Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

I actually DID get lucid, but I was so stupid about it that it deserves to be posted here.

Basically, stuff was happening, I realised I was dreaming, but I was sure I was about to wake up, so...

Me: I'm dreaming, obviously! I'll wake up now, though.
Me:
Me:
Me:
Me: ...uhm...?
Me:
Me:
Me:
Me: I guess I was wrong! Okay, this lucid dream is here to stay! Now what should I--

I woke up.

Not as if I was trying to dream in a lucid way in these occasions, but there was one time I was literally levitating like an Indian man on a flying carpet up the stairs to my bedroom so I could watch Mike Mozart's BlogTV broadcast. After I woke he was having a broadcast too.

(Yes, back when BlogTV was a thing.)

"Huh, you would think I'd have picked up by now I am dreaming in that sort of situation..."

Also the numerous times I turned myself female in dream didn't surprise me nor did the time I turned into Rainbow Dash. Yes. A cyan coat-colored rainbow-maned female Pegasus from My Little Pony. Not even THAT surprised me. Still, I'm capable of Lucid Dreaming... Somehow.

Lot of people misunderstand the concept of lucidity. You can see all the dream signs and still ignore them if your logic or memory isn't kicking in - this is where levels of lucidity comes in. You could even dream of doing RC and talking about LD and still not become lucid if your level of lucid awareness is still "unconscious".

Personally I had lots of dreams where i talk about dreams, LD, RC, and even have dreams of retelling a recent dream to someone and still missed becoming lucid. However, the times I do count is after I have have sufficient awareness and sometimes dreams are so stable RC doesn't help me confirm its a dream. Here i am becoming lucid, but feel i may have slipped into an alternate reality. So, I become overly cautious and eventually end up waking up. XD
