Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

I was jumping(huge jumps) around on floating islands and trees were growing and growing, trying to root me, my body was vibrating in colors, like when Mario picks up a shroom or flower. I was very skeptical about this and said in the dream, that I must be dreaming because this is not real. I didn't care and my dream went back to auto-pilot. I was so angry because I do RC every hour and question that "is this real?" and "how did I get here".

Being careless fail.

In my dream last night I found Steve Carrell... he took me outside and told me when this guy on a tractor was going to die.
Yeah, like that's normal.

I had a dream a couple years ago when I was in Orgrimmar (from World of Warcraft) with a couple friends. My German teacher came up to me and said "hold your nose". I completely missed that.

first post!

did some research on "tension tamer tea" in real life, in my dream my brother had it, i remember the box perfectly, and i freaked out and told him that I've been trying to get it to lucid dream- and then his eyes got really wide, and his mouth hung open in shock, like he was trying to say something- like EXTREME excitement.... but i got none of it. hahah. maybe my dream brother is hinting at me.

Oh boy, here's another good one. The other night, I was dreaming about riding a bicycle. I decided I wanted to go for a bike ride in Crackley Wood (about 5 miles from where I live). I picked up a map, imagined myself there, and in a second I'd teleported myself to the gate at the entrance to the woods. For the entirity of the dream I was completely non-lucid.

Fuuuuuuuuuck.

hey ive just started researching all this (partly cuz inceptions freakin awesome) and i have a question for any pros. when u go lucid, how much like real life does it feel? is it like walking around during the day or does it feel just like a regular dream? is it as difficult to picture the dream in your head afterward? pleez reply lol cuz if its really vivid im putting all the effort in i can!

Well I haven't read the other comments but one of my dreams I was talking to my best friend telling him all about lucid dreaming and how I wanted to have one when I woke up I literally laughed out loud. I think that's pretty hard to top.

It can vary, but lucid dreams are typically far more vivid than regular dreams, as far as I can gather.

Make a topic in the newbie forum if you've got a lot of questions

I can't really describe a lucid dream. You can look around, feel things... it does feel real, but there's something about it that's... just different.

Lol this one was a stupid one, but whatever I was dreaming I went to jail for a reason I can't remember, all the walls were white and padded... Might have been an insane asylum , But I remember someone saying jail. Anyway I was in there and I closed my eyes, and I was outside. I remember thinking cool, then my dream changed. Which should have been another clue.

I am running away form someone when I stop and turn around to see them standing there.
Me: I'm dreaming and no longer afraid of you so just go away.
DC: No you're not
Me: Yes I am, here I'll prove it will a simple nose plug RC. I pinch my nose fully and can still breath.
Me: Dammit you're right I can still breath through my plugged nose.
DC: See I told you you were not dreaming now run, I like to chase you.
Me: Oh alright. (in a defeated tone)
I start to run again and hear the DC laugh an evil laugh as he begins to chase me.

I wake up shortly after this and smack my forehead for not realizing me still breathing meant I was dreaming and the RC was positive LOL. I have had more then one dream like this as I use this RC often in RL and in dreams.

I was on Dream Views, reading a thread by Mzzkc. The thread was about stupid ways people miss becoming lucid. I was reading his post, and I laughed. I then proceeded to say "He should do reality checks more often, like me." I woke up after reading five pages of the thread.

Last night my grandfather drove us off a cliff in a car. The whole time I was just like, "WHEEEE!'"

I was sitting at the big dinner table at home, with lots of relatives and friends. There was this extremely hot chick sitting next to me, never seen her before in real life, but it was like I knew her from somewhere. Anyways, I'm enjoying my dinner and suddenly this chick turns to me, rams her tongue in my mouth and grabs my dick She's really going at it, and we stop, and dinner resumes... One other funny thing was, for a few seconds it was like I was seeing through a camera in the back of my throat, so I could see her tongue going crazy in my mouth for a few seconds, then it went back to first person.

HOW COULD I HAVE MISSED THAT?

I went to my uncles lucid dreaming camp to learn LDs. The whole plotline was centered around it. When I got insurance at a place the woman asked me why I needed it.
I answer: In case I break a dream leg! Ha ha!

I swear I almost killed someone.

Just last night, I ended up with two girls in my bed (No sex, unfortunately.) and my mom came into my room, and caught me with the two girls in my bed. She, in her typical mom-style, demanded to know what was going on here. I explained to her that I had been in a dream state, and that these girls were left over from that dream. I told her that I was pretty sure I still was in a dream state, too.

Of course, I didn't go lucid. Even when I myself admitted I was probably in a dream.

I dreamt I was watching Inception and didn't think to RC

This morning, I was thinking about incubating a MILD during a dream.

Also last night, I was talking to one of my teachers about watching Breaking Bad WHILE I WAS HELPING WALTER AND JESSE OUT WITH THEIR COOKING.

FFS, my dream-self is retarded.

2 nights in a row, now, I've been right on the verge of becoming lucid, but been too distracted by what I was doing in the dream. God damn.

Yesterday I missed an oppurnity:

i was on a funeral of someone I didn't know at all and in the middle of the ceremony, our schooldirector came in, danced, jumped, was listening to an i-pod and sang the chorusline of "Can't stop feeling" (a song of Franz Ferdinand) which goes : "And you can't feel anymore" *sarcasm*. And it seemed to me normal

People from my work are usually always in my dreams...I always perform reality checks while I'm around them in real life, but never tend to do it in a dream =(

I remembered two dreams from last night. One involved a realistic scenario which somehow (I'm still not sure how) prompted me to do a reality check and become lucid, before becoming too excited and waking up.

My next dream involved professional basketball players playing skeeball with pretzels in a fancy stadium.
A reality check never occurred to me.

I hate it I become lucid in the most realistic dreams sometimes but in a dream that I was patching holes in a boat with song lyrics the thought never occured to me that it could have been a dream. I moved my hand over a hole and just heard music that wasnt really even there I just felt like I was hearing music and the holes werent there when my hand passed over them........

Yesterday I went and kissed a friend of mine on the cheek while she was filling a beer glass, a friend I had just helped out and made sure she kept her job at Merlot's from true blood. While I did this I was picking up my dream journal to write about a dream, never bothered to reality check
