Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

I had a dream last night I was standing by the pond looking at the fish. One fish was wearing a sweater. There was also alot of snakes.

My complete failures:
-----
I was in cape cod at a house, basement filling with lava 'cause dog was peeing it (Don't have a dog.) Trees around house (There are none) look like a 2d painting with black background, I walk into one and I giant sphinx comes out and tickles me... Went on for another 5 min and never went lucid.
-----
An old lady spanked me with a baseball bat and I went flying, when I landed she came up and said, "You know your dreaming right?"
-----
30 foot spider attacking town, no lucid! LoL
-----
I hadn't researched lucid dreaming by the time I had these dreams, but I'd still had low lucid dreams (Mainly helping me escape nightmares)

Last night in my dream i was walking home and thought it would be a good idea to practice flying so that when i have a lucid dream i would be better at it, i flew for about a mile before landing in a neighbours garden next to my house.
I then woke up feeling rather annoyed.
How could i miss that one.

A couple nights ago, these kids were learning how to survive, and I was like, "Hmm maybe I should become lucid and try to help them... Nahhhh" And I continued on

Last night, I had a dream about my deceased pet fish. In my dream, my fish appeared and kept getting out of its tank and was swimming in the air. In my dream, the fact that my dead fish was now alive and that it could fly didn't make me lucid. Also, while I was in the dream, I put a leash on my fish and tried to get it back in the tank. This made me really upset when I woke up, a perfectly good chance to become lucid, just wasted

I was flying in a spaceship towards another planet and we crashland, so i kill 3 people..or aliens? with a revolver...and start talking to the inhabitants of the planet, which looks like the moon, and they look human. I even knew some of them from earth..i did a RC and it failed...i was like wtf when i woke up.

Just last night: i went some some weird mall with two of my friends whom both transformed into sugar gliders in front of me, and hid in my shirt. (so they wouldnt get lost in the crowd(?!) one of those friends was a guy. somehow it didnt bother me in the slightest. and i didnt become lucid then later in the dream i go into a bathroom and i dont know i got this feeling of it being "unfinished" and then i see there's scribble's on the wall (or the walls are made of scribble's or some weird shit) and im like "This seems like a dream!" no lucid i didnt even attempt a reality check. but more than that my friends shapeshifting into tiny furry rats didnt seem abnormal to me but damn i see some scribbles and OMG its a dream!

i'm walking down some path with my friend, and he says: "Can you teach me how to lucid dream?" I say: "Sure, sure. I'll teach you as soon as i can." My friend looks at me for a moment and says: "But aren't you dreaming right now?" I do a nose-pinch RC and say: "No. I could breathe right there, so that means i'm not dreaming." My friend accepts this and we continue our walk.

curse my dream stupidity!
btw: my friends shapeshifting into tiny furry rats didnt seem abnormal to me but damn i see some scribbles and OMG its a dream! -skydreamer, that is so funny-

I was in a jungle with wicked bad gnats and flying, talking strands of spaghetti. At least I've found my one true religion.

Most of these crazy events sound like my normal dreams (except the part about talking about LDs, that's not happening yet) i frequently change characters and undergo these really insane quests (anything from finding a floating puzzle symbol in a church to going to Alaska underwater). Half the time I'm not even myself!

I don't really know how I can do a RC when I'm following someone that I know is not me. If anyone has any tips on this, that would be great

Haha good o' Pastafarianism.

This morning I could just kick myself ......so I'm in the dining room and I hear my ringtone to my phone. I walk into the kitchen and it is MY DOG singing my ringtone....I said, "Wow, thats weird." Then went on my way....haha

For those who have heard of Gmod know what im talking about.
First i was dreaming that i was playing on Gmod on my computer, but i hadnt realised i was dreaming yet. It was fairly late at night(or so i dreamt) and i was working on this big vending machine for barrels. I decided i was thirsty and had to keep awake so i was just about to get a coffee when i noticed a freshly made one already one my desk. Then i started to think that i was dreaming so i did an "RC" by trying to spawn a biscuit because i wanted one with my coffee. So the biscuit appeared.
I then became lucid and floated into my computer and was physically in the Gmod world, so i had a bit of fun. I got a bit carried away and lost lucidity and suddenly this bleeping noise came on and all i saw was a bluescreen error. I woke up and started kicking myself for not keeping control.

Being in a school enviroment. My dream journal consists of about 50% school related dreams and yet I still don't pick it up.

I go outside to see my two dogs rolling around on the ground, I shut the door and go back in, then I go back out, and my one dog is a giant ugly dog(they are both pugs, so this is odd...)

How could I possibly think that is real?

my alarm clock went off irl and in my dream there was an ambient alarm clock noise and everyone was talking about alarm clocks and waking up

I dreamed that fat 3-year-old ninjas wanted to take over DreamViews.

*shakes his head hopelessly*

I generally sort of know that I am dreaming in my dreams, but it is not a lucid kind of knowledge - It is bad because it stops me doing RC's as I already 'know' I am dreaming. Here are a couple - all the way through the dreams I am sort of aware I am dreaming...

I was having this dream, but to edit most of it out... I had been reminded of illnesses/bugs, and I notice there is lots of snot that has been coming out of my nose and I think that is what you get for thinking about bugs in a dream - but I am not lucid.
Another time I told this really funny joke and I thought 'I must remember this when I wake up' and carried on dreaming.. DOH!

I have one that takes the cake.

In my dream, my cousin and I are walking on the street and I ask him what he is doing here, he should be halfway around the world right now for a month. He tells me that he's back in town for a week, and heading back the following week. What I say next is word for word.

Me: "huh? That's so weird... I know this feels and looks exactly like real life but I have a serious feeling it's a dream!"

Cousin: "Ahuh...sure"

Me:"I really think this is a dream, I'm going to do a couple Reality Che....*WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP*

Just as I'm trying to tell myself to do a reality check, a family member decides now is the perfect time for me to wake up.

She still doesn't quite understand how a person can be so angry at being awoken..

About 4 days ago I had a dream where where almost every single sentence (that I remember) generally had the word "Lucid" or "Lucid dream" in it.

a few nights ago, I was in a dream where the headphones from my cd player turned into a tiny creature that looked like the queen from the movie Aliens, but only about 8 inches tall, and started chasing me.

A few nights ago, I was dreaming about walking outside my house at night, and looking around I was like "Hmm... Am I dreaming? Nah, it's too realistic."

I was in my bed, and I realized that I was awake. So I decided to DIELD. When I relaxed I felt as if I was tipping over to one side, even though I could feel the bed against my back. Suddenly I tipped out of bed and roceted into the wall next to it. The world looked really hazy, kinda like in LOTR when Frodo puts on the ring. My limbs felt all strange, so I figured I'd rolled out of bed while still being in SP. I did the pinch-nose RC, but since I expected to be awake it failed. After that I went on with a non lucid dream.
-.-

I was in my backyard. then this aboriginal walked up to me and said "this is a lucid dream brah" or something along the lines of that, Then he ran off.
