without giving it a second thought. When I woke up I couldn't believe I had missed something so silly.

Great. Last night I dreamed I was watching Vanilla Sky (a movie about lucid dreaming) with my friend, didn't even think about doing a RC.

I attained a sort of fake lucidity in which I thought and acted as if I was lucid and did remembered things but my logic was completely off and I thought I was asleep in the place I was dreaming about.
I looked at my hands and they were screwed up, and my watch was going crazy, but I thought that was the way it was suppose to be. :(

The night before last I had a zombie dream which normally makes me lucid but didnt. Before I knew about LDing I used to kill myself in a zombie dream to wake myself up and i did the same that night. I was in London and I jumped in the Thames. I was trying to breathe in the water to die quicker but it just felt like I was breathing normally. I cant believe that I missed it! It was the weirdest feeling ever.

Zombies are one of my dreamsigns! and before I knew about LDing I used to kill myself too to wake up lol, I remember this one dream where there was a zombie in my house and I thought, well this is a dream, I'll let the zombie kill me so I wake up, so I went where the zombie was and I said " I Know this is a dream and I won't feel any pain, kill me" then the zombie said " I'll kill you, but trust me, I'll make it hurt" When he said that I got so scared I woke up.

Anyways, last night I had a dream where I had just woken up and started recording a dream in my dream journal, and the funny thing is, that the dream I was recording was an actual dream from last night, in which my friend and I were discussing about lucid dreaming. I missed 2 chances of becoming lucid last night :(

Sometimes I embrace creepy things like zombies. I let them eat me. It doesn't hurt but it feels strange. Then I become a zombie and the dream turns awesome. :D

Oh my fricken god.
I had a dream where this girl was showing me a device that allowed her to lucid dream. We used it to go inside her lucid dream. Oh my god. The whole thing was about lucidity, but I just went with it like a fool.

High Five! Lol im glad im not the only one who dreams about zombies regularly, I dont know if you enjoy them but I do :) Shaun of the Dead is on tonight so I will be watching that.. that might bring on a dream where hopefully i will become lucid and not miss it like I usually do.

Ive never had a zombie talk to me though.. once I asked one to tell me the funniest joke they know but she just gave me a blank look :lol:

@Loaf: In that dream I ended up getting bitten on my hand but I woke up as soon as I turned into one. In my dream it is common knowledge that zombies are blind.. Duh :D

Zombies are also one of my dreamsigns, they occupied about 60% of my dreams a couple of months ago. I didn't enjoy them at all. They got really boring quickly.

:D

I was walking or jogging down a corridor in my college, and without stopping or even slowing down, I managed to lie down and continued travelling on my back, sliding along the ground. This didn't make me lucid, instead I just rested my hands behind my head and enjoyed the movement.
Another time, I was escaping from lots of angry green hulk guys which were all over the place by bouncing to incredible heights around my town. At one point I did think that this must be a dream, but then I thought "This is too damn fun!" and I carried on.

I managed to have a dream last night with no less than 5 of my dream signs in it: cats, weird teeth, New York City, places from my past, and crystals. I only became lucid after all this and then lay there marveling at how i could have missed all these!

I was teaching people to become lucid and was levitating etc. and I didn't notice. Whoops. :roll:

I was playing the Sims and I was an object you could buy called "Lucidity Rug" and then I said "I can't wait to go to sleep". 0_0

Let's see... I was teaching my friend how to lucid dream.
I was exploring dreamviews (lol, I just did a RC right after writing that).
My school was a cruise and it had a Live Mario Party event in which they stated that Bowser was actually a fox (really, I don't know where my subconscious picked up all that)

Usually, I tend to see animals that don't exist, people in places that they shouldn't be, and an oddly coloured sky.

In fact, most of my dreams have had an oddly coloured sky (usually green or yellow, but with white clouds). I never seem to take any notice though.

Yes, I'm a noob. :(

iv had a zombie grab my hand and put it in a hole in his skull and started sawing my hand off with his...skull, i thought it was real apparently ;p

I had this dream where this voice kept saying "your dreaming!" It eventually turned into "YOU ARE DREAMING YOU STUPIDASS!" or something like that, yet, I didn't care.

Last night, I had a dream where I was outside on the street, and I asked myself, "I wonder what I could do if this was a dream..." I looked up at a street light and it was bent in on itself.

I shot myself when I woke up.

Couple of nights ago, I was sitting down thinking about how much I wanted to have a LD later. I kept thinking "I should do some RCs right now.", because my hands were green and my fingernails were 2 inches long. Next to me, on my phone, a message came up on the screen that said "Are you dreaming right now?" It had a button for yes or no, so I pressed no. :eek:

I had a dream that I was attempting to get SP an dHI to go lucid, so I saw the animus laoding screan with a 100% counter at 98%

Then I had a dream talking to my teacher about how dumb it was that I had a dream about dreaming.

I was dreaming about dreaming about dreaming

i was psised when I woke up, considering those two dreams were after 5 dreams before them. Three which had brown skies - my main dream sign..

ok so on my first night trying to lucid dream i was doing reality checks all night while awake so that i could do it in my dream. well, in my dream i did the hold your nose to see if you can still breathe reality check and i was shouting in my dream all excited "IM LUCID DREAMING ! I'M LUCID DREAMING!" and i dont remember after that xD :shock:

LOL

You got too excited!

Hell, i had a dream about dremaing
and a dream about dreaming about dreaming.


and a dream about dreaming about dreaming about dreaming.

same night

I had a dream a few months ago that my high school junior year history teacher assigned me an essay on dreamsigns. I went home, actually wrote out the entirety of the essay in my dream (which was oddly vivid), presented my essay to the class, and woke up. I never thought to do a reality check.

On the subject of zombies: They make possibly the best dreams ever. Hell, I remember a dream I wrote down before I even became interested in LDing, simply because it was so awesome.

I had a dream last night that I was attending a seminar on "Internal Puppy Relations".

lol @ LRT!

I have a recurring dream sign that I'm back in the military which I keep missing! I keep telling myself that when I next see it I'll recognize it, and several times I have actually questioned if it's a dream and concluded that it isn't. I think it's the excitement of being back there that's stopping me from becoming lucid! Still, imagine how good it would be becoming lucid in such a place!

HAHAHAHA...

Where do you come up with these things? That's awesome though!

well the other night i had a dream that i was in a sewer with a bunch of prison inmates and this girl. There was a bug buzzing around me and i actually told the girl that iif we killed the bug, i would turn lucid. and i couldnt kill it, so i didnt become lucid. twas lame

Lol, totally my thread.

I think my worst was this one time (that I've told like a million times lol) when I was dreaming about my brother... only to wake up and find... I don't have a brother! wtf! xD

I was the Flash.

There were two guys (an old one and a young one with a wacky beard) and I was talking to them about lucid dreaming. I asked them if they'd been lucid before, and they said "not yet". I was saying things like "you know, if I were asleep right now and this were a dream, I'd totally be in an awesome lucid dream!"

I woke up and slapped myself for being so stupid XD!

I was in the woods running away from something with some people. we hid in a shed that had no roof and i looked up and saw hundreds of zombies flying on gliders. I never became lucid.. ridiculous lol

I was breathing under water, enough said.

Rofl, in my dream I actually attempted WILD, and I failed, instead I fell asleep in my dream, rofl.

I was mad when I woke up. I was in my house with my friend. The floorplan was the exact same. I was trying to become lucid by looking at the center pole-thing sticking up in the center of our washer. So my friend asked why I was looking in our washer, and I told him to shut up, I was trying to have a lucid dream.

On multiple occasions I have floated about and told people how I can fly "just like this" in my dreams. :angry:

I was jumping into a WILD...It was very vivid too. A black guy was near approaching me with a white guy in a car next to him with his window down. I told myself like a fool "If I am dreaming, I will go and punch him in the face." I proceeded towards the innocent person, swung at him, then it suddenly faded and snapped me out of it.

in one dream, i was in school and one of the staff told me i was in indiana (i live in new york). i believed her for a bit until i finally realized "no, this is new york" and argued with her about it. i reality checked and realized it was a dream. then i thought, "should i become lucid? .... nah, too lazy" and proceeded through the rest of the dream acting like a dumbass.

This morning during my VOSSA my mom shot me, no pain. It was instant death, and went third person when I was shot. It showed a skull and my name in gold, as if I was playing call of duty headquarters.

I then yelled at my mom "DON'T KILL ME LIKE THAT I WAS FREAKIN LUCID DREAMING!!!"

I remember a while ago, I had a dream where I picked up our couch with one hand and walked through a wall while still holding it.. :embarrassed:

Omg Too Funny!

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

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!

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! :doh:

These are all SOOO GOOD!

Happened to me twice last night.

The first, time, I was talking to someone about lucid dreaming. I said "Ok, when I dream tonight, this EXACT SITUATION that we are in right now will happen, and that's how I'll know I'm dreaming." My subconscious is an ironic bitch.

Also, last night, I had the thought "most cats have trouble talking, but this one's pretty good.". It wasn't even a cat. It was like, one of those catgirls Slayer's on about. It was literally a teenage girl with cat ears (I know I'm torturing you, Slayer)

There was a cow in my room. I would expect such from my brother, and cannot doubt his ability. Chuck Norris, being as epic as he is, may have helped.

Last night, I had a dream that I was lying on the floor of my bedroom with five or six of my friends, and we were fanned out in a circle. There was some teacher there too, saying 'stay still, we're almost there!' (I guess it was some sort of WILD thing).

I then felt myself go numb and saw dream imagery appear, but it was dark and hazy. Then I woke up. x_x

Within 4 days of each other.

I was walking into my bathroom and an apparent friend of mine who I don't know got in my house without myself letting him (That's not odd). He told me wasup (my name) wanna drop some acid with me. I was like sure and ate two tabs I came-up in 5 seconds (Yet again not strange) and I finally walked into my bathroom and looked in the mirror.

It exploded into 3d fractals that started bleeding it all faded and turned into myself in the mirror rippling and watching my pupils dilate fully and then go near invisible. I thought I was trippin so I didn't think nothing of it.

Then I had a dream I was in class and I was like can I go to the bathroom (just to talk to a friend), there's something wrong or something so we just go back to class and then 5 mins later I ask to go to the bathroom again, teachers wasted from drinking hard alcohol says sure and I find one. I go in and open the door slightly (I want to look in the mirror cause everything seems weird) and see this fat mexican kid I know singing loudly (he does this irl) and my straight edge friend is holding the door and saying Dude were smoking shit and he's like want a hit. So I say sure and inhale smoke coming through the door and say I have to go back to class.

My dream signs apparently are drugs and not being able to get in the bathroom or look in the mirror.

Missed Opportunity! (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

This dream was long and detailed, but I don't have a lot of time, so I can't write it all out. One part which stood out for me was the most ridiculous way I've missed becoming lucid ever.

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GdEMJm_i_l...stupid+guy.jpg
Idiot

My dad was giving me a lift to my friend Hugh's house, which is about a 15 minute drive away. He somehow got there after 30 seconds, having only turned two corners and gone via a town 60 miles away. Later in the dream, I was telling some friends about the ride,
"It was amazing, like magic or something!" I laughed. My own stupidity astounds me...

---

Once in a dream when a huge godzilla was coming my way from other side of the down I thought: "This would be a perfect dream to become lucid" and then just carried on with my unlucid business..

Couple of times I have herd myself thinking in the dream "I cant become lucid in this dream, I have no body"..while I was just hovering over something or viewing something from a distance..

I was once stark-naked in the middle of the Arctic being chased by some people with tranquiliser guns...
Arctic, cold... Naked... Bad... Honestly I don't see how it's even physically possible for any kind of sub-conscious to not put those things together :roll:

After my last post to this thread I saw a dream where I was thinking: I should become lucid, but I missed it - I will defenently post it to dreamviews forum...--without ever becoming lucid..

A couple of days ago I realised my mother was an android.

Tonight I was out in a boat with my father, and we passed a Star Trooper in a Star Wars style turret.

I didn't even suspect something was wrong.

:D

I was traveling in Florida...all the way across the US! Then I ran into the last 4 US Presidents and talked to them for a while!
I also ended up in a large house with girls everywhere that wanted to party!
It was hot and humid. I never realized that I was lucid...crap!

I pull my phone out of my pocket and 3 phones all the same fell out, I looked down and proclaimed "Cool...phones!"

I dreamt I was watching a video, and was told that the video was effective in inducing lucid dreaming. But not once did I realise that it was a dream! Annoying, but a good sign that I could be getting there...

lastnight, with a hot chick who was shirtless in a skirt going down a busy road in broad daylight (it was night about 30 seconds before) and 6 other chicks came out of nowhere. All hot mexican girls in green skirts and pink shirts. They all wanted to do me, and the hsirtless chick had only half of her boobs (the top half was cut off)

I even did a reality check.

Nope, not lucid.

A big chocolate bunny exploded and no one cared less about it. I thought i was a special person because i could only see it.

Didn't occur to me that giant chocolate bunnies don't appear randomly in your neighborehood and explode randomly.

My subconscious mind is SO tricky. I did WBTB, and put my earphones in, playing a mp3 file that says "Andres you're dreaming, do a reality check." Well I fell asleep, and I was having a dream in which I was talking to my friend, who knows about lucid dreaming. Then I heard the voice, but the way my mind decided to incorporate this into the dream, was that, in my dream I was showing the mp3 file to my friend!! And I was telling him "Just remember, I am Andres, not you, but even though it says my name it should work for you!" So I didn't do a reality check and didn't realize I was dreaming :(

I was having a dream I was in a group session (something I've never done)
with Dr. Drew. I was talking to the group, about all things, lucid dreaming.
I told the story of my first lucid dream in detail, as Dr. Drew continually nodded his head in acknowledgement.

How on Earth did I ever get through that with out it triggering my lucidity.
I don't know Dr. Drew on a person level. I've never been in group therapy and I was explaining in detail lucid dreaming, in a dream, and still did not become lucid.

I came out of a lucid the other day, and I woke up in a futuristic looking university classroom. The lights were off, and there was a screen at the front of the room. The screen was showing the lucid I had JUST woken up from. Apparently, this class was dedicated to lucid dreaming, and they were all discussing things in the dream and how I could've stabilized better.

I had one the other day. I was driving a white tractor up a extremely steep hill with a apple orchard on the hill. The ground caved in and I ended up in some kind of different world and was captured by these huge people. The women were about 7ft tall and there was one guy about 8ft, kindof greenish skin and he had 2 human size eyes where one eye should be. The women had 2 eyes not 4 like this guy had. There was about 8 people captured there in some old sawmill. Jessica Alba was one of them. The monster dude sent us on some kind of scavenger hunt and said if we found this thing in X amount of time they would let us go. I dont remember the name of the thing we were looking for but I thought it was part of a table saw. Our time was almost up and we didnt find what we needed. Since I knew they would kill us I was looking at this bow saw hanging on a nail. I was looking at the monster guy sitting in a chair thinking I could saw his head of with my super strenght I have in dreams. I was to scared to try it because I didnt know if it was a dream or not.

Last night I was in Pandora's flux. In front of me was Smiegel, Gollum, Legolas, and a Jockey from Left 4 Dead. Some people were limping so I went to help them up, as you would in left 4 dead. Only difference is that they were just limping, not down. You would get them over your shoulders then they could move faster.

There was Smiegel, Gollum, and Jockey in front of me. I then moved back to help a guy named "Fellowship" He was Boromir. Frodo was helping me as well.

Every time I would help somebody, a green progress bar would show in my vision. It'd also switch to third person, just like left 4 dead.

I was thinking "This would be a great place to go when lucid!"

lulz..

Last night I had a dream, in the dream I noticed I was dreaming but wasn't sure, so became semi-lucid and started running, then I thought "Hey, what if I scream 'I'M NOT LUCID BECAUSE THERE ARE MONKEYS THROWING BANANAS AT THE CARS IN MY DREAM' and then completely forget that I'm dreaming? That would look really cool in the ways you've missed becoming lucid forum" So I did, and then forgot I was dreaming :(

LOL! I have not reached that phase yet because I am still struggling with a dream journal. But I do get mad when occasionally, I wake up and I can't remember anything... not a thing, yet I am sure that something had happened during the night.

The dream I listed with the monster guy really stuck in my head. Some dreams I forget as soon as I wake up and soem I remember for months or even years.

Better than the dog playing chess with the fish!

Well I've only just recently discovered LDing and haven't had one yet, but last night was my first night trying and all night I dreamt about Lucid Dreaming and people were telling me how to have one and to reality check, but I just didn't get the hint! Everyone was like, "You're in a dream. Do reality checks." and I just kept walking away from everyone.

So, so stupid.

:(

You just made me do a reality check...I swear, I have seen that avatar elsewhere...:hrm:

It's a fairly common picture. Found one here, for example:

No, the point was that I've seen that avatar before, but the join date and post count didn't match up. :?

The stupidest way I've missed it happened a couple times.

One time I was dreaming that I was writing in my dream journal; the only problem? It was completely full even though I didn't have more than 10 pages of dreams written down. I woke up shortly after and was so upset that I missed it. Another extremely stupid way was me sitting in a chair, but it had one leg. I was looking down at it as if that were normal!

Although, Yetis chasing me I don't miss :P

I spent almost an hour in one dream. I added 8+8 and caught my head on fire, then it went out after a second. This took a few seconds. I spent the rest of the hour doing simple math trying to make my head catch on fire. It was aggravating cause it's very difficult to do math in a non-lucid dream. I couldn't even figure out what 4x4 was!

Lately I have missed a lot of good LD time. I often find myself in such real situations, lots of time and I completely forget that I'm supposed to be asleep and not running around some different place with unfamiliar people everywhere!!!
This morning I was sitting around with several DC's, talking about whatever, a light tan horse came over and stood directly over me, everything was right there, he was nuzzliing my neck, then he 'sat down' next to me, and I became unsure because I'm not always around horses. This was obviously my dream guide with whom I've had many adventures with...Grrrr!!!
Next we were watching films about UFO sightings, i was explaining to everyone about them, DC's were asking questions, I was answering them.

I also missed several opportunities of DC sex, but failed again because there were DC's posing as people that I know in waking life, so I get nervous and ended up trying to play it off and avoid a situation!!!

And...I was riding with close family members to a market, the only exception was that I was the opposite sex this time, so I got scared, wondering if they were playing along with my 'fetish', I was looking for a jacket to cover myself with, I was sporting all those wonderful female attributes but I felt very embarrased and out of place.
My sister-in-law laughed and said not to worry about it , everyone will understand, so I left the jacket and we walked into the big market, me in 'drag' and all those DC's everywhere, including my DC in-law that I wouldn't mind wrestling with! What a rack!!!
Grrrrr!!!!!!

This has been going on for several weeks now and I have failed to recognise that I'm DREAMING and not awake!

I walked into this very small office room and there was this lady sitting in a chair at a desk. I walk up to her and ask "Do you guys have a phone I could use?" She grabs her arm, rips it off and starts ripping and chewing on her flesh. Blood just splatters everywhere. I stand there and the expression on my face does not change. At all. She tries to hand me the arm and asks "wants some?" and I responded by saying "No, I don't want your dismembered arm, I want a PHONE." And I end up walking out of the room.

Your Avatar expresses the same attitude :)

I had another recently.
I was in a situation where there were some mermaid-type things helping me and another bloke to escape from some viscious hooligans, and then I watched the whole escape again on a video screen. As I watched, I started to perform a reality check and then thought: "Hang on, mermaids aren't real." I looked again and then thought to myself: "Oh yeah, this is just a program about them."
Silly me. I thought I was watching a film or something.

I had a false awakening one time and it was night time almost an I felt so depressed since I thought i was sleeping for 18 hours I just went back to bed in my dream.

Last night I witnessed a goat run through a closed locked fence like a ghost. Had it not started biting me, I might have had enough time to gather I was asleep.

Basically everything I do in my dreams is stupid lol.
I'm still getting used to the idea of doing RC's all the time (while awake), so I guess it's not my fault I don't see the signs and do something :P Even if they are so blatantly obvious, I smack myself in the morning for not noticing them.
If I had to pick though..
Two nights ago, amoung doing other things aswell of course, I dreamt I was looking at myself in the mirror. I had a full beard and I was like "sweet, now I look badass". I then looked again and it was gone. I was like ":("
I guess it's my subconscious telling me it's time to grow a full beard;)

I've had a few recently.

The first one I had, I just bought "Exploring the world of Lucid Dreaming." I turned off my light and went to bed shortly after reading for two hours. I woke up a little bit later, all my lights were on, and I looked down at the book. The cover of the book was ALL wrong. There was a "4" on the cover, and I said "Huh.. I didn't know this was a series." Put the book down and went back to bed.

I had one about two nights ago. I woke up in the middle of the night, and my lights were on, once again. I thought "Hmm.. I want water." and my brother walked instantly into my room with a glass of water. I took a sip and then went back to bed. Woke up shortly after.

A couple of weeks ago, I heard my mom talking with someone who use to be one of my dream signs. inmediately I realized what could it mean. I wanted to RC to be completely sure. While I'm changing my clothes I saw my daugther's teddy bear running out from the room. I got pissed off because this toy is always running out!
I lose the dream trying to get it back to the room :?

I was riding in a plane with a few of my friends. There is a huge explosion so we all run to see what it was. We notice the back of the plane is completely gone, but the plane is still flying perfectly fine. I go up to the edge and say, "What the crap? How is this possible?"
One of my friends come up and tell me I'm dreaming while I just look at him and say, "STOP BEING SO STUPID," then I hit him as he falls out of the plane and I go back to sit down.
Why is it a DC will tell us we are dreaming sometimes, but we just ignore them and yell at them. At least for me. Trust me this isn't the first time this has happened.

I wish I had helpful DCs. In fact, I don't think I even have DCs that I don't know in real life. This makes becoming lucid more difficult :|.

Last night a woman gave birth to esparagus. And rice. And corn. My reaction to it was "We're not going to win this war if you can't provide us with new recruits."

:cackle:

hmm, I had a dream today where a car just moved on its own without being turned on. I noticed it somewhat but not fully, so, I didn't become lucid. To make matters worse, it moved again, just time from the sidewalk into the side of the street and again I didn't notice :P

I left my house early and went to school. Nobody was there, and I arrived too early so I snacked my fingers and I went back in time 30 minutes. I did this about 5 times in which bad events happened (I killed a girl's dog on accident) so I kept going back in time to try to have the perfect day.

...and I never became lucid :shock:

I was in a dream last night, and there was a computer downloading a game called, "Lucid Dreaming." I just looked at it and went, "Oh, it must be a good game." I'm kicking myself for not catching that!

Last night I was on a beach. I walked for a little bit, around some corners and lighthouses, until I came to a beach. This is a very special beach to me, because I've only seen it in my dreams, but I've seen it many times since I was little.

I got all excited and I thought "I've finally found it! I was beginning to think this place was only real in my dreams!"

In an unrelated note, the sea then started to shrink and was replaced by piers and buildings so thick you couldn't see it. It filled with motorboats and transport ships. The population was 99% black (not just black -- stereotype gangsta black). One of the ships had a bunch of black guys on it, all naked and in their '40's. I left, disgusted, and I'm pretty sure I thought something to the effect of "damn commercialism".

In one dream there was a 50 foot high fence around my yard, and a disembodied voice that said loudly "THIS IS A GOVERNMENT TEST! YOU WILL NOT REMEMBER THIS IN THE MORNING!"

There was also breathing underwater after I jumped over the fence into a river, and joined the rebellion made up of aliens and characters from Sonic who were in the underwater tunnels I found...

:shock:

I did become lucid in this dream, and it was my first LD, though short-lived, but really..

I found myself after some other segment of the dream (completely unrelated) in a big green, grassy area with lots of waterfalls and cliffs. Very pretty. So, some omnipotent voice from above that didn't even seem to have a voice tells me to find a big cliff! That's right. An omnipotent voice from above wants me to find a big cliff and I don't become lucid! Only afterwards when I moved the 'camera' to find a big cliff and the voice told me 'good job' did I realise I was dreaming. Because I moved the 'camera'.

Last night I was playing Call of Duty MW2 with Ellis from Left 4 Dead 2, we were both characters.

I thought "this is too fun to go lucid." And literally chose not to become lucid. lmao

I'm falling down after this wooden structure collapses and think 'alright, now's the time to find out if there's a heaven'.

I hit the ground. I respawn 2 seconds later, thank the Heavens, then go on my way feeling completely happy (there's a heaven, afterall). Then I pause and think 'Naw, I just survived cause this is a dream."

And then didn't bother to follow up on that, instead deciding to watch a conversation between 2 of my friends.

I had a dream just recently where I, randomly yelled 'I am dreaming!' ( I was in the mall with my friends). I tried to prove it by jumping off something but, because I had doubt in my mind that I wasn't actually dreaming, I just jumped and landed with the normal laws of physics (therefore missing becoming lucid).

I forgot to mention that I was excited cause the map was my neighborhood. I yelled to my teammates and only Ellis came (the others dissapeared cause i stopped paying attention) and we ran to my house. Then I gave him a tour of the house.

When I am in video games in dreams, they are realistic as if it's life, not playing a game with a controller. At first the objects were static as if a game but once I wanted to show him the house it was real.

Spending time on DreamViews.

I spent time on MortalMist.

Problem is, I don't even know what MM looks like. Never been on it. I'm also too young to get on it.

This is a hilarious thread! I have written in my dream journal, where I had about 10 or 20 lucids written at the time... and didn't even think, well, maybe I should do a reality check or something... the journal was like shrunken and I had in the dream filled up about 2/3 of it, when in reality I only have like 1/8 (it's a pretty thick journal, and I use both sides of the pages).

Trying to go to sleep in a dream so that I can have a lucid dream -_-

At least I think that's how it was.

I was walking through my school and went into the toilets, there was a cafe-area within the toilets and i thought it was totally normal. :/

I had a dream once where for some random reason, I started attempting to use telekinesis on this unidentifiable white object thingy on the floor. Suddenly something clicked and I thought: "hey, if this is a dream, I really could do that!" So I tried, and nothing happened. "Nope, this is definitely not a dream." ...and then I went on to fight the evil dude that was going to blow up the earth with some invention that was powered by cow eyeballs.

I was talking to someone
I said
"I am having a Lucid Dream right now!!!"
The person said "Yeah you are!"
I said "No I am not bye I have to go kick the moon or else it will eat my mother because my mom beat its fish in a game of basket ball. But first I must eat you."
I then ate the person, and proceeded to do what I said.
I never became lucid in the dream.

I always forget to do reality checks. Lately I've been trying to them a different way. Instead of making sure this is reality, I make sure this is not a dream. So I try to make something move across the room, or make something spontaneously combust, which seems like something I should be able to do if I was doing a reality check in a dream.
So, the other night I was dreaming. I was walking down a street and went into this parking lot where I came face to face with a much younger version of myself and my little sister and for some reason my aunt. My aunt informed me that this was a dream, and that I was really in acoma with hepatitis (???). I was so scared that I was like....let's make sure this is not a dream, so I tried to make my aunt catch on fire. It didn't work, so I assumed she was telling the truth. I woke up immidately. I was so pissed when I woke up!

I counted 6 fingers on my hand and figured I was awake.
Later, I counted 5 fingers and figured it was impossible and I was asleep.

Total screw up there.

I've done this many times. I don't mind not coming lucid cause I have the most awesome hallucinations.

This beats the dog playing chess with the fish and they couldn't become lucid because he had him in checkmate

:cheeky:

I just woke from a nap and had an LD, trying to complete a new goal; however, the next dream involved me completing that goal, without being lucid.

Okay, so a couple of nights ago, I dreamt about a furious koala the size of a lion:shock:, which was chasing me and it eventually bit me:lol

I had on my watch. I then looked down and saw another watch which was a not-so-faithful replication of my own. I take this watch and put it on next to the other watch. A new watch appears. I put that on. I look away, look back at my arm, and it now has 4 watches instead of 3. I thought "hey, this is a dream!". But I could feel the dream fading, so I was all like "Nah, I better just not go lucid so the dream lasts longer".

Falling asleep :cheeky:

This one happened a while ago.

I was kidnapped by Stephen LaBerge and held hostage for 3 days. I mean, really? -_-

lol

i just decided not to do an rc because i was to afraid of what might happen so i didn't. I guess it was realy an LD cause i could control the sun ?!:eek:

I had one were I was describing lucid dreaming to this guy in detail.
I woke up and was like "how the hell did I miss that?"

Last night I had a dream where I was on DV and a guys sign said "do a reality check" and I never did. I later had a false awakening, went through all 7 hours of school (how lame..) and came home and got back on. His sig was different and I was like "oh well.. he had a different sig in my dream than on here I should've caught it!"

The name and avatar and gender and even the paragraph post of text were exactly the same both times, just not the sig.

I did a RC and still didn't become lucid:(

that is like every dream. honestly how do I not think it's weird that I'm a bear? or my brother turned into a tree? or that teleporting through water spheres is normal? i also went lucid for the first time the other night and then lost it cuz there was an explosion that distracted me. it was a damn shame cuz I tried out flying.

Well the logic part of our brains is off when we dream, but on when we lucid.

Walking away from whatever I was doing and was thinking of what I should do but lost control.

After I had a lucid dream that didnt last long I was in my bed and everyone was awake yet in reality everyone was asleep before I went to bed and my walls were a different colour.

I need to RC or remember to do them.

I was explaining to my girl friend how to lucid dream, and went on dream views with her, someone's sig was "Do a RC", then instead of doing one I told her, "Ok, now plug your nose and try to breath", she did it and she said "I'm dreaming!" I was jealous that she was having a lucid dream and I wasn't :shakehead2:

That's pretty funny actually especially the last part :P

For me, it was working at my current job outside in the dark. Best part was that there were no walls to this place and I never noticed that :lol:

My homeroom teacher told me French class was being replaced with "animal rape avoidance". I guess that's always a useful skill. :cheeky:

haha thats funny, I had a similar experience once. I was on a field trip with my math class, and we were learning how to defend ourselves from wild birds that live in caves, apparently the best way is to bite their neck and throw a coconut at their head (well, according to my dream anyways)

I dreampt that I was running away from this guy in a castle. All of a sudden, I decided to do an RC and hold my nose while breathing. It worked, and I was lucid. Unfortunately, it didn't last long and the dream started to fuzz out and transition to black. Being my first lucid dream, I told myself to stay calm, otherwise I would get to excited and wake up. The next second I was in my bedroom. My dad barges in the door and begins telling me how I was thrashing around and yelling things in my sleep. He goes as far as describing the color of the castle and my attacker, claiming I said all this in my sleep. I felt very dissapointed that I woke up exactly when I had a lucid dream!

The phone rings and my sister calls. She tells me how she can't sleep due to nightmares, and I tell her that she should try Lucid Dreaming. I go as far as telling her to do RC's, but before I explain that she should do some constantly, she screames "HOT DOGS!" The next second I was at a hot dog eating competition, eating to my stomachs content.

Then I woke up... Oh how I hate false awakenings! Sometimes I feel like the subconcious is one tricky SOB.

Actually the first time I've lost lucidity in a dream happened to be for the most ridiculous reason. A dream character brought over a box of doughnuts.
"Ooh Doughnuts!" *lose lucidity while eating* :doh:

Man, I felt stupid when I woke up.

I was told that my room was going to be repainted orange (it's currently a subtle green) "to improve my IQ".

I remember one time i was dreamin where i was asleep on my computer desk and my mom woke me up at 4:30 in the morning to close out of a tab on my internet (well, stuff like that's normal so nothing weird here.)

Then I went downstairs and she started yelling at me. The whole family woke up and my brother and dad were yelling too. Apparently I had stolen the sugar container (on the kitchen table to pour sugar on our plain cereals) from her dresser as a "lucid aid." It was morally wrong to them and then they showed me a video of myself becoming a demon and going insane through a lucid dreaming ritual.

No mom, I didn't use your sugar as a lucid aid!

I have just found my newest dream goal, thanks mate! :D

Hahah umm well I'm still fairly new to LDing and stuff, but a recent dream I had, which frustrated the HELL out of me, involved this girl I really like telling me I was dreaming and that she'd hook up with me if I realised it and became lucid. Naively, I thought "Nah, she'd hook up with me anyway..", and I didn't even try to become lucid or give it any thought. We didn't hook up. Now I hate myself haha..

mine was last night, i was dreaming, but was trying to do the wake initiated lucid dream and was trying to picture where i wanted to be in my dream when i started dreaming, i was also speaking to people telling them where i wanted to start my lucid dream, without knowing i already was dreaming.

These come all the time. Yesterday even: I was looking in the mirror and shaving my giant grey and white beard! I even remember saying "When the hell did I start ageing?" and I proceeded to shave.:doh:

i once tried to hook up with a girl i worked with and when she said no i said "come on, it's just a dream." she said "that's the oldest trick in the book." i said "ok if it's not a dream then give me this tomorrow." and handed a piece of paper to it with the words "let me hit it" written on it. i felt like i had totally showed her what was what and then woke up. i saw her the next day at work and had forgotten the dream until that moment. i looked at her weird and said "do you have something for me?" obviously she didn't and when i told her about it she thought it was hilarious.

thank you! now i feel normal! all my dreams are freaking crazy lol! i only count the ones where i wavered on lucidity.

Exactly I have had dreams that make you go WTF? Like I had a dream where I was getting a drill bit through my head and I was like ow this hurts... :bang: my mind completely puts aside that I have a hole in my head and that I should probably die right now.....to think about dream pain.

oh and one last thing, once i dreamed that a bunch of people were at my house having a party, i was so furious that i stormed into my bathroom and grabbed a shot glass and was going to take a shot of the toilet water. then instead of saying "what the what? i'm dreaming!" i said "ooh wait, someone nasty may have used this toilet, with the party going on and all..."

haha dream pain is odd. Last night I was a dragon and was once a legend. I had rebirthed and was learning to fly again so I was out in a cold russia square. Statue of a general with a gun above his head, I stood on the base. I jumped and flapped my arms and kept trying to fly and failed. But one time, on the way down, I hit my left nipple on the corner of the base. Instantly my nipples grew three inch long hair that stuck straight out like a boner and I got perky. It stung, too.

lololol

(disclaimer - I was lucid though..)

LMFAO. Sooo great.

telling my friend in detail about another dream i had at the place we were. Then not reality checking

Last night was crazy I remembered like 3 or 4 dreams. One of them or at least part of one, I was in a time machine or was going to use one to go to the future. The funny thing is what I was going to do in the future. I was there to have a lucid dream I guess I expected It to be different in the future. I don’t know but it piss me off I didn’t go lucid.

A few night ago I got lost in a marsh or swamp. Then I saw a huge ship or small mountain rising from the reeds. I remember thinking "that looks strange".

But that was it :(

Yesterday, I had a dream in witch I was getting a medicine (I had a headache i guess... ). And when I opened the the medicine can, I saw one pill and a string. Then I said to my self:"This is strange... Oh well guess it should jump out, but it didn't..." :doh:

Seeing myself in a mirror. I looked different everytime I glanced at it. I felt so dumb when I woke up, because looking at a mirror was another viable RC. But then again, that happened during a very vivid nightmare.

I always seem to be super emotional in my dreams (not sure why). I always cry for no reason and things just go wrong. So this rapist was stalking me but I kept it secret from my parents. Later after seeing him at walmart I cry to them in the car. They tell me that everything will be okay. I say that it won't but they say that I'm dreaming and can't get hurt. I tell them I know but am still afraid.

It goes on for a lot longer but I could have turned lucid and kicked that rapist dudes butt. Stupid me thinking I'm sooooo smart and know I'm dreaming not needing any type of real awareness.
