Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

I was watching a 2" cat in a hamster cage turning around in one of the tubes and thought, "hmmm, I wonder if that cat likes doing that or if he's uncomfortable". Seriously! I'm worried about what he's doing but have no problem at all that a cat is 2". W H A T???

Oh my gosh. You poor thing! It's so frustrating waking up from those dreams and realizing we could/should have gotten lucid. You are not alone.

Maybe it was a tiny newborn cat (they start out pretty small)?

Ahahaha. Too funny!

I saw reflection of myself on the wall like a mirror but light. It was slowed - if I move it moved few seconds later. I couldn't figure out why that's happening.

I was going to tell my friend a secret, but I didn't know if it was okay to tell him. I did an RC and found I was dreaming. Well, since I was dreaming, I figured it'd be okay to tell him the secret. Didn't accomplish anything else in the dream...

Ok.. i was in the middle of some unknown city and it was dark. Every 20seconds.. my image turned red for a second like a heartbeat.. du dup- , and i was getting stronger every time that happened. All the lightsources, were shining in a red light, when evil was near me. And then I saw, something like a werewolf. And the creature got scared and ran away from me.. and i said.. No you wont.. i ran after it.. grabbed my sword and decapitated the beast in a single blow.. And still i could not figure out.. that i was dreaming.

Non-lucid dream:
I met Stephen LaBerge at a convention. He was showing me a new LD induction technique using breathing and hypnosis. I had the opportunity to test the technique right then, as he claimed the transition to dreaming would be instant, but I was too self conscious in the company of all the people at the convention. I tried the technique half-heartedly and actually felt myself starting to enter a dream, but I decided I'd try it properly at home later.

Making progress with this "urge to fly" dream sign. Missing a bunch, but at least it's clearly on my mind.

Two nights ago: bad guys coming, I look out over a valley (being in any sort of high place with a view of the land below me usually gives me the thought of flying out over it), wish I could fly out over it to escape, and think in passing, "too bad I'm not dreaming!".

Last night: get the urge to fly, decide to test gravity, hop about 15 feet in the air, look down at the ground as I slowly drift back to the ground, giggle like a girl a little, and continue on with the dream (I think I start air-swimming soon thereafter).

I told a boy to put ointment all over his face like it was moisturizer. How did I not see how stupid that was?...

I had one the other night where I caught my arm on fire and it didn't hurt. I realized this was odd, questioned it....and then rationalized it by saying...."Oh, thats right...I just watched the Hunger Games."

Uhm...what? lol I'M DREAMING DUMMY. haha

Made me chuckle!

A couple of years ago I had a dream where I was sitting in the driver's seat of a parked car. A viking in a car drove by and hit another parked car. I decided to follow the viking to jot down his license plate. I looked at the license plate, looked down to write down the first letters/numbers on a piece of paper, looked up again and saw that the letters/numbers on the plate had changed. Happened a few times and I said to myself: must be because he's foreign.

Someone yelled out "Hey come look at the wild jellyfish migration!" So I looked around the corner (of the back of the garbage truck I was standing in?) into the waves and saw not jellyfish but large, winged (like flying squirrels) spotted seals jumping and flopping through the air diving forwards into the waves (shining brightly in the sun, it was beautiful). Then a giant bear came and crammed its mouth down on a seal, only its butt was left hanging out of the bear's mouth. "Awwww, poor seal" I said. I was then concerned about the bear coming in the truck.

Yup, nothing odd here!

A woman is behaving very strangely, frantic/wired/jumpy, when ordering at a walk-up counter, she's clearly not right, what's wrong with her, … then I wake up, and say "oh, that's why."

Just recently a dream character I was talking to about lucid dreaming said "well maybe this is a dream!" and I just laughed and continued my dream because I thought she was joking -___- not to mention I didn't even know this person, but we were friends apparently.

Thursday night. I'm on a FLYING BUS, did a reality check and it didn't work. WTF.

In one of my NDs I've met someone and his son. They were dressed like agents in Matrix (black clothes and sunglasses). Someone was about to enter the room and then they ran away, but were running on the ceiling. I said "Wow, that was cool!" without even realising, something's wrong... Maybe I thought it's real Matrix?

Once I was in my room looking out my window and the scenery that's usually out my back window was in my left window. A gang of elderly people on bicycles flooded my yard and started doing flips. I thought, "Wow! This is just like something that would happen in a dream! It's so funny that it's actually happening in real life!"

Last night I did a reality check by breathing through my closed nose. It failed so I proceeded to leave my house by climbing out of a hole in a window screen. Naked. Legs first.

tried ssild again after quite some time
I knew that it can often cause FAs so I thought I'll have to remember doing an RC when I wake up but whatever I always do that anyway
wasn't quite prepared enough it seems
I woke up repeatedly during the night without memories of dreams I could have had before waking up and thought that was strange but didn't do any RCs
in the morning I noticed that I must have had 3+ FAs where I didn't do RCs
I'm such a moron xD

I dreamed that I was at the dentist and I was gonna have a cavity or something fixed (hell I don't know, all I know is that they were gonna use that goddamn drill), and I was extremely nervous (much more nervous than in waking life), and they tried to comfort me by giving me ice cream!
Have you ever heard of professional dentists giving their patients ice cream right before an operation?
I have definitely never heard of any dentist like that, except in this dream of course.

When I think about it, this was a double dreamsign, because not only does it seem strange to be given ice cream by dentists, it was also a dreamsign that they just randomly had ice cream standing around at their workplace.

Pseudo Lucidity / Maximum Stupidity

So I am in a tight ally apparently made of a dark color mud, trying to remote control back up my jeep and a trailer into the alley. Finally it lines up and makes it in but it is tearing up the mud, as I watch it pass I can see it digging a car width trench (only about 3 feet width in the dream) into the mud, I know it is tearing up some other guys portion of the alley, and he is standing there. I tell him I'll fix it. then I turn back and look again and the ground is not only totally level but also it is now completely paved with marble. I don't want the guy to know I didn't do the work and figure the only way it could have happened was if this is a dream, but Don't want him to know so I try to hide this fact from him. Then I think I should make an excuse that I have to go (probably because for a split second I was thinking of doing some fun lucid dream stuff) but in my effort to hide from him that it's all just a dream, I managed to hide this fact from myself too. I walk off to my supposed appointment and wake up. LAME!

Was playing in an orchestra and I see all of a sudden that my instrument has turned entirely bright, metallic green. I decide this is because it's reflecting some green thing in the distance. Doh. Oh yeah, and I was checking out a giant trough of cocaine.

Was filling out paperwork and one of the questions was "Are you actually dreaming right now?" I circled no so people wouldn't think I was crazy.
Then when I looked back the question had completely changed. Nothing suspicious here!

A DC pointed out multiple dream signs to me, but instead of becoming lucid myself, I congratulated him and explained that he was having a lucid dream. I showed him some dream control techniques and then I went on my way, feeling glad that I had helped someone else have a lucid dream.
