Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

Last night in my dream, I was at work. I knew I was only an hour into my shift.

Then suddenly, I'm at home. I start thinking, "How did I get here?". I texted many coworkers, asking them if I went home sick and I was just so out of it that I couldn't remember. I just kept thinking, "how am I here? Why am I here? I should be at work right now!".

Eventually, I texted one friend who replied with "dude that's a symptom of autism".

Then my dream continued on as normal, and I completely forgot about it.

Haha, stuff like that sometimes happens to me and I get really confused. One time I thought I had accidentally teleported somehow and tried to figure out what I had done so I could teleport back where I was.

Explaining to someone about Lucid Dreaming and demonstrating how to do a reality check !

I guess one of mine would be becoming lucid, but then deciding "not to have a lucid dream because the alarm is going to go off in a minute and I have to go to work anyways'. So, back to regular dream, and waking up in the middle of the night a little later. Doh!

-Redrivertears-

i was pretty sure i was semi-lucid this morning but it didnt turned into a full blown lucid dream
i was getting ready for school. it was raining. at some point, i was semi-realized i was dreaming. my plan was to get out of the house, and do my thing when i was at school. my dad and my bro was already in the car waiting for me for the school. i hastily put on my soccer shoes. i thought "why do i need that in poor rain?" and switched to rain boots
but they left without me. i later tried to chase down the car but i woke up soon after

I'm still a beginner so I don't have too many experiences, but once in a dream I was thinking that if I look at numbers, look away, then look back I will find them different, and I was doing this reality check in the dream (I never did it in reality, just read about it), and I saw the numbers changing which proved the theory, but still I didn't go lucid. Crazy! and of course I think and talk about Lucid dreaming sometimes in dreams and don't become lucid. .

Anyway the only reality check that worked for me so far is the "How did I end up here?" one although I don't do it enough in walking life.

I dreaming that I was in my brother's dream and I even said to him,"Man, DJ! You're so lucky you're having a lucid dream. And it's so vivid, too. I want to have a lucid dream." At one point, I even said,"Oh yeah. This is a dream. Too bad it's my brothers, though." -_-

i was on a very high building and i dropped, but before i hit the ground i opened up a menu and clicked leave game so ididnt hit the floor and hurt myself. the only thing leaving the game was was just respawning me aswell, which is what i wanted.

I woke up in the morning and i took the kids to school. I came home and was so tired i had a nap. I was dreaming that i was in my room tidying up. It was so vivid. Then my kids came into my room and i thought to myself -what are my kids doing in my room? I have taken them to school. So i said 'am i dreaming?' I tried to push my hand through the wall to see i was actually dreaming but my hand wouldn't go through. Minutes later i said 'am i sure i am not dreaming? My kids should be at school' so i tried again to push hand through wall but failed again. So i came to the conclusion that i was awake.
I was so disappointed when i actually woke up.

"Oh, this is just like that dreamsign, except this is for real."

A few days ago I tried to fire a magic ball at someone, it didn't work. Then my fellow prisoner fired it (at the guard) and the guard fired a bigger ball of his own. I didn't get lucid

I went into the backyard, turned around to go back in the house, and found the patio and back door suddenly missing. I got really confused, thinking I had accidentally wandered into someone else's backyard, though I couldn't imagine how since our yard is all fenced in. So I did a RC, which seemed to indicate reality. I had that vague doubt in the back of my mind that I needed to look more deeply, which commonly happens and allows me to become lucid even in dreams with “reality” RCs. Tried the RC again, still looked normal, so I decided it was real and forgot to continue watching out for dream signs. Whoops.

I was rewarded with a non-lucid dream plot of getting seen by people demanding what I was doing trespassing in their backyard, and later fighting with swarms of horrible bugs I've never seen before that behaved like weed stickers/burs that stick into my body and immediately fly back to me and stick back in when I try to pull them off. So maybe I won't make this mistake again.

While getting high of dream edibles last night: "I bet this is going to interfere with my dream recall."

The other night gravity stopped working, and I was like hey, the world just became a magic swimming pool and started swimming around in zero gravity. How did that not make me lucid?

Last night the Joker hijacked my school bus. Thought nothing of it.

Last night I was looking at some kind of floating computer screen or something, and for some reason I was supposed to look at a bunch of names for the primary senses that were written out on the screen.
The screen displayed 8 (yes, 8) primary senses, and a few of them were sensible things like "sight", "hearing" etc, but I also saw weird things like "heart" (wtf?) and "@#@!1" (I don't know, some random string of symbols like that), and I was like "hey, HEART is not a sense!".
For some reason, I never questioned the even more nonsensical "@#@!1" stuff.
Also, I didn't realize that maybe, all these stupid things were perhaps a sign that I was dreaming???

I'm with my wife and I want to head up the final hill home [to childhood home], but the stairway out of the room to outside leads through a toaster oven which is cooking an open-faced sandwich which is blocking the way out.

Last night during a dream, my manager was showing me a bracelet. I forget what it said on it, but the text changed right in front of my eyes. I watched it change. I thought "Oh, now it says ________. Interesting!"

Really? -_-

It's been a couple weeks now, but:

Me: *running around like an idiot* OH MAN I HATE IT WHEN DREAMS DON'T MAKE SENSE *keeps running around like an idiot*

Not to long ago I was somehow stuck in another persons dream. She was talking to me about how she can control everything, but I can't because I'm not the lucid one. Felt like it went on for awhile, then I suddenly decided to go have my own dream so I can be in control and told her that I would bring her into mine. That's when I said "It's been fun being in your dream with you, I'll see you in a few..." Then I woke up.

I had a couple extremely obvious dreamsigns last night.

The first thing I remember from my last dream was that it had started snowing outside - which in itself is of course not a dreamsign, since snow in Sweden in early October is totally possible.
The real reamsign was that one of my uncles randomly showed up behind me in my apartment, and he has absolutely no reason whatsoever to just show up like that with no warning, since I study more than 500 miles away from home, and if he wanted to visit me then he would have obviously told me about it in advance, and tried to figure out when it was the best time for him to do that.

Then, about five minutes later, I had a fairly nerdy dreamsign - I was looking up the very first Bridging Problem in the physics book "University Physics With Modern Physics - 13:th Edition" (damn good book, by the way), and I noticed that it was suddenly extremely weird and asked for really arbitrary things - I cannot even remember what the question was like, but it had absolutely nothing to do with fundamental physics.
The real Bridging Problem from chapter 1 in that book is about calculating the work that is done by a box that slides down a tilting roof of a house, and I actually kind of knew that even during the dream, so I was very, very close to becoming lucid there.
In fact, I have a feeling that I even was lucid for a couple seconds, but I cannot say for sure if I was.

Ok how about this? I was at a theme park and ran into someone I recognized as a friend of my grandson's. Only, the person was actually a blue glass cup sitting on a low shelf. I felt bad for him not having a normal face since I couldn't read his emotions, but I introduced myself to him. He really was a nice fellow as I recalled. I knew something seemed odd but I wasnt sure what.

From my DJ:

I was walking up the stairs at home. It was really windy, though. I thought "oh, hey, I need to do a RC soon". But then I looked around, the stairs looked normal and the super strong wind, with no windows around, also seemed normal. Finally, the mountains below the stairs also made sense. So I shrugged and thought "nah, this is real. There's no way I could feel such strong winds in a dream".

YES WAY LUCAS YES WAY YOU IDIOT
