Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

I was in a band with a few friends, And I was playing the guitar (Which I can't play in real life) , Not too good albeit. And the crowd was booing us. I ran up to the room where the rest of the band was playing and passed the guitar to a friend. He put down his Guitar Hero controller, and started playing on the real one. I begged Jimi Hendrix to sing for us, who was sitting next to my guitar playing friend (In a sort of voting panel thing). And he started to sing, And I started looking for a piano. I couldn't find one, so I made do with a pool table and started pressing around the sides. It wasn't too good with making music, but it made some good notes.

I still don't get the Guitar Hero thing though.

Jansch: I knew i hadn't really woken up because of two reasons:
1. I never fall asleep in a few minutes (let alone seconds), even if i've slept poorly the night before.
2. In the morning I woke up exactly as i had woken up in the dream and my surroundings and bed felt different, more real, more concrete. I don't know if that makes any sense to anyone, but i knew the difference the moment i had woken up. (My dreams have never felt 100% real:(, i've always been able to distinguish between my memories of dreams and actual awakenings in the morning.)

in my first dream in the period i am trying to learn lucid i was walking in the backyard of an old classmate of me. and since it was my first day trying to learn lucid dreaming i dreamt me saying: wow i must be dreaming!!! But didnt do anything was just dreaming further without lucidity:( stupid isn,t it?

i was so close!!

I got out of my bed in my dream, pinched my nose shut and could still breathe, so I thought to my self, I must be dreaming, though I still wasn't aware enough to be considered lucid.

I got out of the room and walked downstairs and into the kitchen. I looked around, and everything that was normally in my kitchen was out of order. The sink was in the wrong corner, the refrigerator was upside down, and the oven was hanging from the ceiling.

I then thought to myself, Wow, this looks exactly like my kitchen, I'm not dreaming at all! So I walked back upstairs and got back into bed, later waking up in great disappointment. :sad2:

i was listening to one of those lucid dream induction mp3's and in the dream me and a friend were listening to it trying to lucid dream..just played out like a normal dream..

also had a dream where a friend kept pinching me trying to tell me i was dreaming...spewing

Well after having another dream about Scrubs and playing some weird basket-ball with JD and some guys. I again didnt become Lucid (-_-)

I was at a shopping centre, and this cop had me as a prisoner. I ran out, and after gassing some people I escaped, and I was then in my nanna's yard. I went into her house and she greeted me. I said "This is a boring dream" and she was like "What are you talking about?" and I thought "Oh, I must've woken up". Huh?? :?

I was having a drink in a bar above some cliffs in Santa Cruz with some friends. I turn to my girlfriend and say "Man, this place seems so familiar, I feel like I designed this or something. I think I'm having deja-vu or something weird"

My girlfriend looks around and says, "Your right, this is way to close to the stuff you design. I remember you telling me about a place like this in one of your dreams"

And I reply, "You're right, I've definitely had a dream about this place"

IDIOT!

Last night I FA'd in my bed and started filling in my DJ, totally ignoring the fact that this girl from scholl and some other woman were alo in my room, having a chat.
Then I woke up...

lol mine was once when i had jump liek from a roof then i realiced i became lucid i aperd some one and became so exitet so i wake up

I was explaining to a friend how to become lucid, and was talking about looking to see if you have extra fingers on your hand. I was saying that if you see only 5 fingers you can sometimes summon a 6th if you still think you are dreaming. As I did this, I grew a 6th finger and then looked to my friend and said "yeah, just like that!" without becoming lucid

Well, I haven't had much success with lucid dreams :P, but there was one time where it could have worked, but it didn't :(.

Me and a bunch of other people were escaping from a mall for some reason. However, I had to drive because the other person was drunk, but only the person on the right could drive, which wasn't me. However, in my dream I managed to explain it with some really twisted logic, like its only when you're looking from the FRONT of the car! xD

Tonight, some DCs were talking about how they became lucid and the best ways not to become lucid. I wondered if I was dreaming but I only gave them one example... They looked at me as if I were crazy. I didn't think about it being a dream much more.

I dreamed I was trying to herd a bunch of cats out of my house but they just kept coming. I thought to myself..."this can't be real". I went over to my stove to read the name of it to see if I was dreaming but couldn't read the name of it. I told myself maybe the light was hitting the reflective surface wrong so I couldn't see it!

Was getting stabbed by a knife, grabed the bladed with my hand, and the knife was quickly withdrawn without cutting my hand. Stupid me thought "wow, that was close!"

This morning, after a failed WILD, I dreamt that I was a marble racing on a colourful racetrack. Yes, a marble. Interesting experience though.

*edit* wow, i just remember that I did a reamity check a few nights ago, I read a sign a few times and the tekst changed. I though "cool, this must me a dream" and just continued what I was doing...

Last night I was in a dream trying to choose which one of the 20ish cars parked in my lawn that I wanted to drive. Fairly obvious... The dream after that I was under a overpass with two friends and we found a plant that when eaten gives your hands shapeshifting powers... one of those 'wtf' moments.

When I first started getting into lucid dreaming I would tell a lot of people about it and how cool it was.

I had a dream one of those nights where I was explaining to my Mom how hard it was to lucid dream, and she just had to believe in it to do it. I then performed a reality test and showed her that this was not a dream right now (even though it was...).

That was so funny!

I realized I was dreaming while I was dreaming about Prison Break; however, the story was so exciting that I chose to keep "watching" it instead of doing lucid stuff, and I became unlucid.

The ending was disappointing anyway. I should have done something more interesting.

(I registered seconds ago, just for to post this, but I've been lurking on DV for months)

Looking at an old, brown decaying signpost that read: Dreaming, NOW! I just read it and through- Funny! I wonder who put that there!

Booted myself when i woke up.

A few nights ago I had this dream where I was traveling around with this caravan of LDers, and we were practicing our wandlore so we could turn on TVs telekinekely. :? I remember thinking the whole time, "Dang! I wish I was dreaming..."

It feels horrible for me when I lose my chance to have a lucid dream! It happened to me last night (again).

This time I actually tried to WILD in my dream. I feel so stupid.

mine was a couple of weeks ago now, I was standing on the side of the road with my car upside down and only half a cell phone (the front half and no battery) and emergency services was on the other end and they told me to get off the line for a real emergency, and i immediately made another call and my friend asked me why I wasn't dead.

That SHOULD have been a clue.... but I just used the cell phone anyway... lol

I once had a dream where I got lost and thought "Oh my god I might never see my family aga- wait... this is a dream!" And then my dream ended. Darn, almost had a chance to lucid.

LOL, i recently had one where I went in to a store to buy a car charger, and I thought to myself " I HAVE a car charger, why would I want another one" i went in to the store anyway :P I realised i was dreaming AND WOKE UP!!! :?
