Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

This is a really old thread, but anyway here goes...

I had a dream that my mom was concocting a disgusting-looking liquid in a "mad-scientist"-like laboratory. She handed some of it to me in a vile and said, "Here is some bubble bath for you!" I said, "No, thanks, it will make me lucid." :bang:

I also had a dream where a lady was talking to my family, and "making wishes" for them. She wished for my brother to hit a home run, and for my dad to have a good day at work, etc... then she came to me. "I wish that you have a good dream tonight and become lucid." I was like, "Nah, I'm gonna wake up soon anyway." o.O Didn't get lucid.

I remember trying to fall asleep and when i did and entered a dream i was so upset that i couldent fall asleep and lucid dream that it carryed over to my dreams. I cried in the dream over not being able to go back to sleep and become lucid. I slaped myself when i woke up.

Here's one from just the other day... except I was awake...
My light in the kitchen died on me right before I flipped it for an RC... I thought "Woohoo! I'm Lucid!" and proceeded to walk through the wall... or into the wall...

LOL! :D Good you didn't decide to fly, and jumped out the window. :panic:

Last night in a dream I looked at the alarm clock, and it said 04:70. I laughed, and thought it's malfunctioning. Didn't become lucid. :roll:

(This was before I had had a lucid dream) In the dream, I got a letter from my friend saying, "Hey, I just had a lucid dream." I thought, "Darn. I should have been the one getting one." I went to her house and asked her what it was like. She shrugged. "I dunno. It was like any other lucid dream." I asked, "How would you know? This was your first one." She shrugged again. "I just do. But don't worry, you'll become lucid soon." "But it's the middle of the afternoon!" I insisted. She walked away, muttering, "You'll become lucid."

I didn't become lucid.

Umm I had a false awakening where i told somebody that they were dreaming because I thought everything was real and I was trying to trick them. Oh and then another dream I was gliding through the air and didnt become lucid.

I tend to miss lucidity simply because I take everything that happens to be normal. For instance, I've had this one a few times where a highway I regularly drive on is mangled in the form of a rollercoaster track, pieces of it are broken and falling in to the ocean, but I just say to myself..."Damn, I shouldn't have taken 95 today."

Or heres another one, I was walking on the boardwalk in a dream, and saw some sort of mcdonalds type place, and the drive through was in the water, and people were driving their cars in the water, and the cars are actually floating and being propelled when they hit the gas. AND when the window opens up for the person to receive their meal, the guy has to drop it 3 or 4 feet and hope the driver catches it. But I thought this was perfectly normal.

However, when I see hot women in my dreams, I'm instantly aware and I take advantage of that immediately, its like an instant trigger.

So, 1) You watch too many apocalypse movies 2) you never come across hot women in real life?

I had a really weird feeling about me... and I knew I had to reality check. I tried pushing my fingers through my palms (which usually works for me) but this dream was too realistic, and it didn't work. I SWORE it was a dream, so I tried again, but it failed! So I went to a last resort, I tried pinching myself. Unfortunately, I felt, or at least THOUGHT I felt pain, and said to myself "Oh well, I really thought this was a dream but I guess not..." Even my dream pinches hurt!

I actually dont watch TV at all. Or movies, I dont like them simply because they bore me, I dont like sitting still. I like interacting. And 2) I come across many, but in my dream it seems to let me know in whatever way that I am dreaming, I'll start thinking of some fantasy, and it'll start happening and I say.. I know I dont do this in real life on pure instinct, somethings wrong.

eg.:
Once when I was small alien spaceships attacked earth, so I made an earthquake rip apart the ground, threw in a paper with a spaceship drawn on it, and that object came flying out, which I used to destroy the spaceships that were flying around.

Like wtf? lucidity pl0x?

lOl

when a bunch of african people start dancing in a classroom with there tongues longer than a meter stick. and you tell yourself before you go to sleep after your computer crashed that if it turns on in your dream your dreaming. and you have a dream about it. and yet dont become lucid? then something wrong

In a few weeks ago, i dreamt about my school. I was sitting with my friends and explained all about lucid dreaming i knew... Soo annoying that i did'nt became lucid :P

I locked a door and it still opened.

My friend once had a dream that he was riding a roller coaster through his house. He only became lucid when he saw his sister drinking sprite, something she doesn't drink.

Also, I levitated around and I was like, "Cool! I can levitate in real life!."

its kinda hard to explain... but one night over a year ago a had a non-lucid dream about having a lucid dream.
very peculiar.
i flew around and had a great time but when i woke up i was like "shit..i wasn't actually lucid was i?"
SUCH A LETDOWN

Last saturday morning I tried to WILD. I false awakened and tryed to move my arm, It wasn't there and I realised I was dreaming. Then I get out of bed and preform reality checks. they both pass and I feel like a twat and get back into bed.
Then I woke up and slapped myself

Last night, I just can remember I'm walking down a street while thinking "Great, I finally HAD a lucid dream again, it breaks my longest dryspell and... (non-lucid dream goes on)".:doh:

Nooooo! This thread can't die! :panic:

Just this evening, I had a good one. Here's an excerpt from my DJ entry:
There is a security guy sitting on the stage who looks at me while I walk past. As I come out from behind the speakers, there are two more that are looking at me funny. One of the guys says to me, “What, do you think this is some kind of a dream or something? You can't just walk around all over the place like that.” I reply, “Sure I can, silly. This is just a dream. I can do whatever I want.” He looks at me with a puzzled look, the walks away.

When I woke up, I couldn't help but to :facepalm:, followed by :bang:

The other morning I was having trouble getting to sleep, so I got up and started talking to my dad and then went back to bed after getting a snack. I then, thought for a second, and was wondering if that was all just a dream what happened. I i felt around for the snack I had gotten, and to my surprise, it was on my bed. I later woke up to realize that I was right, and both those awakenings I had were FA and I actually never got up. They basically felt real and the fact that I got out of bed and talked to my dad, and then went back to bed made it even more real. I've never had such a real FA. It was like the FA in the beginning of the movie vanilla sky.

Wow, i didnt realize this thread was dying. The post before the last one was all the way in may. This thread isn't going to die, cuz I'll save it lol.

I remember doing an RC in my dreams and I quickly just passed it off, even though I was dreaming. I felt terrible the next morning. That dream could have potentially been my first lucid, instead I had to wait a few more weeks.

Hmm well not long ago I had a dream that my house was right by a lake. Most of the neighborhood is where the lake was in the dream. My street was the only one in the dream that was there.

I moon bounce down some stairs pin a guy against a wall, and bring up a game menu and try to rage quit the dream. NOT LUCID

This is the honest to God truth: I had a dream where I went to sleep to try a lucid dream, even in the inception type dream in a dream I STILL didn't become lucid.

Last night I dreamed I was having a test that I hadn't studied for. In the dream I was so desperately trying to wake up, but i didn't become lucid :uhm:
