Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

The world is ending and there's green aurora borealis in the sky and a rumbling earthquake. I say, "This is such a sad movie," and then I wake up. So in short, I assumed my dream was a movie instead of a dream.

I was talking to someone, and every time id turn and look back, there hair would be a different length...=[ i should have cought on lol

I just become lucid because a dog does a front flip

but then I immediately have a false awakening. I start debating whether I'm still dreaming or awake, but it is so realistic- my room looks completely normal and I was even in the same position in bed that I fell asleep in.

The only thing different was that I could see holographic.

I can't believe I didn't catch that!!!!!

This was quite a while ago, but it's still my best example.

I had a dream where I was at my house and there were a bunch of strangers there. I didn't think that was strange because i knew we were having some sort of party. I then walk into my living room and this guy was in there and he told me that I should float across the room. I did exactly that, floated across the room and hit the wall so hard i bounced off as if the wall was rubber. I then landed back at the place i started from and said to the man "This is not a dream because I bounced off the wall."

Well... I was at this cool beach place with huge waves, and I went up these stairs and turned left in a walk way. At the end of it, in this grass bed, I found this glowing blue rock. It was very smooth and had stars in it. My friend was behind me and said it was a friendship rock. I can't believe I didn't RC : /

I run and my feet move off the ground and I'm gliding in the air. This happens a lot. The other day I finally became lucid after realizing, in the waking world that doesn't happen.

In a dream a girl I know in reality came up to me said to me, "Relax... It's just a dream" and I didn't listen. It was during the EPIC DREAM (the one in my signature).

This one happened to me last night actually... In waking life the night before I was at some get-together with drinks and grilling. The alpha males all decided they were gonna go to the bar and pick up girls. The rest of us were uncomfortable with this idea cause we are socially inept, so we ended up going home. That night I remember thinking to myself many times over, "Why do I suck so much? When am I gonna stop being a loser?" So when it was time for sleep, I practiced MILD and had a dream where I was aparently socially outgoing. I was hanging out with some friends in an extremely wealthy neighborhood near a city, crashing random parties in every house. I remember having a great time, meeting awesome women that were actually into me. At the one party I remember flirting with a goth type chick and told her I liked her tongue ring. For some reason I reached out and touched the ring and she started sucking on my finger, which turned me on. Anyways.. after that party I remember chilling on the corner of a blvd. in the fancy neighborhood with a friend, drinking a beer. As we were talking, I remember the strange realization come over me that I didn't know where I was or how I got there. I asked my friend and he told me simply, "Man... you're in the 'hood. That's where you are." So instead of using my suspicions to become lucid, the dream continued and I woke up shortly later.

first of all, its not uncommon for me to have dreams where I look completely different. In fact, its more uncommon for me to notice that it is unusual to suddenly have a completely different appearance. Usually my difference in appearance is racial. I'm almost entirely sure that its because I'm darker, in a way where people can tell I'm not fully white, but not in a way where they can tell what I am, so I commonly have people making various guesses about my nationality. You name it and someone has guessed it: Asian, black, pacific islander, latina, egyptian, native american, indian, etc, etc.

Anyway, last night in a dream I looked down at my arm to notice that I was black. I thought to myself that it was strange, and asked the guy I was talking to about it. He smirked at me and said jokingly that it was because I was hanging out with so many black people (a reference to a retort I commonly make when people say that being accepting of gays makes more people gay, to which I commonly reply. "You're right. If I hang out with black people, I turn black. And if I hang out with tall people, I get taller. its totally not possibly to retain your individuality while being friends with someone else."). I rolled my eyes and went on with the dream.

And as if that isn't a stupid enough way to miss becoming lucid, I missed it AGAIN!

I was talking to him, and felt a strange connection like one I don't normally feel with people. I knew him on a deeper level, but I couldn't figure out how, so I asked him. He looked at me with that same smirk and said, "You really don't know?"

I went on to tell him that I knew that I knew him, but I didn't know his name or recognize his face, so I suspected he wasn't someone I knew in waking reality. GAH! I knew that I was dreaming, but wasn't paying enough attention to that to realize I could become lucid. xPPPPPP

I was breathing underwater for a while, and when I came up I just said, "Well, that's interesting." I then fell off a bride, found various celebrities standing around my house, and watched someone fly around. Didn't even consider a RC.

Onetime I was discusing with my friends about how I was dreaming.. when I realized I was dreaming, I turned and something caught my attention.

epic fail

This morning I was in SP and about to enter a LD. But i thought my dad walked into the room so I woke myself up =/

This large guy threw scissors and sliced my leg. He was trying to find a gun to shoot me because I stole food from his BBQ. He's trying to find a gun, i'm trying to wake myself up, then I thought, "No, don't wake up, try to have a lucid dream." But I was too scared.

whats WILD

Well I remember blacking out while saying I'm dreaming and I didn't even increase my clarity which I should of .

This is a nice thread. Ive had this happen a million times. Once I was at the gym getting ready to do squats and my friend that moved away years ago kept sliding pizza under my feet and I would go apeshit and flip out on him and the process would keep playing over and over again but i never caught on lol.

About 5 months ago before I knew what LD was I had a dream I had wings and was flying around my school o.0
I should have realized without a RC...

Last night I dreamt I was frantically trying to reach my mother on her cellular phone. I attempting to use my cellular phone to do this. As I was punching in the numbers, the numbers would show up incorrectly on the screen. I grew very...very...frustrated while doing this and I was (needless to say) beyond pissed.

YES. That is the most frustrating thing ever. I had a dream where my apartment was being robbed, and I was trying so hard to dial 911, but the numbers weren't showing up.

I tryed to get an LD for the first time last night. I used WBTB and I was dreaming that a girl crashed a mario kart (like a real one) into the car next to me o.0. I was surprised and forgot to do an RC but I'm a newb :p

funny thread. I had a dream once that I was writing a dream journal.....and then I woke up and said what tha hell, man!?!

I once had a false awakening, and honestly asked myself if I was dreaming. My mom was in the room, so I asked her, she said no . So, I never became lucid.

Lately though, if I ask myself, well really, I don't ask myself anymore. If I get the thought, then I know that I am dreaming, because I never get that thought in RL (not that I don't ever RC). I just KNOW.
