Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

There was one time I was breathing underwater in a dream. I have no idea how I did not become lucid.
lol

I was dreaming and I can't remember what I was doing but I did a RC check and saw that I was dreaming, but the thing is, I couldn't care less apparently so the words were just registering as empty. Even though I repeatedly told myself "cool, this is a dream" I didn't actually realize what I was saying meant so I didn't have a LD

In my dream, I was trying to find a book called "What We're Thinking About When We're Dreaming"...

I almost did a spit-take all over my laptop when I read that.

I had a dream last night in which someone told me that I was dreaming, and my answer was 'Oh, yeah, fine'.

I visited Dream views in my high-school and didn't care to make a reality check so that was it, no lucidity.

PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE NAME OF YOUR DREAM CHARACTERS!!!

Last night I ask my DC what was his name. He stated, "My name is Brandon...Brandon Boss...and yours?" I thought to myself, "Boss? Who the hell do he think he is? What an arrogant asshole! He doesn't deserve to know my damn name!" Then I sashayed my fine ass away from him so he could see what he was going to miss by trying to get smart with me...I'll show him damn it!

WTF!!!!!

Hey can I post a repeated stupid way of being lucid and coming out of it? Going to do it anyways:

I heard on a forum and another place that if you open a window and jump out you can fly, well I have jumped out 5 windows so far and every time I fall out and upon hitting the ground (while very afraid it will hurt) I always continuing trough the ground and kind of hovering, then waking up. Even tough I know this will happen, I still continue to jump out windows, kind of wish I never heard of this way of ''flying''

Yeah it's much better to *fly* out the window or levitate first at least to get the anti-grav thing going .

A few nights ago, I dreamed I was in a dream analysis class at school, taught by my real-life physics teacher. The teacher gave the class an assignment. We had to choose a dream we had recently and write a paper explaining it's interpretation. I chose to write about a dream I had earlier that night.

Last night I went to take a photo of a group of friends but couldn't find my camera, so I held my hands up like I was holding a camera, moved my finger and said 'click'.

Last month, I was on a ship, and the staff were arriving by floating down out of the sky. I thought wtf? and went to have a closer look. I then saw that most of the staff were using hoverboards (!) to come down from a craft floating in the sky, and it was just the ones who couldn't ride them that were floating. So that was okay. All explained there!

I just asked a friend of mine if he ever tried to lucid dream.

After waiting for the buses to pass coming down the hill so we can cross the street, two locomotives come barreling down the hill, they don't make the turn and start plowing through houses. One come skidding towards us and I think I'll have to use my TK ability to stop it if it doesn't stop soon. Another goes flying over our heads and lands on the neighbor's house entirely crushing it. I think our house is safe but it's been blasted away by a tornado. Ho hum, just a normal day in the neighborhood, nothing strange here, move along...

One time a few days ago, I was dreaming about this huge show in front of my town's library facing the lake. I was sitting with my family, and went to go sit down, and my chair was turned backwards, and picked it up and it was weightless! I remember thinking, that's strange, why is this so light? I kept thinking something was strange, and I was so close to figuring out it was a dream, something in the back of my mind kept saying, something was wrong. I was SO close! First truly lucid dream, in my finger tips, gone!

DOUBLE dreamsign fail! I was on the deck of my parents house (MAJOR DS, almost every single night I have a dream where I'm at or around my parents' house, I now do daily MILD reps about 'next time I'm around my parent's house, I remember to recognize that I'm dreaming') *journaling a dream from earlier in the night (!!) into the voice recorder app of my phone* !!. Argh!!!!!!

Last night I remember, I was talking to old friends, and I remember thinking I needed to write down the old friends was one of my dream keys, in the dream!!!

Well I actually have a real one also. I was in sleep paralysis and since 90% of my LD's are from SP I got out of this in a very stupid way. I was aware that my sisters boyfriend was in the house visiting, and while I was in SP I thought I saw and heard him looking at me, as I don't even know how I look like in my SP I didn't want to seem weird to him so I woke myself up, and then he was gone (well he was never there). I always assume that my brain doesn't want me to be in SP and it finds new creative ways to get me out of it, as I gain more control of it, but maybe that's just my paranoia

"Wait a minute!! Is it a dream? The tattoo is there, it looks weird but it's because of the bad illumination of this unfamiliar passage... I better hurry up to finish this work... Where the f*ck did my kid go?... There you are! Hurry up, we're late!!!"

Dreamsign: I'm in a hurry.
Stupidity sign: I let myself go in a rush.

For example, I get vibrations all over my body, mainly face head and hands (like your tingles and rush perhaps, a little different for everybody).. the main thing at that point is to remain calm, and let those sensations do the work for you, for a few moments. I'll wait a few relaxed seconds, focusing on the sensations, and letting them devour my whole body without dissipating. Then I'll either "open my dream eyes", or try to imagine a scene unfold in front of my eyelids. In the latter version, it's almost like my eyelids become transparent, and I can see my room, and I can get up and start my LD, and I never lost awareness from awake to this lucid dream.

I'd like to direct you to a thread that talks in depth about all the different sensations that a dreamer experiences while going through all the various possible WILD phases: http://www.dreamviews.com/wake-initi...ntry-wild.html. WORTH THE READ.


Anyway, back on topic: I had the teeth-falling-out-dream AGAIN last night. For me it's never a tooth here and there, rather HUGE chunks. Like impossibly large clumps of teeth that are all connected, and couldn't possibly have ever fit in my mouth. I have several dreams like this every year and I should really be getting over this by now :/

Yeah - it was exactly so on my first WILD try - vibrations from my head and hands spreading out everywhere, and then I saw something not on the back of my eyelids, but like a meter behind them - theoretically hovering in my completely dark seeming room - an electric blue mandala - but I thought, it was too early to do something...

Next time I try to shake or rock out of my body or open my dream eyes or something..

But the next two tries got me nowhere in the sense of HI/HH - and so I again thought, it would be too early and maybe it also was not.
The last highly probably went wrong also for - at least partly - the reason, that I thought a bit of Melatonin would be a good idea, being quite awake.
Now I know, it leads to NREM...

On top of that - I had my last dream reappear but kept thinking about it - like analysing it and changing little things from a perspective like an author editing - should have been an exit, too.
It was sort of a false staying awake - I thought I was awake all that time - but later I woke up from it!

Do you recommend to go ahead and try to do something with the dream-body then - and not be afraid to bust it by doing so?

I hope it might even help reading and posting in it - even while I have posted about all these things before somewhere else!?

I have tons of dreamsigns appearing in almost all my dreams - and not alerting me - and tons of bizarre and absurd stuff happening too in my non-lucids.
Seems when I do get lucid - like only twice lately - it does not come from such things.
It just comes out of myself..

So last night in my dream I was entering a concert and I just started dancing with this girl, normally I am really shy so I thought to myself this can't be real I must he dreaming. I continued think that "hey I should become lucid, naw ill do it later" then just went along dancing. That would have been my first lucid! Darn! :\

My foot was stuck in an elevator and as the door closed on my foot, I tried to pry it out but I couldn't. The elevator started going up and that's when my foot just 'popped off.' I though to myself, "Good...I'm glad that my foot is gone...now that I'm out of that jam I can get back to doing whatever I was doing!

I missed like 5 major signs all in one dream:
+ I was in my old house where I don't live any more
+ with my family as of about 12 years ago (children small)
+ played with my dog who died 5 years ago
+ I cried in the dream because I knew he was dead
+ When I petted him he purred like a cat, and I "remembered" that he could do that (he couldn't not of course)

I stepped outside and it was raining wolves...yes, I said it was raining wolves. And, not just any wolves, but mama wolves carrying their baby wolves underneath them like kangaroos carry their babies. I thought to myself, "I better get back inside, I don't want to get wolves on me."
