Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

Last month, I was on a ship, and the staff were arriving by floating down out of the sky. I thought wtf? and went to have a closer look. I then saw that most of the staff were using hoverboards (!) to come down from a craft floating in the sky, and it was just the ones who couldn't ride them that were floating. So that was okay. All explained there!

Last night I went to take a photo of a group of friends but couldn't find my camera, so I held my hands up like I was holding a camera, moved my finger and said 'click'.

I just asked a friend of mine if he ever tried to lucid dream.

After waiting for the buses to pass coming down the hill so we can cross the street, two locomotives come barreling down the hill, they don't make the turn and start plowing through houses. One come skidding towards us and I think I'll have to use my TK ability to stop it if it doesn't stop soon. Another goes flying over our heads and lands on the neighbor's house entirely crushing it. I think our house is safe but it's been blasted away by a tornado. Ho hum, just a normal day in the neighborhood, nothing strange here, move along...

One time a few days ago, I was dreaming about this huge show in front of my town's library facing the lake. I was sitting with my family, and went to go sit down, and my chair was turned backwards, and picked it up and it was weightless! I remember thinking, that's strange, why is this so light? I kept thinking something was strange, and I was so close to figuring out it was a dream, something in the back of my mind kept saying, something was wrong. I was SO close! First truly lucid dream, in my finger tips, gone!

DOUBLE dreamsign fail! I was on the deck of my parents house (MAJOR DS, almost every single night I have a dream where I'm at or around my parents' house, I now do daily MILD reps about 'next time I'm around my parent's house, I remember to recognize that I'm dreaming') *journaling a dream from earlier in the night (!!) into the voice recorder app of my phone* !!. Argh!!!!!!

Last night I remember, I was talking to old friends, and I remember thinking I needed to write down the old friends was one of my dream keys, in the dream!!!

Well I actually have a real one also. I was in sleep paralysis and since 90% of my LD's are from SP I got out of this in a very stupid way. I was aware that my sisters boyfriend was in the house visiting, and while I was in SP I thought I saw and heard him looking at me, as I don't even know how I look like in my SP I didn't want to seem weird to him so I woke myself up, and then he was gone (well he was never there). I always assume that my brain doesn't want me to be in SP and it finds new creative ways to get me out of it, as I gain more control of it, but maybe that's just my paranoia

"Wait a minute!! Is it a dream? The tattoo is there, it looks weird but it's because of the bad illumination of this unfamiliar passage... I better hurry up to finish this work... Where the f*ck did my kid go?... There you are! Hurry up, we're late!!!"

Dreamsign: I'm in a hurry.
Stupidity sign: I let myself go in a rush.

So last night in my dream I was entering a concert and I just started dancing with this girl, normally I am really shy so I thought to myself this can't be real I must he dreaming. I continued think that "hey I should become lucid, naw ill do it later" then just went along dancing. That would have been my first lucid! Darn! :\

My foot was stuck in an elevator and as the door closed on my foot, I tried to pry it out but I couldn't. The elevator started going up and that's when my foot just 'popped off.' I though to myself, "Good...I'm glad that my foot is gone...now that I'm out of that jam I can get back to doing whatever I was doing!

I missed like 5 major signs all in one dream:
+ I was in my old house where I don't live any more
+ with my family as of about 12 years ago (children small)
+ played with my dog who died 5 years ago
+ I cried in the dream because I knew he was dead
+ When I petted him he purred like a cat, and I "remembered" that he could do that (he couldn't not of course)

I stepped outside and it was raining wolves...yes, I said it was raining wolves. And, not just any wolves, but mama wolves carrying their baby wolves underneath them like kangaroos carry their babies. I thought to myself, "I better get back inside, I don't want to get wolves on me."

Fragment: A man hosting a show about lucid dreaming, "Be Who You Want To Be!"

I wasn't really into LDing at the time, but I did have one dream where I had the whole Peanut gallery in my car trunk.

I wish I could be given a second chance.

I was invited to a very fancy party and I needed to dress formally...I didn't have a nice dress so I went to a store to get one. In the dressing room I was trying on all of these fancy dresses and every time I looked into the mirror, the image would change into somebody else. Each time I would try on a different dress and look in the mirror the image would go from a woman to a man. I thought to myself, "I must be dreaming" and I walked away from the mirror. WTF???!!!

Sigh...I'm really getting tired of posting in this forum.

I get the same thing. I looked in the mirror and I was dressed like someone from the hunger games. I thought it was funny and continued dreaming.

Once I was with my internet friends I have never met in person, and they were at my school. We stole the almighty hotdog from the chocolate temple and got put in jail. A talking pokemon said that if we weren't in jail we would have been captured by the pancake gods and made their delicious slaves. I thought that all of this was completely normal.

Another time I was shot in the head and the only thing I thought was "Crap. I had better get a bandage."

Clearly, your subconscious knew that it was completely irrational for a hotdog to belong in a chocolate temple, and stealing it was the logical solution. No way to get lucid from that.

I'm involved in a particular dream scene, just following along in typical zombie-like ND fashion. All of a sudden, I start feeling light on my feet. Sort of like beginning to faint. This happens a few times and I wonder what's going on. Then I am pulled very quickly up into the air. I think "whoa, is it possible to WILD in the middle of a dream?!" because it feels like a transition into a different dream! It then transitions into an awesome flying dream where I'm conscious that I'm exercising flying control (it's not a natural built-in ability like in other flying dreams). The whole thing felt almost lucid while flying, I even consulted a disembodied "guide" on how to fly vertically since I had trouble doing that. One of my most memorable and vivid flying dreams yet even while ND.

I was stressing about a doc appointment in a nonlucid. So we're headed to the clinic, and the receptionist calls be just before when I believe that I will be having a 10am appointment. She asks me "We decided to call you to see if you would like to make an appointment today." I said, "Um yeah, called yesterday, made it for 10am today." She said, "Well ,we didn't know." I asked "Well, if you didn't know, then how come you knew to call me and ask me AT the time of the scheduled appointment? Plus you have my new number that I gave yesterday at the time of making the appointment, so..." Then I forget what she said to that, but then she asked me, "Well, the doctor can only check one side. So which side would you like?" Me: " Which side of what?" Then I remember me and her arguing about this, because it made no logical sense "Which side," but she was sticking to her guns. So I said to her "You know, probably my laryngitis is preventing you from understanding my questions," so I handed the phone to my bf, hoping for better. He gave the phone back to me and said "Yeah, which side?"

I grabbed the phone and yelled "MA'AM, WE'LL GO WITH THE LEFT SIDE. SEE YOU AT 10???!!!????!!!"

"Ok "

I woke up soooooooooooooo mad lol. If only I had gotten lucid from that, I would have made her eat my phone.

Hello! Recently, I've been attempting to have lucid dreams (no success yet, but I think I'm getting there... ish.)
Well, last night I had a dream I was in school again. I got my schedule and looked at it. There was a bunch of stuff, but what my dreamself saw immediately was...

5. Consciousness
(In this exact font and size.)


It was bigger than the others, but you know what my dreamself thought?
".... Consciousness...?"
Then continued on his (my) merry way. That got me so mad when I woke up this morning because I didn't use it as a LD Trigger. I do find it kinda funny though.

What are some obvious LD Triggers/Dream Signs that your dreamself overlooked?

I once had a dream where a dream character told me I was dreaming, then said "Ok, if I'm dreaming I can do whatever I want" then I did whatever my unconscious wanted (as in I didn't become lucid but my dreamself was acting as if it was a dream).

One time I had a dream where I was giving a presentation to my school about lucid dreaming, I was explaining what they are and how to get them and stuff like that. I even demonstrated several reality checks, but you know what, I didn't get lucid. I was mad at first to, but now I just find it funny that I didn't realize anything was up. Don't worry about it, you will get there eventually, just keep on questioning your surrounding and do RC's and RRC's

I was talking with someone about shared dreaming and lucid dreaming
