Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

In two separate dreams I tried to WILD while in the dream... did it work? No. Did I even think to question if I was dreaming? Of course not!

I was also at a convention for lucid dreamers, talking about lucid dreams. Did I question anything? No.

And any time I can breathe underwater. I always think at first that I can't, but inevitably I can. Is that just a subconscious desire that I have and I'm just so glad that I can that I don't think anything about it?


You'd think it was obvious!

I was riding my bike next to a creek that I usually ride by (and no one really knows it's there because it's surrounded by trees on one side and feilds and meadows on the other side) and for some reason in the dream it was like a magical secret new world that only I knew about. Now this is REALLY random. I was riding my bike and there a bunch of ladders that turned into rubber and started running around. I thought "This is like something that would happen in a dream... but... my life is so weird like this, I think it would be pointless for me to do a reality check, because I know that I'm the only one in the world that would be able to see something like this in real life." How stupid can I be?

i had a dream were the whole duration i was reading the forums , did not do 1 RC check was just reading ,

In a dream, I was levitating in front of my friend, and wondered: "Oh can I really do that, float in the air?!". How stupid I was. :p

i don't know if this is the stupidest but it's certainly the most annoying way i missed becoming lucid there's this celebrity i want really badly nicole from the pussycat dolls and i walk in my bedroom and she is sitting on my desk and i just think thats a normal thing to happen. How did i not even question it, when i woke up i was like noooooooooooooooo!!!!

I watched Jack Bauer cut off somebodys toe in a cottage an believed it was real, thats how gullible i am

I was underwater for some reason, struggling to reach the surface before I drowned. I was holding my breath, and while under the water, breathed a bit. Without drowning, of course, since in reality, I was surrounded by plenty of oxygen.

...I somehow convinced myself that that hadn't just happened. Like "ohshit i breathed... I mean... didn't... *struggling for surface*, no, I totally didn't breathe..."

This guy and this girl came up to me and said "Congratulations, you're lucid dreaming", so they started teaching me the basic principals of it. There were apparently "patches" of lucidness and in them this crazy music played and I was flying on a magic carpet underwater.

.... Obviously, those patches didn't work XD

Seems like the the concept of flying and lucid-dreaming go mixed in my subconicious mind because whenever I think of LD-ing, I think of flying, that being my main objective.

This gave me the biggest laugh I've had in probably months.

The stupidest time I missed being lucid was this:
I was at the end of my street, and there were a whole bunch of people there. Suddenly Sheshomaru from Inuyasha came up and said it was the LOL. I thought he was going to say that stood for the Line Of Learning, but he said it was the Line Of Lucidity. Grr... I didn't become lucid, but it was so obvious!

two things
1: asking If I was asleep,
2: Dreaming I was a toy bear.


One, I asked someone if I was dreaming, but they just laughed...So I spent the dream trying to figure out if I was lucid.

the funniest thing ever was when I dreamt I was a toy bear sky diving with other toys, and our sergeant lept before us, forcing us to either let him die, or jump ourselves to save him, right then and there, no time to think hehe. Met winnie the pooh later.

I had one where I was a fish, but a shark came and I turned back into a human to scare him away. No LD =[

The other night I was in an underground mine watching some guys move some rock. I was still moving my fingers trying to do FILD. I thought to myself, that rock would really come in handy with my FILD technique.

*shlaps self*

I had a dream last night in which I was John Amplas from the George A Romero movie "Martin" the dream was based on that aswell. You'd think I'd be suspicous considering that the dream was in third person view alot and I had short, dark hair (and I was a vampire - kinda).

i had lots, but is there any way where you can stop this and get a LD instead of bein incredibly stupid? cause i'm getting fed up with this crap.

In a dream, someone mentioned they were going to "Oxford College Harvard", which I thought couldn't be real, so I stopped to do a relaity check, bt was hit, so I got distracted. The next dream I had referenced the person going to "Oxford College Harvard", the dream character went as for as to mention it beig like a dream to which I replied "Oh, I was wondering if it was a dream, thanks for confirming it not to be", before walking ito a shop where people were stuffing dogs under their shirts.

Happy hunting

EDIT: Just so others know, I didn't tell the name but I did provide a hint on where he has it posted.

Can you edit that away please GH, while it is there, I'm not really comfortable with randoms knowing. Cheers.

On topic, I've also had several dreams where my DC's have been telling me I'm in a dream, to which my response is often "Do go away please", though less PG13.

No problem. Done. Just so others know, I didn't tell the name but I did provide a hint on where he has it posted.

im fairly new to lding so i havent had much, but the latest , (day before yesterday) and which annoyed me the most was this:

ok, my first 'real' ld came from when i walked past a mirror and saw i had long hair (which i dont in real life) and realized i was dreaming. that was like a week ago.

This time i was again in front of a mirror, and i had looong hair, all i thought in the dream was "boy my hair DOES grow fast"

One time I was watching T.V. and my friend said "YOU'RE DREAMING!" I was all like "stfu, I'm waching my show."

So, a couple nights ago I got a job at a place that helps people become lucid. Apparently they couldn't help ME get lucid in the dream. I remember reading some kind of manual, I guess it was supposed to inform me on what I did at the job. It was the second time I could read words in a dream, and there are only two words I clearly remember... "lucidient experiences". Ok, one of them isn't a word. But it's damn close! The rest had something to do with "helping people achieve" or some such, something to that effect. But yeah, I'm pretty angry after that one. There are probably more but I'm too lazy to go upstairs to my room and get my dream journal.

OH! I remember now. I looked at a clock and it read "YOU'RE DREAMING!" That as you could guess was the first time I read and remembered words in a lucid dream. Maybe words are trying to tell me something.

I watched a man run up a wall...and all I thought was, "Wow, he must be a good lucid dreamer."

Then I woke up and promptly kicked myself in the head.
