Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

I had this dream where i was part of a lucid dreaming society, and I attended three meetings without relising it was a dream lol

I was going underwater and back up to avoid being attacked by zombies. I breathed in while underwater, just fine. I got really confused, because I wasn't sure if you were supposed to breathe in or out underwater. I think I ended up brushing the thought aside because I didn't come to a conclusion. Damn, at least I was close.

Yesterday i had a dream in which i did a nose-plug RC, because our bathroom was totally differently furnished than in real. The RC failed and i accepted that my parents must've changed it or something... -.-"

Some days ago i dreamt that i was practicing lucid dreaming on the street with other people... sigh.

Took my pet Tyrannosaurus to the vet a while ago. Didn't notice anything strange about that.

The vet was Dr. Dre, of course that was also normal.

Last night, I dreamed that I was walking through my estate from Hidden Chronicles (a Zynga game) and one of my neighbors' estates that bordered mine. I admired all the beautiful buildings, found Estate Cash on the ground, and even interacted with my neighbor. The whole time, I was aware that I was in a computer-game virtual world, but I never realized I was dreaming.

I wanted to go to a café on WILD Street, but the bus took a different route and I ended up on DEILD Street.

seeing a 10 foot mural of my dream map painted on a wall. which then just changes to another scene and i still dont get it.

been taking a break from the dream map but going back to it tonight. the most powerful thing ive ever done to boost my dreams was the time i spent drawing it

My cat told me I was dreaming last night.

I can't even think of a way that it could have been clearer... fml... I don't even have a fucking cat.

Recently, I was watching BBC news with my family and had a bowl of Shreddies. I looked at the clock and then again, I was about to nose pinch but I didn't want to spill the bowl and I said "It's ok, I know I'm not dreaming". Then I woke up, goes to show how real dreams can feel.

I kidnapped a talking hedgehog and made a boat for it out of a shoebox and made it float infront of me while I was swimming. I did this in the dream because I thought it would give me a lucid dream.... perfectly logical.

I noticed a whole football pitch, that I often walk by was in a dfferent place than usual,
I didn't reality check because people were watching me...

In a dream I was showing my friend my new mobile phone and it started to melt. I said to my friend, 'If this was a dream I would know that I'm dreaming as mobile phones don't melt like that for no reason'

In my most recent dream, I was pretty much naked at school, and everyone was like "alright." Then suddenly I was fully dressed and I was like "Alright!" Because apparently it's perfectly normal for me to be at school almost naked with everyone being fine with it and then clothes suddenly appearing on my body. Definitely not something which can only be expected of a dream.

Laberg lecturing in front of us about Sensory Input, i dont really realize that i was a dream. That night before i've seen it on youtube

my front garden becomes a desert and i watch coin size rabbits running around it, then 2 meerkats race their young through the front room, pausing on the doorframe to stare at us hypnotically. i just chalk it down to global warming....

Last month I had a streak of stressful or nightmarish dreams. I haven't gone lucid in over a year, but my dreams this past month were quite vivid though. The thing I've realized about all these dreams is that I get out the bad situations by forcing myself awake.

"Oh crap, we're going to die."
"No, we're not, I'm just going to wake up right now."

I never think I'm dreaming until the worst part of a nightmare and then I wake up immediately.
I just want to kick myself because if I just stand up to my fears instead of running away, I could have some pretty neat experiences. But instead of having a lucid dream, I merely force myself awake.

i saw doctor who and was shopping with sg1 last night... i was like "how did you miss that?!"

I was some magical servant thing. My recurring DC broke in and tried to get me lucid.

"But you're dreaming!"

"...No I am not. Now begone."

Someone taught me how to fly. I were thinking to myself that I would use that method in a lucid dream.

I was in high school gym class. It's been 15 years since I graduated from high school.

Also, my male gym teacher was hanging out with us in the girls locker room and showing us his remote control car. He was never that cool in reality.

Last night in a dream I realized the place I was in was one of my dreamsigns (a house I don't live in anymore). In my mind I said to myself "of course this time it's real, but I'd better stick to my rules and do a reality check".

Something distracted me and I ended up not doing it.

A few nights before, I observed in a dream a group of people get together to carry out an RC and discuss lucid dreaming. Missed that entirely.

I have yet to have my first lucid dream and it's been about a month, but I'm confident as this is evidence I'm making progress!

I've been having the worst false awakenings recently, and they're especially weird in lucid dreams. For instance, last night I was walking around my house lucidly, and I suddenly "woke up." I think I was just lying on the floor (which makes no sense because I've never fallen off my bed in my entire life) and I freaked out and in-dream DEILDed. Then, BAM, I'm magically lucid again. But I never manage to realize that I never left the dream, even when going lucid again afterwards. Even though it's not that much of a hindrance, I get more and more angry at myself every time it happens. And it happens a LOT. Like two times per lucid dream.

Every morning when I wake up I write an 'X' on my hand (Reality check). X = No dream.
Okay so I was at school and it was this special day. We were gonna do activities and that sort of stuff. We were sitting in a classroom waiting for instructions. There was this guy who said, before you can start doing these activities you must write an 'X' on your hand. He came to check on me and he said, you don't have an 'X' on your hand. I was like haha yeah right, So I looked at my hands, And realised I really didn't have an 'X' on my hand. So I told that guy: "Alright I'll write an 'X' now" which I did.
When I woke up I was quite mad lol xD

^^I've made a similar mistake. I noticed that there were a lot of weird quarters showing up in my dreams ("Oh, this must be the new Disney Princess series of quarters from the U.S. Mint!") so I decided to use it as a personal dream sign. I even kept a quarter on my nightstand so I could check it when I woke up, in case I was having a false awakening.

The first night I tried it, I dreamed that I was at the aquarium and found a quarter on the ground. "But this is no good. I need 2 quarters to get one of those souvenir pressed pennies," I grumbled to myself. Then I tossed it aside without looking at it and moved on.
