Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

well I was talking with some dudes about lucid dreaming, and decides to try do it our self. Well it worked, so I had a lucid dream in my dream and then I/we woke up and started to talk about it again.

I did never think about doing a rc -.-!

Srry for bad english

I was once flying (without even knowing it). so i flew over my appartment and said to myself "why are nobody coming up here with me? im bored" then i woke up. i actually banged the back of my hand against the wall, it hurt BADLY.

I was at work (in my dream) which is a place that I associate with a dream sign for some reason, and a girl at work (again I associate her as being one of my dream signs) walked passed me. I stopped her by calling out her name, and the rest went like this . . .

Girl - Hey, how are you?
Me - Fine. Listen, am I dreaming?
Girl - Yes, you are.
Me - Fuckin' sweet! Okay, what do I do now?
Girl - Get back to work dumbass.

And I did go right back to work! I wanted to flip her off the next day when I saw her.

I get false awakenings all the time and always forget to rc it's specially annoying since i'll have a false awakening right after having a lucid dream and the first thing i want to do is write about the dream...within a dream...i'm really bad at rcs lol

This is the dream. It's not that long, maybe 3 small paragraphs... Monster Hunter Dream-Attempt at w.i.l.d., fail miserably... - Dream Journals - Lucid Dreaming - Dream Views

Well in a nutshell, I attempted a W.I.L.D and woke up and got outta bed in my dream and looked at my hands and around me for anything dream signs and EVERYTHING LOOKED NORMAL. Then I go outside and see the coldfront that was supposed to come in and it starts snowing in an area of Texas that almost never snows. I then hear a roar and THIS is what I saw: http://images.wikia.com/monsterhunte.../Blankonga.png

Felt stupid afterwards :/

I've been trying to have my very first lucid dream for months now. Last night, I was able to the RC when you look at your hands. My right hand had an eyeball in it, and my left hand had extra fingers, but they were flipped inside out. My dumbass says "oh this looks weird I have to flip these fingers back to normal"

STUPID STUPID STUPID!!!!!

I was walking down my hallway (I think I was naked) and I did the nose-plug test. because I was congested, I got a false negative for the reality check, and my dad in the dream gave me a scowl and I drifted asleep. I was pissed when I woke up Dx

Oh I had a bad one this morning. In my dream I did two reality checks that both indicated that I was not dreaming. I tried the nose plug and pushing finger through palm checks. then when I had given up the idea that I may be dreaming I saw a truck with a digital clock on it. The clock was messed up at first and them after staring at it it became clear and stayed clear for the rest of the dream. I attributed the unclear clock to me just being tired and didnt realize I REALLY WAS dreaming until I woke up.

Here is a link to my dj entry http://www.dreamviews.com/blogs/wate...ming-no-26547/

Once, when I was a kid, I dreamed I was at a party and I just realized I was in a dream. I was asking people in the dream how to wake up from the dream.

Today I believe I had my very first lucid dream, but it was a dream within another dream. I didn't get much sleep last night, but I had 4 hours before I had to be up for work. So here is the dream:

Regular setting in my house, and something happened can't quite remember, but it was weird and I said maybe I'm dreaming, I did a reality check, proving I was dreaming. But here is the weird part, I said "Hey that's cool, I'm dreaming" all of a sudden I'm in my bed (in the dream) and I started feeling the sleep paralysis, and I tried to do the roll over method to enter my lucid dream (within in the dream). But I winded up waking myself up in the first dream. And then the dream carried on normally until other random weird crap happened. And I still didnt go lucid. Then my alarm went off (reality) and I finally woke up for real. Did I really get lucid without dream control, or was this something unexplainable?

well you became lucid for a short while but then had a false awakening which caused you to lose luciidity.

Some days ago I had a dream in which I was in a classroom during a psychology lesson. The lesson was about lucid dreaming and the different techniques you can use to achieve lucidity. The teacher asked if anyone knew about WILD and I explained the technique... How could I miss that rofl

@Waterknight - Is there a way to prevent false awakenings, or is there a way to gain dream control once lucid?
@Skalord - Thats halarious, sounds like my luck lol

Prevent false awakenings, no, but you can gain advantage of them. Each and every time you wake up, do a reality check.

Just a week or so ago, I dreamt about talking to my friend about lucid dreaming. I was explaining all this stuff about how to RC and do everything properly, and it was at least a ten minute conversation. I think I may have even RCed...when I woke up I was like "WTF, REALLY?" I was so ashamed of my fail, lol.

First post up in here and I've gotta post ways I've missed being lucid..

#1:
i went to the library and my dream to check out a book ABOUT LUCID DREAMING! I remember reading the title and seeing the picture of a man's face and everything on it. I woke up and was extremely frustrated that i did not question my dreaming.

#2:
I had a sleep over party with a few friends and we were talking about being False Awakenings and that my friend just had one! Also, I remember rationing out Lucid Pills that same day..


Don't know why I didn't catch myself.

I have a recurring dreamsign where I can't find a decent public restroom, and if I find one there is no privacy. The other night I dreamed I was in a convenience store, and I needed to use the restroom. They directed me down a hallway, at the end of which was a door leading to the women's restroom and a bench along the wall. I found out that the men's actually the space between the bench and the wall. As I squatted down trying to find privacy behind the bench and seeing the women go in and out of their real restroom next to me, I remembered my previous dreams and said angrily "who is the idiot who keeps designing men's restrooms anyway?!"

I have since gotten better at recognizing this sign. Although the other night I had one of the stupidist reactions upon becoming lucid. I have found that engaging my senses upon becoming lucid helps to solidify the dream, so when I realized the old ladies who wouldn't leave the men's restroom were a dreamsign, I immediately dropped to the floor to smell and taste it like I have done in the past in cleaner environments. Ugh.

My mistake is always the same one.

I go to bed, not intending a Lucid or anything at all, and I just relax and let my brain process the happenings of the day, and I feel heavier and I think "Ahhhh almost asleep.." and then I get the visual hallucinations, and then the audio hallucinations.. ..and they freak me out so much I jolt awake. And when I'm awake I facepalm, realizing I've missed the chance for a lucid dream. Again. And then, of course, it doesn't work when I go back to sleep because I'm so worked up (and have a painful forhead from trying to slap my derpiness out of my face)..

I could seriously kick myself for the amount of times I've missed this opportunity.

I'm playing a base guitar. It sounds like an electric acoustic guitar and it sounds awesome. I think "Wait, playing a guitar is hard" after that it sounded horrible.

The night before (recorded it in my DJ) I dreamed about everyone "hanging out" off of sky scrapper windows thinking when the buildings get tipped over they will fly to another building and be fine.

Or the time my parents in my dream where too lazy to drive, and wanted me to drive despite me having no drivers license. It was so hard to drive and felt like I was going to wreck. I finally took the SUV like vehicle into the dirt and some cop pulled another guy over and I thought I was busted and was going to jail.

There where so many stupid times where i should of became lucid but didn't. Like this morning, I was on a train full of justice league cartoon characters and when they all lined up to face a laser came out of no where and made a tunnel out of all of them. They all lived too. Just..Wow

Eaten by dinosaurs and spawned again before dinosaurs to be eaten again

I was fighting three Asian guys, things were getting pretty bloody and then I said "It's funny Cause I don't like gore in my dreams, if makes me feel weird" and then continued fighting without becoming lucid.

Last night I spent the whole dream explaining lucid dreaming to someone and failed to realize I was in a dream. ._.

I had one night from hell in college that was caused in large part by a failure on my part to do my normal "am i dreaming" routine i typically do for false awakenings. I have had many false awakenings and for me it is often difficult to tell i am having one because i have all five senses in dreams (so the pinch yourself trick never works).
Once i "woke up" and the sunlight was shining through my bedroom window. I could hear my room mates talking in the other room and one said "where is he i haven't seen him all day!" and then the other said "he is probably still in class and he will be back later. Now, one of my little tricks (i think you call it an RC) is that i ALWAYS wear a watch and I have a clock in my bedroom. I find if the two clocks don't match and one isn't dead, it means I'm dreaming. But, this time, i didn't do that for some stupid reason i just looked at my watch. The time was 5:45pm and for some stupid reason i did not think to look at the alarm clock on my desk (which probably would have said something completely different alerting me to the fact i was dreaming) so i just lie there in bed looking at the ceiling thinking of what i was going to email all my professors/group for research methods explaining why i missed class.
Then my alarm "rings" and i wake up, but again, i only check my watch. It reads 6:45 AM which is what it is supposed to read and so i go take a shower and then once i get out, i notice my room mate's door is open and the light is on which usually means he is up, but when I go in to talk to him he is isn't there. When I go outside I realize there is no one on campus or in town. At this point I realize I am dreaming but the alarm clock “goes off” again and I wake up, fail to check the other clock for the second time, check my watch and it reads 6:45 so I get into the shower, then head to breakfast and that was when the real alarm went off. At that point I did check both clocks and that was how I knew it was over. But at that point I was getting really sick of repeating my morning routine ><.
