Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

Last night i was in my room in the pitch black so i flicked the switch to put the light on but it didn't work, and i was thinking why ain't the light working , this could be a dream so then i thought about doing a rc but i decided not to.

I was so annoyed with myself when i woke up.

haha, these posts are so funny! mine is stupid too, I was int ehbathroom, looing in the mirror, and I said, "If I didn't know I was awake I would swear I was dreaming."

Here's one from last night:

I'm in a duty free store (in an ND), and at the liquor section. Amongst the whisky is a large, cheap looking bottle of dark liquid with 'LUCID DREAM' on it in block capitals. The manufaturer's claim is that drinking it will help induce lucid dreams, but I think 'what a rip off, it's obviously a scam', and never think to question the dream.

The night before, I drove to a house reputed to be haunted, because I somehow thought that seeing a ghost would induce an LD . I went up to the back doorway (it was a pretty ordinary house), and this gray looking kid suddenly appeared in the doorway, accomanied by a loud grating noise, which shocked me, waking me up. My 5AM WBTB alarm was sounding.

It seems like LDing has been showing up in my dreams lately. A good sign, I guess.

On a side note, my recall is improving. I remembered around five normal dreams last night, but I only wrote 3 or 4 lines on each, just two or three word descriptions of things or events. Does it matter greatly whether one records NDs in detail, or is this form of short notes just as or almost as effective? I dont really want to write them all out in full, as it's tedious, and would wake me up more, which could mess with my WILD attemtps.

Ideally, you'd want to write them out in as much detail as possible. Write notes if you need to then flesh them out later after you awaken for the day.

I've been pretty lazy about that too lately, with my non-LDs and have been losing a lot of good stuff. If nothing else, it's fun to go back and read for a good laugh or just to stroll down memory lane.

But really, your non-lucids are the ones you most benefit from having written down. On the other hand, the lucids are the ones you most want to remember because they're so special.

I was on the top of a water slide with Will Smith, trying to throw garbage down to the ground for over $1,000,000. Then I went down the slide, shot off the end, and landed on my feet in the grass beyond the landing pool. And of course this is all normal in a dream...

I was in a dream with a friend DC, and she did a reality check and became lucid. I was jealous because I wanted to have an LD, but figured I couldn't because I was just a DC in HER lucid dream...

I was saying like "Man, I wish this was my dream so I could become lucid..." It wouldn't be as bad if I believed in shared dreaming...

One time as soon as i began to dream i was like noooo, i didn't lucid. I need to find a way to lucid easier, that dream continued on for awhile and when i woke up i wasn't very happy when i thought of that part.

Well, one of my DC's got lucid and went around telling people about it... I think it might have been a shared dream and some lucid guy thought I was a DC Anyway, I just admired him and also went around telling people he was lucid.

Ok, I was at a carnival with my mom, grandma, and grandpa, and my grandma and grandpa (Who I really lived with at the time) went to the bathroom and didn't come back for 2 days. So mom and I want to her house, but her 4 dogs had turned into the dancing cows, and we went inside but mom forgot to shut the door, and they came in and she was trying to stop them from stepping on me, and one said that a green gummi bear was in the mailbox, so I went to get it and a chicken popped out and ate me and I woke up.

Don't know how I missed that one...

*slap slap slappity slap*
I dreamed last night that I was in WoW on a playground with a bunch of people dressed up like Horde and Alliance killing each other, when an old woman runs out with a plate full of jugs and yelled:
"Ya wanna be a shaman? Drink this!" Well then I drank it and turned into a rogue(???) then went on a big dream mission to save a baby, who I saved and then died. Then I came back to life when she was older and died again for no reason...

The most hilarious way i became lucid was :

I was "*ucking" a dream women, and than i realized that i just couldnt cum...
I became lucid since my logic told me its impossible for me!

About the dream women, she did enjoy her time while i was lucid lol

Ok - I went up to Elvis Presley and asked him "What are you doing in my dream?" and didn't become lucid. I stood in a bay window with people firing guns at me, and wondering why the glass didn't break much and why I wasn't worried about getting shot - and still didn't become lucid. I had a wonderful dream in amazing color, and thought wow yes I do dream in color - and still didn't become lucid. Lots more like this ....

I was dreaming that I was trying to WILD at a friend's house and then a friend shouted : "i did it you're in my dream" we're all dreaming YAY ... didnt do an RC

after reading a page or two.....what's the best way to enable yourself to REALIZE you're dreaming in these "obvious" situations rather than just going along with things such as throwing garbage with Will Smith?

i think iv did a RC where it failed and i still didn't go lucid. really pissed me off

While dreaming I saw myself in a mirror and I had this ridiculous hairstyle like something out of the 80's. I was so caught up on how stupid my hair was I didn't realize I was actually in the dream and of course I woke up. Frustrating...

I was leaving a situation involving two fellow Dreamviews members. I was running from a dog, carrying my paper dream journal and had to keep fighting the pages that were trying to spill out onto the ground. Never thought to do an RC.

- I was in "lucid dreaming class" and I attended the entire lecture without becoming lucid.
- My dreamsign showed itself so obviously obvious it was too obvious to miss.
- My light wouldn't work, I wondered to myself why it didn't work, and then I just thought "oh never mind" and skipped on.

During a false awakening I got up from my bed and walked down the hall, and I did a reality check. On one hand I had 6 fingers, on the other I had 4. I just thought to myself "okay 10 I'm awake"

I have dreams about me trying to do a WILD, and I'm like, "If these DCs would just leave, I could have an LD!"

Last night was the stupidest way i missed becoming lucid. I was dreaming i had just bunked/truented the whole day of school with my friend, i walked into school (there were a few minutes left) and a teacher caught us. It was the last day of term so he told us we would have detention on the first day back, and then (this is where it gets strange) he gives me and my friend a packet of lucid crisps which are supposed to make u lucid if u eat them. The bell went and i started walking for the bus with my friend and my old friend from school, (while reading the back of the pack of the crisps) and then it hit me that any time i hear or see the words lucid, dream/s/ing i do a rc so i am just about to do a rc before my old school mate distracts me and then i forget all about it. (damn dc's)

When i woke up i was so angry at myself for missing this, not only that but i also missed my dreamsign (old school) which i dream of all the time. I also wonder if i would have become lucid if i eat the lucid crisps.

Uh, after I had a lucid dream, I woke up in a hotel (FA) and went to the balcony, on the balcony above me was Orihema (from BLEACH) and below me was tatskay or whatever that lesbian friend of hers name is (ok so they never 'say' she is a lesbian but come on who are they kidding? lol) I told Orihema, "I had the wierdest kindof lucid dream just a second ago."
Lol...That should have been a tip huh? I was SOO FREAKING EAGER to tell someone I had a lucid dream it slipped my mind I might still be sleeping.

I dreampt I was in a public bathroom...using a payphone...and saying to myself..hmmm, this sucks..I wish it was a dream...:dream ends:

My most common dream sign appeared. Many aeroplanes flying very close to the ground, and nearly hitting houses and tall buildings. I said tomy friend 'ha! this is usually my dream sign! I can't believe those planes are so close to the ground!'
