Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

Last night, I had a dream where I did the finger count reality check. I had five fingers plus one thumb, and I ended up thinking this: "You know, most of the time I have four fingers and one thumb, but that's not right. This is the way my hands are supposed to look!"

That was the first time that a reality check failed and I didn't go lucid.

Last night in a dream, I was in a school bathroom and I had just had sex with a chick in a stall and some guy caught us and told me I was going to be kicked out of school. A little while later I was with my best friend in the dream and I was like dude, there's no way I'm going to get kicked out of school, I mean do you even remember how we got here in the first place, this can't be real. Haha I woke up and was so mad that I didn't notice It was a dream.

I had a dream last night where I was flying a jetpack towards a landing pad built by the Coca-Cola company (it was on a building with the Coke logo across it), and I realized I had had a dream with the same thing in it one time. For whatever reason I didn't go lucid. I also missed the landing pad. They had to do something to get me on the pad, even though I could do it without assistance. Oh well.

Well I'm new to lucid dreaming and haven't had any yet, but I still felt pretty stupid when I woke up.

At the begging of the dream I'm in an art mueseum. I'm standing next to a giant troll creature that has a sledge hammer. I have a machine gun ( which is twice as strange since I've never held a real gun before.) For watever reason me and the troll decide to go farther into the mueseum. At some point we turn into a giant room. Every inch of the wall is covered in paintering. All of the sudden out of no where three women (that all look like Mona Lisa) jump to attack us. They are all holding knives and me and the troll have trouble fighting them off. Just then I started to wonder if I was dreaming when it ended.

Oh wow, that sucks.

You should learn to DEILD, as that should help your problem.

well Not so much as missed becomeing lucid but losing lucidity. I was lucid but for some reason when I saw a fictional character from a book I lost lucidity.

After a long work day I laid down on the couch in the living room for a nap. I suddenly heard a noise woke up and everything was in the opposite side of the room and my window was broken. I panicked and thoughts of someone breaking in while I was sleeping ran through my head. So I checked all my valuables, and just stared at the mess they made when they broke in. I totally missed going Lucid by not doing a reality check first, instead of checking my valuables. I woke up and wanted to kick myself...

In my lucid dreaming endeavors, I've gotten used to that.

Edit: I had a dream last night where I was in a huge mall, looking for a girl named Samantha. She turned into a wolf, then I turned into a wolf, and we were growling and trying to kill each other. Then, somehow we both ended up as domestic cats in the end, and we were grooming each other. WTF?

The dream after my first lucid dream (it seemed like straight after), I was in an open top Jeep driving around an unknown city with a few people I dont know. I was telling them that I had just had my first lucid dream. I was so happy and focused thinking of the dream I failed to realise that I didn't have a clue where I was or who the people were who I was with! For the rest of the dream I was just staring out of this Jeep at the streets of this city completely deluded

I use to play ice hockey and whenever I dream about playing it, I always am just terrible. So last night I had a dream there was half an ice hockey rink in my family room and I was terrible as usual. I was was playing two on two with someone and afterwards I told the guy I was playing with, "sorry about playing so bad, I always play bad when I'm dreaming." I think I might of thought for a second about what I just said, but then I just kept doin what I was doin.

talking about lucid dreaming in a dream.... last night

Once I tried to turn the lights on, and it didn't work so I imediately assumed that the electricity was off and ran to the window to see if there was a storm outside, the really sad part is that there was another light on in the room that ran off of electricity...lol

"I'm so glad this is actually happening in real life because I kept dreaming about it happening..." this has happened to me over and over again and it's always a dream!

in a dream i had a couple nights ago one of my friends was living in an earthworm hole in my basement, i asked her what would happen if it caved in, she looked at me like i was an idiot and said "I would just eat my way out" and in my dream i said, "oh yeah that's right i'm a moron, i knew that already". and it was perfectly logical.

I saw a giant TV hanging from the roof and it had a list of my dream accomplishments, the bottom one saying "You have got your first lucid." I replied "Wha- no I haven't!"

Later it had changed to "You have talked about your dreams in a dream". And I unlocked Toy Story 3 trailer.

walked through an entire mall talking to my buddy about lucid dreaming wtf he had mdma on him to i asked fml

My LD-rate has completely gone down the toilet. So much, in fact, that last night I did a nose-plug reality check without considering the fact that I could be dreaming.

I will have a fricking lucid.
I will have a fricking lucid.
I will have a fricking lucid.
I will have a fricking lucid.
I will have a fricking lucid!!!!

I'm in my grandparents' bathroom, sitting on the toilet. There are two doors in the room that really aren't there. Also the toilet seat was on the wrong side of the room. Some people come in. I tell them to go off. They are students from some school. Their teacher comes in also. I tell her for them to get the fuck out of here because I'm on the toilet. More students keep coming in. I lose my nerve and start pushing them off the room with my feet. I fall off the seat. They laugh at me. I get back to the seat and grab a boy from his feet with mine and throw him on the wall with superhuman power. Finally they leave the room. I also leave it. I go to tell to mom. On the way I think: "How didn't I realize that was a dream? There were two extra doors and the toilet seat was on the wrong side of the room!"

Way to go.

This FA experience from last night was particularly awesome.

I'm dreaming about something else, and I wake up in my current bed. I try several times to turn on the lamp next to it, but the bulb just flickers and sputters every time I try. I turn the knob until the flickering stops, tighten the bulb in its socket, then try again. Still nothing. I go out into the hall to look at the digital clock on one of our cable boxes, to see what time it is. It says 7:39, which disappoints me. Aw, man! It's time to get up, I think. Then I look again and see that I made a mistake: it's only 2:39. So, I get my notepad and start taking notes on the dream I just had.

...And then I woke up for real. This time, I remembered to do the nose-pinch RC. I was very annoyed with myself for not doing any RCs before and not catching the FA, especially when I realized that I had missed not one, but two of the classic dream signs, one right after another. My mind is great at giving me clues that I'm dreaming; I'm just oblivious.

So i was hanging out with my friends talking about a grill. walked away to go to the bathroom, and commented on doing a reality check while i was in the bathroom. When i came back all the furniture in the room was rearranged. i stopped and was like WAIT A MINUTE IM DREAMING!!!!! my friends started laughing their asses off at me, telling me they rearranged the furniture to mess with me.


Then i woke up. And realized, it was in fact a dream, and my dream characters were messing with me hardcore.

I had a dream where an RC failed (the time changing one), I noticed it, and you know what happened next?
Me: "Well, would you look at that..."
DC: "What?"
Me: "My watch just reset itself."
MY WATCH CAN'T EVEN RESET!!!

I also had a dream where I was walking over to a friend to talk about LDing. Not too annoying, but noticeable.

^This. I have these ALL the time...pretty much the main stupid way i miss becoming lucid

Yeah, I've had the "wow, this happens to me all the time when I'm dreaming" experience before.

One thing I have noticed in my dreams is that mirrors do weird things. I have tried to use this to induce lucidity. The other night, I was looking at myself in the mirror, and my reflection started making faces that I wasn't making. I thought this was really strange, and wracked my brain to think of an explanation. In the end, I concluded that the mirror was broken, and called a mirror repair man to fix it.
