Some things you just don't tell the public. :shock:Quote:

I tell this to my friend who looks at me peculiarly and says; "thats nothing, how about this!"
He picks up a camera and starts filming the chess miniatures. Suddenly, summoned by the camera, from the foggy pieces rises a white ball of light that turns into balloon-like canvas with web-like surface that looks like an alien head! This definetly should have turned me lucid.
Luckily I had a brief period of lucidity later that night (last night by the way)!
Congratulations to you for your lucidity!:)Quote:

lol..
It seems we never become lucid as long as something has an explanation behind it, no matter how stupid it is.Quote:

I was in some market place and I went up to my dad and asked "Am I dreaming?" and he said "Yes." so I was like really?! And he said no. AND I BELIEVED HIM!!

This thread is AMAZING!! :lolxtreme:
I had this weird dream, in which I was sitting in a park with my friends, and we all had snipers, and were aiming at the passing cars. Neither did we realize how dangerous shooting a car could be, and nor did any police officer come to stop us. I remember that I wasn't the least bothered about this, and instead began to examine the snipers that were there. Didn't become lucid. :?
Another time I was in a non-lucid dream, and some DC comes and asks me, "Will you teach me how to lucid dream, master?" and somehow, I began teaching him. When I reached the RC part, I showed him my hand, and it had around 9 fingers. I tell him, " Look, when you do that in a dream, like this, your hand's fingers will be all messed up like this, so you can tell it's a dream"
"But doesn't that mean that we are dreaming right NOW?!"
"No, dumbass, I just did that to show you how and RC looks like."
"Ah, my bad." And then he walks away. What a stupid way to not become lucid.:angry:
Had a dream where I was a member of a Dream Expedition Party last night. We had all kind of expedition gear with us including electric pvc pipes. Huh!?! :D Actually we have those at the office, because about twice a month me and my boss hang some banners over the roads in waking life and those pipes are used to run the hanging wires through the banner.
Anyway, back to the dream. I was walking with this party in a desert and over dunes (that should have been the first clue, because we don't have those here in Scandinavia). Somehow I knew it was called a DREAM Expedition and when we returned from the desert we met a Chinese expedition party and they asked who we are and our leader said:
"We are the Dream Expedition Party. How was your expedition?"
"Really good, thank you.", replied the Chinese leader.
So I was out there looking for the dreams, but still I won't get lucid! :lol:
My school was an amusement park, and I actually remember thinking that it's always like that in dreams.
I`ve had a few:
1. A month or two ago, I dreamed I switched bodies with my friend Alex. I thought this was perfectly normal, because apparently you reach a point in friendships that makes it acceptable to switch bodies. :roll:
2. I was a character in a Pokemon game, and had a talking female Dragonair nicknamed Alejandro following me around...
3. My government teacher attempted to kill me after I found out that she was a serial killer. :shakehead2:
Never even thought to do a RC.
i was flying actually about 7 feet off the ground, not touching anything, and i guess my mind just thought "yep thats normal"
and another dream i was in this really strange place i cant really remember it well enough to describe it but it was definately not somewhere i have ever been or probably even seen, yet i was strolling around really involved without once suspecting a thing
I had a dream about lucid dreaming lol fail
last night I had a dream that I was explaining different RCs to my friend. He then asked me, "How do you know you're not dreaming right now?" to which I responded, "haha trust me, I think I would know". I also held my nose and kept breathing, to show him, but didn't think anything of it.
A few nights ago I dreamed that I was explaining RCs to my roommate. I pinched my nose and said that if this was a dream I'd be able to breathe in while pinching my nose, but I didn't try to breathe in. Then I told her that you should count your fingers. I looked at my hand and couldn't see any fingers at all, but I just thought that was normal.
Last week I also had a dream about a bloodsucking vampire ghost that lived in the sea and could possess people by eating lemon... I didn't think anything was weird about that either.
One dream I saw people walking around with headcrabs on their heads. I didn't even become lucid at all or consciously realize it. :(
Jumped out of the car sunroof when travelling on a very high bridge and glided down like a bird (without the wings). Didn't even stop to think about my reality. It was still an awesome dream though.
me tooQuote:

I then continued with the dream as if nothing was amiss.
The funny thing is I'd been thinking of thinking about attaining flight that way in a dream for most of the previous day, and I wasn't even lucid when I did it. I just started dream recall last week. XD
I successfully MILDed. 2 hours after I woke, I forgot the whole dream except for the fact that I was lucid.
time to work on dream recall.
This has happened to me many times! Lol. Just put a paper and pen by your bed and write it as soon as you wake up - even at 5AMQuote:

IRL, the light on my watch broke. I thought "Oh cool, now I have another dream sign. If the light on my watch works, I know I'm dreaming!"
Last night, I had a dream, and I hit the light button on my watch, and it worked. Rather than go lucid, I said: "Stink. The light works again! Now I can't use it as a dream sign." :P

Last night I dreamed of hanging out with a brother and sister for quite some time in their house. The brother was some sort of computer billionaire, and the house was full of giant moving toys, robots, a huge blue time machine. None of that made me think I might be dreaming, but eventually, when I was sitting at a table talking with the brother, the idea of dreaming crossed my mind. Obviously, I was not dreaming--everything was so vivid--but I decided to humor myself and counted the fingers on one hand: 5. Yep, just as I thought: not dreaming. And then the brother (DC) and I shared a little chuckle that I could have been so silly as to think I was dreaming. :-)
I am the library TA at school.
the assistant principal called me in telling me about complaints people had about me that day, then showed me laminated excuses written on post-its. I started thinking about what I did to get complaints, the didn't remember anything else from that day. I started trying to remember what it meant when I couldn't remember something from the same day, when I had to wake up IRL. Then I realised that it meant I was dreaming.
Me: "That train isn't normally here..."
DC: "Maybe this is a dream?"
Me: "Hmmm... Nah."
This happened when I was little
Me: Am I dreaming?
Sis: Yes...
Me: Oh so I can fly right?
Sis: Yeah.
Me: Cool. *I go upstairs and start watching TV*
-----
This one was more recent.
I was in my basement talking to my mom.
All of a sudden she transforms into an octopus.
And it was totally normal!!
-----
this was recent, too.
I was this palace place...And it was haunted by ghosts. Only I could see them. The owner couldn't. Nor could anyone else at all. These gghosts had weird shapes. One looked like a werewolf ghost, one looked like an ogre ghost...They were firing spells at me trying to kill me. Later on I though oooooh ok im dreaming! They can't hurt me! Then I stood there and let the werewolf grab me and I said "Kill me. Just kill me" I was sick of the pressure of hiding and running from them and I wasn't scared of dying.
It basically took me inside of itself which felt sooooo cool I felt kinda heavy like it was possessing me! It took me hiiiigh in the air, then I thought wait...If it drops me, Its gonna harm my real physical body too!! oh no......
It confuses me even now. I was dreaming, but my body was actually there? Don't get it at all. Probably never will lol.
-----
Another thing, off topic, my first lucid dream, I was playing with my best friend and this other DC who was apparently my other friend.
Did totally awesome stuff with them. it was so fun...Then we went on an iceburg and I said "OK its time for me to go now."
We were in a black hole and I let myself fall and I KNEW I WOULD WAKE UP! How stupid is that? I ended my own lucid dream and I was aware that I was ending it! gahh!
It was cool though as soon as I let go of the cloud i was holding on to, i saw myself falling from above. And as soon as I couldn't see myself at all, what a surprise, I woke up.
And I was sooo mad. I was all like WOW! Whyyy did I do that??? I didn't wanna wake up!
Just last night I had a lucid dream, and then I did the spinning technique. I had a false awakening in which the cat was curled up with me in bed even though I had shut my door that night. I assumed that, because the lights were off, I was not dreaming.
A perfect example of dream logic. ;)Quote:

I hung onto the bike bars on top of the minivan and we tried to do a getaway.
Last night: I was in a church and all my DC's were chanting: "There is no reality!" And then the preacher yelled back "Why is there no reality?" and they reply: "Because we're not real!" I mean...wtf, total miss.:(
I was taking a shit, eating greasy chinese food, and getting a BJ.
If that isn't something that never happens in reality.... you're a god.
Had a dream i was on this forum (I know, should've been lucid from that) and was reading a post by someone (Can't remember who, didn't write that down) and their signature said "Are you dreaming?" And dumb*** me just sat there reading the posts...
I was looking at my hands, counting my fingers. I first counted seven, then six.
Thinking that I was simply miscounting the whole time.
Wow, I am such an idiot.
I think I had one where someone told me straight up that I was dreaming...
Last night I dreamed that there were 3 new houses in a field close to where I live. While I was trying to figure out how they got there my brother told me that the world only changes when I'm asleep, but I didn't understand what he meant.
I've spent entire dreams talking about all of the things I've learned about lucid dreams without realizing I'm dreaming. Also, I seem to visit the same place in Mexico almost every other day and somehow I never make that connection in my dream. And also, I've been having a lot of dreams where I'm about fifteen years older than I am now and I have a family and everything and I never stop to question when this ever happened.
I've actually asked myself the question "Am I dreaming?" while in a dream and I still didn't become lucid.
I only just got another "I am dreaming! Go lucid already!!" then the apathy kicked in and it just turned into a normal dream.
People's heads were exploding all around me. My friends head started shaking and I told him "Your head's not going to explode, because this just a dream!" Damn it.:P
I was standing in a place like an old park I used to visit, which looked completely different, walking around with ghosts behind me and bare-foot over sharp rocks (which didn't hurt at all), when I suddenly walked through a doorway in to a library. I use doorways as a reminder to RC, so I tried to push my finger through my hand to see if I was dreaming. My hand was solid, and it didn't go through, so I thought it was real.
The ghosts confirmed my suspicion and told me it was real.
I woke up and punched myself hard.
in my dream last night i was being threatened with arrest by a police officer and i told her she could hurt me because it was my dream but i still failed to become lucid. FFFUUUUUUUUUUU-
Me and my mom were talking in one of my dreams. This was a TOTAL miss...
Me: I dont want to wake up, i dont want to get to the end of my dreams. He's going to end up dying i just know it
Mom: Its your dream you can do whatever you want
Me: I know but still...
Talk about missing x.o
Last night I felt my heart beat on the wrong side of my chest. I didn't go lucid, I just thought "hmm, that's weird. I thought my heart was on the other side." LOL
Based on some dreams I've had, your dream self can explain why your heartbeat is in your head.Quote:

For the second time now I dreamt I was LDing. I tried every method of flying I could think of; swimming, flapping, floating, growing wings etc. I proceeded to check out some pretty cool cityscape from above but I NEVER went lucid. Not even slightly. SO ANNOYING!
haha yea, some pretty weird things have happened in my dreams, but I don't think I've even gotten close to have an LD.
In an old dream I was jumping really high, and I thought that would be an easy dreamsign for future LDs. Then last night I had on these spring shoes and convinced myself that it was normal because there was springs on them and I wasn't just floating. *facepalm*
My stupidist way i have missed becoming lucid was when, one of my dream characters said "Well summon something for me" I said "I cant " he said " Yes you can" And i wondered what he meant, right at the ending of the dream i was like,.. Oh.. i could.. and my dream ended
Mine would be from a dream that had a giant who flung me into the ocean, and I could breathe underwater.
a dc walked up to me and said this is a dream lol
a year 11 was beating the shit out of me and it did not hurt
To quote my dream journal for last nights dreams; "I was talking to someone about making things more clear or real. I remember looking really closely at my hands and they were super sharp and crisp looking."
Actually having a conversation about the dream world followed by a reality check that obviously didn't induce lucidity. :(
Shit!! The absolute WORST miss EVER!!!!
Last night, I woke up from a lucid, and ended up in FA. Then I was seriously doubting reality. I looked at my hands, there were five fingers. I was about to go back to sleep, but the I poked my finger into my palm. It did not go through it. Even more proof that it was real life. I looked at some text, and then back again, there was no change. Then I checked out a mirror, and it was PERFECTLY normal. Lastly, I blocked my nose, but I could NOT breathe!!!
I mean, what THE hell??? How come ALL of those RCs failed so miserably??? I could have had a great lucid, but no, those RCs HAD to go and **** themselves up. :/
WOW. Now THAT is an epic fail.:|Quote:

No, I think not. This was a conversation that I had in my bed with my mother yelling at me after an FA just started:Quote:

I then did a lazy reality check, and just fell back to sleep.:facepalm:
^
but that was your own laziness, right? I was completely determined to have an LD and ALL of those freakin RCs didn't work. Two words : EPIC FAIL. :/
Alright, I was actually lucid when this happened, but I thought I would share it since something similar was mentioned higher up the page.
I'd set myself a lucid task to check my hands and my reflection the next time I became lucid. When I did become lucid (by turning on a light switch and realising that there wasn't one in that spot in real life, by the way), I checked my hand. Five fingers, no weird colours or shapes. Pretty normal there. Next I checked my reflection in my bedroom mirror, and it didn't look much different except that my hair was a little longer. I then proceeded to switch on the computer, remove my shirt and then punch a wall. My hand felt like it had hit nothing. Then I woke up.
Strange is it not?
Yeah, I guess you're right. We BOTH fail.Quote:

i remember vividly what i wrote, and the last word of the sentence was her name. i wrote it, look down at it and saw how it was spelled totally wrong, i laughed, crossed out and wrote it again , ofc it was again wrong. then i just gave up.
haha! but its not that bad, after that we were levitating..
Once I had a dream where something had happened to the real world, and suddenly the real world was governed by the laws of dream physics. I remember monsters were roaming the city and I was trying to ignore them so they wouldn't have influence over me.
I felt pretty bummed when I woke up, since I had been helping my friends and family adjust to the new world instead of experimenting.
I woke up in an FA. Took out my dream journal. In it, there was written "you are in an FA. Do an RC"
I just scribbled something on my DJ, and fell calmly back to sleep.
Nearly killed myself upon waking up.
literally or figuratively?:DQuote:

Well, I've only been at it for two nights, but by far my biggest fail was when I was sitting in an airplane hangar where my dad keeps his plane, at a small table eating cookies and discussing video games with Bill O'Reilly of all people, while the voice of my mother was in the back of my head demanding I clean my room. To add insult to injury, my phone wouldn't work the entire time. So many of my personal dream signs, but didn't get close to lucidity.
lmao ok all very funny post and at least im not the only one that kicks himself for not recognizing it was a dream.
but let me get this right...are we suppose to do R.C's in the dream state while unaware or after being lucid... i guess i answered my own question not much sense in doing it once your lucid soooo i guess it should be an instinctual rc while dreaming that would make you pop into lucidity
Actually, I always try to remember to do an RC after becoming lucid. It really clarifies the dream and helps me stay lucid for longer periods of time.Quote:

Sometimes,it seems impossible to escape FA...
Sucks...ain't it?

Well i didnt realize i fell asleep and im still hearing this your dreaming,do your R.C. be aware,on and on,in my dream,suddenly i have george lopez in my right ear and lucid remix in my left and i tell myself,thats weird...then im walking around outside and telling myself these earphones are keeping me awake and im not dreaming never mind getting lucid... so i take em out and try going to sleep...in a tent on someones front lawn in a strange neibourhood...
then,i really woke up earphones still in, and im like,wtf how could i miss all that...pulled em out for real went back to sleep and had a few more sweet dreams that i couldnt remember cuz i was too lazy to write em down when i woke up again at 4 am...
oh well ill try again tonight and see what happens,i definitely think i went directly into dream state due to the MP3
My friend was writing about his dream in what i think was his DJ. I said "Hey, you into LDing?" then he said, "Nah, just writing about this dream I had." "Oh, O.K." I replied... No lucidity for me :(
Recently a friend of mine completely shaved his head. In my dream, I saw him with his hair back. I was thoroughly confused, knowing he couldn't have regrown his hair so quickly. I reality checked briefly, then though, "Find another way to prove this is a dream."
But then I was attacked by an armoured knight and forced to fight for my illusive life.
I was talking with my brother about lucid dreaming and that he used to wake up in sp. He really wanted to try out Lucid dreaming. After about an hour after our talk I went to bed and this is what happend... I was with my dad on a boat.... when my brother kept asking me can I try to get lucid, please? May I try it once now?? So I finally decided to give him an try, and then all out of a sudden he was snowboarding above the trees in a forest (I was 3rd person). I then thought shit, i'm jealous that I didnt become Lucid.
Also I finished highschool 2 years ago, when I was 17. I remember the most important mark I needed was for the class ''drawing''. I had to make a test and I worked 2 and a half hours on it. Some other girl in my class didnt work on it and she had a higher mark then me, so I was pissed off. I told him to relook at it. When I was dreaming I dreamed that he gave me lower then it already was, so I did a reality check and realised I was dreaming. I was shouting at all the dc that I was dreaming, but didnt become lucid, lol. I also bought myself a twix.
i had one dream today that i was showing my friends how to fly ¬¬, i was flying and one of my friends said: how are you flying? i said: because i am sleepy. then another friend said: wow, now im gonna start practising lucid dreams!
and i didnt become lucid seriusly, WTF!?
I was sitting at a table in a library with a dream girl who had red hair. She took out a journal and showed it to me.
Me: Wow, these are your dreams!
Her: Yup, I write them all down.
Me: This one's really awesome. I wish I could have cool dreams.
Her: They are pretty fun.
Me: Hey, this one's a lucid! I love lucid dreams, I wish I could have them.
Her: Well, you have to work at them.
Doh.
I also had a dream where I decided that I was a fairy with some odd fairy friend. I decided that I was dreaming and I told this friend. I didn't actually realize I was dreaming, just told this friend. That was probably an epic fail.
I'm practically an atheist, but I was perfectly fine with having the Roman goddess Venus make me a sandwich that read to me lines from the Aeneid (in Swedish, a language that I don't speak) when I ate it.
Trying to go turn off the light but can't walk to it because my body is like jelly going back and forth and hitting the walls, which were more like mattresses
Last night I was speaking to a friend of mine who had 2 smaller ears in the top of his normal ears, which were completely green.
Also, last week I had a glass of water and started pulling at the glass like it was a cross between a liquid and elastic, it would come out as I pulled it and then spring back gently when I let go.
I can't believe that I was completely content with both of these things happening :P
The other night I had a dream where I was laying naked on the floor of my bathroom cuddling with toilet plungers and I thought, "This might be a dream. I should do an RC... Nah, I know this is real." I almost cried upon waking.
There was a "torturer" at my OLD OLD house!
DC : You know, the dinosaurs fighting there is almost like a dream.
Me : No dude, this is a dream. Look, if I snap my fingers, they disappear.
DC : Whoa!! Cool!!
Me : Yeah.......
DC : So uh, about the salami.........
Didn't become lucid. :( Stupid DC!!!
Once, in my dream the rapture was about to happen, I am in my living room and I look over at the desktop computer. DV is on screen. I say Oh dammit and I haven't even had a LD yet!!
Before I learned how to really talk in dreams, someone offered be something, and I went to pick one up and say something, I then woke up. I was trying to say it in real life.. I went lucid later though. xP
Hahaha Yeah totally happened tons of times to me when i started trying this lol. Around the first couple weeks when i started, i remembered to look at my hands in my dream. And i noticed i had 6 fingers. And i was like WTF! i have 6 fingers!?... Then i just thought about it for a second and was like dam..... Im the freak with 6 fingers.... Oh well :p hahaha
When I had my first LD before joining here (it was actually a total accident) the french guard from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" was there. He kept insulting me, and by the time he got to "I FART in your general direction!" I woke up. It was too hilarious.
Lol wow, sounds awesome.
Was an accomplice of a book character in the hijacking of a bubble-gum truck, which was in the middle of a jungle. And the book character kept on throwing bubble-gum out the window saying that the explosions would slow down the cops. :)
simone93 that's a really funny one:lol:
A few days ago I was dreaming that I was telling a priest about the a dream I had.
In another dream I was telling my best friend about my latest dreams and lucid dreams and when I told her I dreamed about someone the person appeared and smiled :!:
Also I've had lots of false awakenings where I would write in mu dream journal
I went to a gas station with afriend and bought gasoline to help with having a lucid dream, which is wierd for four reasons.
1. I don't have a lot of money.
2. I don't know a gas station by the name of goils
3. The gas stations is in the middle of an indoor mall (Malls/Stores/Hospitals are the most common places I go when I dream).
4. The friend I'm talking to is a monkey.
I just can't take a hint. Even when my self is tring to tell me I'm dreaming.
Yeah I missed something pretty obvious that should've made me lucid. I was on a rollercoaster and suddenly a London bus came down the other end of the track in front of me. I managed to jump off but apparently it was part of the ride. Then I had to jump down a 100 foot waterfall into a 1 meter wide hole. After all that I still wasn't lucid.
Yeah I have had heaps of these, like driving my car on water, walking into a room with a bunch of toilets (with no partitions), seeing people in places they shouldn't be, finding myself back at highschool...
But I have found that if you decide that everytime you question whether your dreaming, that you probably are... Then you should be right, cause I don't think I've ever mistaken real life for a dream.
haha i just woke up and had to get on and post this.. I actualy had a LD, it was very short and not clear at all, anyways the false awakening is the part that I cant believe i didnt re become lucid. I woke up and was like , damn that was a horrible LD, then looked over and the girl from the show glee was sleeping next to me, lol dont know how i didnt realize it was still a dream! damn FA's .. btw does anybody else have their clearest and longest LDs after False awakening then realizing its a dream and becoming lucid that way?
yeah thats something Im trying to teach myself, if at any point im like, is this a dream? then it is lolQuote:

A few months ago when I was WILDing, while in bed for about 20minutes my friend enters the room, sits down next to me and asks "what are you doing?".
I replied in an irritated voice "I'm trying to have a lucid dream, could you please leave me alone". He apologized and left the room.
The whole thing was of course a dream, which I realized when I woke up. I explained to him what happened and we both had a good laugh.
Apparently my dreaming self thinks floating around everywhere is perfectly normal lol.
Sister woke me up about a text right when I was on the verges of a dream (seriously, almost done walking over my fictitious Lucid Bridge, eyelids fluttering, eyes moving like no tomorrow). In my fright I punched her in the stomach because I thought I was being assailed by an assassin.
last night i was having a magical duel with my friend but i was too powerful and created a smoke monster in the mall. i pinched my nose and tried to breath and it still worked, but i was convinced the scene was too real to be a dream. damn
I dreamt about school. First of all, it is summer, and I don't have school. That shouldn't tipped me off.
Then, when reading a packet, I even thought to myself, "Am I dreaming?". Then I just continued on with the packet.
I'd rather do work than become lucid. LOL
Well i was planning on attempting a WILD that night and then i dreamt i was at a shopping centre and i felt half asleep and i was like in a shopping trolley getting pushed around by my family and then i kept telling everyone to shut up because i wanted to WILD and i was not comfortable and i was pissed i kept wanting to then i woke up and was to tired so went back to bed
I had a FA but thought somethings wrong so I pinched my nose and was able to breath.I became lucid and started flying and closed my eyes imagining I a scene so I would get there.I almost did it but I thought about awakening and woke up.I didn't move at all so I could go back in my dream but for some reason my toes started moving in a weird way without me doing anything.So I thought: Damn it!!!Why are my toes moving like this??!!So I went back to sleep.Only the next day I realized it must have been another FA :shock:
My first semi-lucid dream... I could feel myself waking up and didn't know how to stay in it :(
I had one last night... so close, I was going to pinch my nose, but then my brother was there, he asked me if I was lucid... I said yes.
GODDAMMIT!
I had one the other night. For some reason I had to get into a raft naked to go down the river but the girl behind me was fully clothed... I wanted to kick myself lol.
I had a very big one recently. I saw myself in a classroom type place, and I heard someone across the room mention something about consciousness. I immediately became interested, and what followed was a full-out discussion about lucid dreaming without me even realising it was a dream. Then after that, someone put on some music and then madly slid over and back under a table in rapid succession many times.
I play First-Person Shooter games...And when I am trying to WILD, Soldiers shot me so I can't WILD...(But I am already in a dream and can't figure it out....)The only thing I would have to do is to do a Reality Check...:panic:
Last one i had a dream about some douchebag at my school, and he was hanging out with me.
Then i woke up and i realized, wait WTF - I don't even personally know this kid lol
Okay this is RIDICULOUS. So today, I set the alarm to 6 in the morning. I wake up, wash, eat breakfast, and zonk out again. I hear an alarm again. Look at the time. Wtf? 6 o'clock. Oh well, false awakening, I think. I go out of bed. Go to the washroom, wash my face, eat another (unsatisfying) breakfast, and then pass out AGAIN. Now guess what happened? I hear an alarm bell once more. I look at the time. 6 o
clock. What THE hell? I check my hands. Five fingers. Then, I pinch my nose. Can't breathe. Dang!
Shoulda reality checked when I had the chance. -_-
I was a DEA agent in a dream and raided a house, found some baggies of weed and one baggie of what looked like chives and smelled like chives. I was like "what the...? this isnt drugs... these are chives... *thinks*... looks around and everyone being arrested around me had stopped and was staring at me silent (as if waiting for my next command or for me to realize it was a dream!) ...*thinks more... looks at chives* chives arent drugs.. this is strange... OH I KNOW! I GOTTA GO PUT THIS BAGGIE OF WEED IN MY SHOE FOR LATER!"
*wakes up*
my first thought upon waking was *FACEPALM*
Ok, once I while in a dream I saw a movie named "Dragon Wars" which I I didn't recognize and realized that it was a dream. At that moment I had complete control and was Lucid then my alarm clock rings and with fear I realize I am not waking up. I become afraid that I miss my college class and try to force myself awake. I then find myself in bed but still asleep so I try again to wake up. This time I am successful and wake up only to discover that my alarm clock is not on, and horror sets in as I realize I on summer break!!!!! I don't have classes yet!!!!
I became lucid last week and began to slip out of it almost immediately. I told myself out loud, "don't forget that you're dreaming!" ...I lost lucidity anyways.
This happened twice in the same dream, and I didn't stay lucid for more than a few seconds each time.
Not necessarily missing lucidity, but it was definitely annoying once I woke up.
It actually happened last night. Every class from the DV Academy were on "dream teams" and were competing on who could become lucid first. I was really disappointed too because I couldn't join a class because I haven't been a member for 2 weeks yet. -_____-
I also had one a couple weeks ago when the radio played this song about dreaming and a dc started singing along.
LoL atleast you didnt work whole day to realise at the end of the day...DANG I am dreaming...lol:bang:Quote:

I looked at my hands to discover that my right hand has one or two extra fingers. I got really excited, but I sat down and said to myself: "Stay calm...I'm dreaming...stay calm...I'm dreaming..." I was hyperventilating as I talked to myself... I stood up after a few tries and then lost lucidity. Total lucid time: about 10 seconds.
Fortunately a few days later I had a second lucid: it was around ten minutes long, and I did a ton of awesome things (i.e.: force a frog to spontaneously combust, make a crowd disappear, levitate 20 feet in the air...good times). :boogie:
Forgot to post this a while ago - I was levitating a plastic grocery bag with my mind, right in front of my face.
A few weeks ago I had a dream where I was camping with Stephen LaBerge. When I saw him coming out of his tent I decided to do an RC in front of him, to show him that I was learning to lucid dream. I pinched my nose and quickly tried to breathe. I'm pretty sure I did it too quickly, because I didn't even notice if I could breathe or not. LaBerge didn't understand what I was doing. He looked at me strangely, and said, "I don't know what that was, but I don't think it worked."
well, the first one was when i watched a video the night before with this one dude telling how to get lucid.then i dreamed that night and i saw him as a mii character (wtf?) and i was like, Hey! theres that lucid dream guy!....wait... i think im missing something...nah, its nothing.
i woke up the next morning. Ugh! that was stupid.
then i tried a WILD, and i saw patterns and a tunnel of squares with a picture at the end, i was like "Woah!" then it dissapeared and i got angry at that too =(.

and i said "hauaaa....wasss i dreeeming?"
i felt like an idiot.
Just woke up from a nap. My dream was that I was chilling in my house, and suddenly I hear police yelling for me to come outside. I come out, and they are looking for some kind of file. They tell me to look on my computer, and so I go inside and get on it. I search like... the entire drive for the file, and never find it. I probably would have became lucid except for the fact that nothing on the computer's screen was out of place. So in my dream I was just like, "God damn it!" and woke up.
I proceeded to get some breakfast, and suddenly realized how close I was to lucidity. Awesome...
My mind's a cunning one, I'll give it that. It uses the fact that I was a gullible child against me, and it works everytime.
When I was a kid I had harsh back pains for a few weeks. I told my mum about it at around the time my dad was run over and broke his back, and my mum kept saying it was sympathy pains. As much as I'd have liked to go to the doctors, in my head I'd keep telling myself "it's just sympathy pains". Now, over 12 years after, when something ridiculous happens in my dreams someone will come along and remind me "it's just sympathy pains".
Hurricanes in the middle of England? Sympathy pains. Hands have turned into squids? Sympathy pains. Both of your legs have been ripped from their sockets by a 50 foot baby? Sympathy pains.... Yeah, thanks mum :(
The reason you missed the lucid dream? Sympathy pains, of course! Sorry, I just find that hilarious. :cackle:Quote:

Your laughter hurts me.... And it isn't sympathy :p
The only reason I don't add it to my list of recurring dream signs it's just so darned silly. I hoped I'd grow out of it. It's like my subconscious has become that bully from school who has a little bit of dirt on you and clings to it to use as ammo. "Hey stupid brains...sympathy pains! *giggle*" :shakehead2:
No, no, no. I wasn't making fun of you, I just find the idea of sympathy pains funny. If it helps, I was more gullible than you were when I was little. I asked my father to make me a magic cupcake; I thought it was possible because I saw it on a cartoon. How about that?
...Don't be ridiculous, we all know magic cupcakes are real :P
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...atastrophe.jpg
Yes, of course they are.
Haha, these are all great XD
I had a dream I was in my chorus classroom and for some reason whenever I sat down it was like a spring and I shot up and hit the ceiling and floated slowly back down. You'd think this would cause me to wonder about gravity, but I just kept doing it because it was fun. Figures.
I had another dream where I was looking at the clock and the time was melting...nope, that appeared perfectly normal to me.
Even that time I had a dream that I morphed into a green dragon while flying through my school, and having Professor Snape as my bible teacher while various school authorities were trying to shoot me down didn't trigger a LD... I've got a lot of work cut out for me >_>
LOL OMG That's a good one!!!:rolllaugh:Quote:

I had a dream where i went on a field trip just to go to a water park during school and on the way back there was a giant rip(portal) in the sky with all sorts of colors in it. I didn't think this way strange although I was kind of worried and closed my eyes and teleported home. I didn't think this was strange either. lol
One of the first times I tried WBTB, I set my alarm for something like 5:30. After being up for about 25 minutes I went back to sleep, after repeating the mantra "tonight I will lucid dream". Unfortunately, this carried over into the dream in entirely the wrong way, and I spent all night dreaming ABOUT trying to fall asleep and lucid dream while at college. If it had ocurred to me to reality check then things may have been different :(
Sounds familiar. The other night I dreamed I was trying to WILD and didn't RC. The next night I dreamed I was trying to WILD again and luckily that time I caught it with an RC.
I was jumping(huge jumps) around on floating islands and trees were growing and growing, trying to root me, my body was vibrating in colors, like when Mario picks up a shroom or flower. I was very skeptical about this and said in the dream, that I must be dreaming because this is not real. I didn't care and my dream went back to auto-pilot. I was so angry because I do RC every hour and question that "is this real?" and "how did I get here".
Being careless fail. :panic:
In my dream last night I found Steve Carrell... he took me outside and told me when this guy on a tractor was going to die.
Yeah, like that's normal. :doh:
I had a dream a couple years ago when I was in Orgrimmar (from World of Warcraft) with a couple friends. My German teacher came up to me and said "hold your nose". I completely missed that.
first post!
did some research on "tension tamer tea" in real life, in my dream my brother had it, i remember the box perfectly, and i freaked out and told him that I've been trying to get it to lucid dream- and then his eyes got really wide, and his mouth hung open in shock, like he was trying to say something- like EXTREME excitement.... but i got none of it. hahah. maybe my dream brother is hinting at me.
Oh boy, here's another good one. The other night, I was dreaming about riding a bicycle. I decided I wanted to go for a bike ride in Crackley Wood (about 5 miles from where I live). I picked up a map, imagined myself there, and in a second I'd teleported myself to the gate at the entrance to the woods. For the entirity of the dream I was completely non-lucid.
Fuuuuuuuuuck.
hey ive just started researching all this (partly cuz inceptions freakin awesome) and i have a question for any pros. when u go lucid, how much like real life does it feel? is it like walking around during the day or does it feel just like a regular dream? is it as difficult to picture the dream in your head afterward? pleez reply lol cuz if its really vivid im putting all the effort in i can!
Well I haven't read the other comments but one of my dreams I was talking to my best friend telling him all about lucid dreaming and how I wanted to have one when I woke up I literally laughed out loud. I think that's pretty hard to top.
It can vary, but lucid dreams are typically far more vivid than regular dreams, as far as I can gather.Quote:

I can't really describe a lucid dream. You can look around, feel things... it does feel real, but there's something about it that's... just different.Quote:

Which should have been another clue.
I am running away form someone when I stop and turn around to see them standing there.
Me: I'm dreaming and no longer afraid of you so just go away.
DC: No you're not
Me: Yes I am, here I'll prove it will a simple nose plug RC. I pinch my nose fully and can still breath.
Me: Dammit you're right I can still breath through my plugged nose.
DC: See I told you you were not dreaming now run, I like to chase you.
Me: Oh alright. (in a defeated tone)
I start to run again and hear the DC laugh an evil laugh as he begins to chase me.
I wake up shortly after this and smack my forehead for not realizing me still breathing meant I was dreaming and the RC was positive LOL. I have had more then one dream like this as I use this RC often in RL and in dreams.
I was on Dream Views, reading a thread by Mzzkc. The thread was about stupid ways people miss becoming lucid. I was reading his post, and I laughed. I then proceeded to say "He should do reality checks more often, like me." I woke up after reading five pages of the thread.
Last night my grandfather drove us off a cliff in a car. The whole time I was just like, "WHEEEE!'" :bang:
I was sitting at the big dinner table at home, with lots of relatives and friends. There was this extremely hot chick sitting next to me, never seen her before in real life, but it was like I knew her from somewhere. Anyways, I'm enjoying my dinner and suddenly this chick turns to me, rams her tongue in my mouth and grabs my dick :D She's really going at it, and we stop, and dinner resumes... One other funny thing was, for a few seconds it was like I was seeing through a camera in the back of my throat, so I could see her tongue going crazy in my mouth for a few seconds, then it went back to first person.
HOW COULD I HAVE MISSED THAT?
I went to my uncles lucid dreaming camp to learn LDs. The whole plotline was centered around it. When I got insurance at a place the woman asked me why I needed it.
I answer: In case I break a dream leg! Ha ha!
I swear I almost killed someone.
Just last night, I ended up with two girls in my bed (No sex, unfortunately.) and my mom came into my room, and caught me with the two girls in my bed. She, in her typical mom-style, demanded to know what was going on here. I explained to her that I had been in a dream state, and that these girls were left over from that dream. I told her that I was pretty sure I still was in a dream state, too.
Of course, I didn't go lucid. Even when I myself admitted I was probably in a dream.
I dreamt I was watching Inception and didn't think to RC :bang:
This morning, I was thinking about incubating a MILD during a dream.
Also last night, I was talking to one of my teachers about watching Breaking Bad WHILE I WAS HELPING WALTER AND JESSE OUT WITH THEIR COOKING.
FFS, my dream-self is retarded.
2 nights in a row, now, I've been right on the verge of becoming lucid, but been too distracted by what I was doing in the dream. God damn.
Yesterday I missed an oppurnity:
i was on a funeral of someone I didn't know at all and in the middle of the ceremony, our schooldirector came in, danced, jumped, was listening to an i-pod and sang the chorusline of "Can't stop feeling" (a song of Franz Ferdinand) which goes : "And you can't feel anymore" *sarcasm*. And it seemed to me normal :panic:
People from my work are usually always in my dreams...I always perform reality checks while I'm around them in real life, but never tend to do it in a dream =(
I remembered two dreams from last night. One involved a realistic scenario which somehow (I'm still not sure how) prompted me to do a reality check and become lucid, before becoming too excited and waking up.
My next dream involved professional basketball players playing skeeball with pretzels in a fancy stadium.
A reality check never occurred to me.
I hate it I become lucid in the most realistic dreams sometimes but in a dream that I was patching holes in a boat with song lyrics the thought never occured to me that it could have been a dream. I moved my hand over a hole and just heard music that wasnt really even there I just felt like I was hearing music and the holes werent there when my hand passed over them........
Yesterday I went and kissed a friend of mine on the cheek while she was filling a beer glass, a friend I had just helped out and made sure she kept her job at Merlot's from true blood. While I did this I was picking up my dream journal to write about a dream, never bothered to reality check :bang:
Last night I had a dream where I was taking some really disgusting homeopathic medicine. Normally in real life, I'd plug my nose so that I wouldn't taste it, but it just so happens that I decided to drink it without plugging my nose this time. IF I'D PLUGGED MY NOSE, I'D HAVE REALIZED THAT I COULD STILL BREATHE!
I got freaked out during WILD, and then abort my attempt :damnit:
...I can't say I blame you. If I saw something scary during SP, I'd go crazy just trying to wake up and make it go away. What was it that made you "abort the mission?"Quote:

Really don't know how I didn't notice especially since I logged onto this site and even talked about lucid dreaming...
Boy do I have a story for you guys - this just happened to me in this morning's dream.
I was in a very vivid surreal 3d environment/world, sort of 3d nature in shades of blue/purple, where I did stuff like catch a beautiful butterfly and it turned out to be quite sticky. All the while I was saying stuff like "I do not belong to this reality" - not sure if that was the exact phrasing - stuff like "your reality doesn't correspond to my own". I then began constructing a teleport/portal to my own world (construct in the strategy game sense of the word where the construction is abstract and happens automatically), I accidentally built 2, however instead of teleports I built like a playground+hut x2. I was surprised by this "glitch" and thought this could be a dream, however I don't think I did a proper RC and soon forgot about the possibility of this being a dream.
there was an explosion. of walnuts. from basketball hoops.
I dreamt of listening to a Tupac song where he rapped:
"Im stuck in a lucid dream" or something like this, and I rewinded and listened to it again and I was amazed at it.. but never realised I was dreaming lol!!!
"Im stuck in a lucid dream, it's 1994 and im talking to YOU Easy123..."Quote:

I dont see how you cant remember a lucid dream even if you have the worst recall out of anyone on here. I have horrible recall but I remember all of my lucid dreams just as much if not more than waking life memories.
same with both my lucidsQuote:

It wasn't until like, later in the afternoon the next day I'm like '... oh. shit.' I'm so slow.
hahahaa last night i dreamed i was telling my sister about reality checks
although, I didn't actually do any
FAIL!
I looked at my hands once in a dream and assumed it was perfectly normal I had 3 fingers. :eek:
I was describing one of my first LD's and how good it felt and how freeing and amazing it was... to a DC
Well havent had a dream that I can remember in a while but yesterday I fell asleep on the bus and somehow I realized I was asleep but I wasnt dreaming. i tried to form a dream but I couldnt because I didnt have anything at all to work with I didnt even have any senses I knew I was on the bus but I couldnt even feel my body and I didnt have a dream so obviously no dream body either. My consciousness was in a dark void. So I just woke myself up
Last night I did several reality checks, missed a dream sign, and floated. ._.
