Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

Once I was being chased by a World of Warcraft like monster/demon thing. I shouted out: "I wish I was dreaming right now!"

I'm brand new to this and have never had a lucid dream, but last night I was dreaming that I was telling a friend how I found this thing called lucid dreaming and was trying it. I spent a few minutes telling him about it, and not at all did I think to RC or anything. I woke up pretty much as the conversation ended, thought about the dream for a few seconds, then realised what just happened.

I once had a dream where a DC ran up to me and screamed "YOU.ARE.DREAMING!!" right in my face...and I still didn't get lucid!

Some weeks ago I was running to do something I don't remember, when the thought that it was a dream came to my mind, then I wanted to finish whatever I was going to do in order to start the Lucid Dream after that... normal dream went on...

How does that even works.

This.... this thread hurts to read. >_<

Herding people into a huge tornado shelter. A lot of them are screaming and running around the shelter.

I yell at them "STOP PANIC EVERYONE EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE FINE. NOW PLEASE BE PATIENT AND STOP LOSING YOUR MINDS!!!"


*total silence*

"Wow, I always wanted to say that, someday it'll get me lucid in a dream. Carry on."

*lights go out, panic ensues*

I'm sorry, I just had to post this...

Dat feeling when a digital clock reads 'L0:-02' and i yell to my mother that the clock was broken.

I had this long interesting conversation whit my family about lucid dreaming, never hit me though that i was actually in a dream whilst doing it... So now every time i talk about LC i do a RC!

I was on a crazy airship and my teacher was teaching about FILD and when she found out I use it to lucid dream she got mad. LOL

One of the TOTMs this month is to get naked in public and witness the reactions. So Last night I had a nonlucid where I was showering with 2 other people in front of a classroom full of people. I was really uncomfortable, but it never dawned on me to even check if I was dreaming or not.

I had one where i was in medieval scottish times playing chess with a queen, I used to be good at chess and she was winning, i lost but my scores are higher than hers, - and oddly enough the score and timer was digital, on medieval times,

there was one where i was saving a bank from people robbing it and i was the one who was arrested, and the robbers walked out,

i was in a movie theater when i walked inside it into chernobyl, then i met a damsel who walked into the middle of the reactor and i followed, it appeared in scotland,

i was flying using a kite like leonardo davinci while my paralyzed father rode a bike taking me in the middle of manhattan at night while flying up and down with big precision,

i met a princess' mother and a giant cobra behind a waterfall

i met capten hook as a kid who told me how he fell in love with wendy and peter took her (ok....?)

i rode a motorcycle and jumped 12 miles,

met the beatles in a sinking ship

I was walking through the flooded african safari holding my laptop while being submerged to my head with my computer underwater and it was still working.

Didn't dawn on me that computers aren't waterproof.

Once, I was dreaming about me walking in the middle of a REALLY foggy street with three classmates. We knew we shouldn't be there, but we were all like "okay, we can do this as long as we're together!" until I said "but what if one of us is dreaming? Then it won't be real for the dreamer, but it will be real the rest of us... it's not fair!" Then we decided that if anyone was dreaming, they should wake up immediately, and two of them simply disappeared. I looked to the only girl left and we were all like "CAN YOU BELIEVE THOSE BITCHES!? THEY WERE DREAMING THIS WHOLE TIME!!!" and we laughed a little... until I woke up.

However, I had no idea what LDs were back then, so I probably would've done nothing about it anyway.

Well, I had a couple of those lately.

One time I was in an sports car with a nice blonde girl, driving on the highway. I realized it was a dream because I was feeling like I was going to wake up. I fought to try staying focused, but I couldn't because my brother was in my room playing the guitar. The funny things is that I don't even live with my brother. I "woke up" and shouted at him for ruining my lucid dream. Even my bed wasn't at the correct position, but there I was, dreaming about having a lucid dream. When I really woke up I realized how stupid we can be sometimes...

Also, I've had several fake awakenings these last days while trying some LD techniques, and those are really frustrating too, specially when you don't remember to do a RC. This week I was trying WILD, I just woke up, stood up to have some water, then went back to bed to try again, and suddenly I woke up. Really frustratin to know you was already there.

I also seem to have some dreams that repeat from time to time, and everytime it happens I tell myself that next time I will be able to recognize it, but I can't, even if they are really weird. One is related to a turtle I once had, that died some years ago. In my dreams I always find it forgotten in some wardrobe, starving, or about to fall from the balcony, or it disolves in my hand like ice when I put it under the tap to clean it... every dream is different. I guess it's just my mind torturing me possibly for not taking car of it as I should have, but every time it happens (once every few months) I wake up with this bad feeling, and feeling stupid for not realizing it's a dream.

I had this one a few weeks ago. So there was this gang or something and I got caught in the middle of it. Some people got killed but im a slick so i get out somehow (felt like it lasted 10-15 min). I then go back home all injured and think to myself. - ''Wait a second.. this could be a dream..'' I try flying and it doesn't work. Then I magically teleport home and think to myself how silly I was for thinking it was a dream and went on doing some boring shit..
O_o

Last night; Not relising i'm swimming, at the beach, with two pikachu toys, and, pokemon being a MAJOR dream sign of mine....U_U; At least not getting a hint that, maybe, this is a dream and I shoulda rced?

roflmao.. xD''


Also, pretty much, anytime I dream of these old friends of mine now and never rc over it i guess counts.

recently, I dreamt that I was recalling dreams and recording them in my journal. In the dream, my pencil was was broken and I had to sharpen it before I could write anything. When I woke up and picked up my journal, I realized my pencil was sharp and I knew it was sharp from the night before. I instantly recalled having the dream about recalling my dreams of the night, and in turn, I recalled all of the dreams that I could remember in my dream about recalling. I had detailed recollections of 5 dreams that night, (currently my record high!), but I had to slap myself for not becoming lucid during the dream where I was writing in my DJ!!!! I guess this is what you call a false awakening!

Haha, after my last entry i had another dream, where i was playing minecraft with a friend and a creeper exploded behind me, i RCed, and it worked, and i thought "OMG im dreaming... well, i'll become lucid later" and another one where i thought "WTF? What's that? I must be drea- oh look at that penguin!"

Not sure if this quite counts, because I DID become lucid, just... incorrectly.
But anyways, just the other night, I went to sleep with the mantra, "I am lucid dreaming." I guess this made me be acutely aware of dreams, and aggressively hellbent on becoming lucid during them, or something along those lines, because when I started dreaming, I could kind of sense the dream forming and was aware of the fact that "I'm about to be dreaming."
But, I didn't manage to stay cool and collected enough to just let myself stay vaugely conscious while waiting until I've let myself become immersed in the dream, then becoming lucid...
Oh no. I was way too excited, (Especially because I came SO. CLOSE. To getting my first lucid dream the night before) and instead of thinking, "Ok, so now I can just enter the dream with the knowledge that it's a dream," I was kinda more like, "HOLY CRAY-OP ITSA DREAM GETITGETITGETITGETITTTT" And promptly woke myself up from doing forcing consciousness on myself. I did that 3 times. Once I was lucky enough to just get a FA, but I promptly ruined that as well from doing too aggressive of a reality check (particularly when I practically smacked myself in the face to pinch my nose shut) for no reason in particular. I felt soooooo stupid when I woke up.
I also imagine my first lucid dream starting off with me excitedly shouting, "Yes! I'm conscious!" or something and then a random DC appearing and saying something like, "Wouldn't that mean that you're awake?" And then me waking up. =p

Last night I had a dream that I was being chased by a massive mech, probably over 100 feet tall. I was running from it, but I already knew I wasn't going to escape. For a moment I thought to myself, "Hmm. I wonder if I'm dreaming right now." But just as I was going to look at my hands, I put them back down. I was apparently so scared that I thought, "You know, I don't even want to know if this is a dream."

C'mon, me! And then of course I escaped the mech by jumping on a flying waterslide.

Last night I was showing a friend of mine some music I collected from my dreams (some of them lucids). I was playing them on an audio cassette in a very old stereo recorder which I permanently damaged long ago trying to fix it, when I realized that those tracks didn't sound like I recorded them on my PC, then I told him: "You know, they sound much better in my dreams..."

last night i had a dream i was filling out a form, than i looked at the writing and realised it was all skewed and didnt make any sense at all, but i didnt think to do a reality check

and my dad had a dream that something weird happened, so he lifted his hands to do a reality check but didn't actually look at them.
