Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

My dream last night where I turned into a stick man made of bronze...YEP SEEMS NORMAL!

^^ This is why I do RCs whether there are people around or not! Just scratching my nose, nothing to see here (do nosepinch). You can also do glottal-stop (no hands) RCs, same thing, close off your throat with the muscles in your neck and you can't breathe.

And I think this one from last night for me is close to winning for this thread:

I'm flying/floating down a street, and I'm warping a spot of the ground/pavement with my mind into the shape of a perfect hemisphere about a meter in diameter which is floating along with me a few meters to my left and a bit ahead.

And I'm thinking: "It's too bad this isn't enough to get me lucid"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAUUUGHGH!!

Last night i had two amazingly beautiful girlfriends who followed me around and i was complimenting them collectively by saying "Ya'll are the girls of my dreams!"... But that wasnt enough for me to go Lucid i guess

Last night I teleported between locations while non-lucid and then went to a bathroom to go pee. The pee came out like I had a fire hose down there and the force of it shot me up against a wall. I was dancing around trying to get it under control but the force was too much and it just went everywhere. I still didn't realize it was a dream, so I started to clean it up....with kitty litter.

Last night... oh, last night, where do I even begin?

First, people were trying to break into my house (which was not my house), so I fake shot them... which means that I raised my hand, shouted "BANG BANG" and expected them to die. They just kept walking towards me and I thought "I hate it when I can't shoot people in my dreams!"

Second, I was looking through the window and there was a huge storm outside. I said to whoever was next to me: "my dreams have the best storms, don't you think?"

Third, I was pissed off about something and I was outside at this big field. I decided that the only way to solve my problem would be to create a tornado. The tornado appeared a bit far from me, but then it came towards my direction. I thought "crap, it's going to get me!" followed by "oh, never mind, tornadoes never hurt me in dreams, this might be fun!"

Finally, I sat down, grabbed a pen and a piece of paper and told myself: "time to make a list of things I want to do next time I'm lucid!"

...so close.

Well maybe it's not the stupidest way, but last night I had a really, really long dream. I usually have very unrealistic/stupid dreams, but usually I don't realise ( So I am doing reality check technique)or I don't even have an idea that I'm dreaming. However, yesterday's dream was more realistic. in dream I got a thought in my mind for a second, "Oh it would be funny if I am dreaming". As you see I was sure I wasn't dreaming. I don't know what happened then, dream continued but I didn't reality check unfortunately

i remember feeling and looking at my hands to make sure i wasnt dreaming, but i was the whole time!

I've yet to have a lucid dream. Or if I have I don't remember. It's so frustrating!

Anyway I was having a completely normal dream. I was in the parking lot at the high school I went to and saw a lady walking two white dogs. For some reason I was like "hey I must be dreaming!" but I didn't become aware at all.

A year ago, I had a dream in which I wondered how it was possible for me to keep popping in and out of different scenes without any recollection of how I got there. Finally I told another person, "Maybe someone is actually dreaming all of this and we don't really exist."

A while ago I had a dream that I was discussing lucid dreaming with my friends at my school... And they didn't even go to my school! So close...

I'm lying in bed, trying to get to sleep all juiced up on galantamine and choline (for real). Then a dream starts to form before my eyes, and I coax it on, "yes, good, solidify, that's right..more, more" and anticipate entering the dream. The image is of a tall pole outdoors at a strip-mall with several store signs on it, I'm focusing on the signs. Then I "realize" this isn't a dream, it's just the view from my bed (in a parking lot in a strip-mall!), because you see, there's the KFC across the street, and a guy will come out from that door, there he is....(dream continues non-lucidly)...

DOH!

During my RCs I usually check the time and compare different watches (wall clock, laptop, mobile phone,...). Last night I had the following dream:

I was at a party and everyone was asleep. I was still awake and found a girl lying on the floor who was pretty drunk. I checked my wrist watch (I normally never wear one) and saw that it was around 3am. It was also dark outside. Just moments after that incident a friend of mine arrived. I asked him why he arrived that late and he said that it's already morning. I checked a clock on the wall which showed about 5:45 am. Instead of realizing that I'm dreaming, I just concluded that my wrist watch must be wrong

When I first started doing RC's I used taking off my glasses as my go to. The dream I had literally that same night, I never even started with my glasses on, which in itself should have been a big tell. Just a big "nah fuck you" from the dream world.

i had a false awaking after trying WILD and then i pintch my nose to check if i can breath and i was able to. and stil i didin't knew that im dreaming and was unaware.

I have missed more ridiculously obvious dreams signs that I couldn't even count them all. But, the worst is the few occasions where I actually did a reality check, the check showed that I was dreaming, and yet I still didn't believe it.

The other night I dreamed that I had a lucid dream: I am sitting in a waiting room waiting to be called in for an interview. I suspect that I've dozed off and look at the wall clock. None of the numbers are in the right place, so I determine that I really have fallen asleep. I will myself to wake up and rush off to my interview. Then, I wake up for real.

Was having fun with Telekinesis in the dream and didn't even bother doing a Reality Check

In last night's dream, I was running around with Booth and Dr. Saroyan from the show Bones. We found a card that said "LUCID DREAMING" and Booth asked what that was all about. But I was having too much fun to think about it or explain. -_-

I don't think I've ever seen or heard any reference to lucid dreaming or dreams in any dreams i can remember.

after thinking about what I will do in my next lucid, it took me ten minutes to actually start having one

I had a dream about a month ago where I looked down to find myself looking at a hand with 5 fingers and a hand with 6.

I panicked and decided that the only rational thing to do was to chop it off.

Derp.

Some time ago i had dream in which i tried to get into lucid dream so i've been trying to get WILD to work

LD ended by my "alarm" going off and me "waking up." But it wasn't my ringtone. And my wife and I were captives. And there was an Orc guard in the room with a sword.

Yesterday night I woke up and began trying to perform WILD. But I couldn't fall asleep for really long. In the morning I realised that I was already in a dream when I wasn't falling asleep. (Waking up wasn't a dream though)

I couldn't hear what the clerk at the counter was saying because I realized there was a city street running through the store with cars zipping by in between me and the counter.
