Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

In my dream, I realized that I have full control over anything. I decided to do a RC, so I tried to fly and it worked. For some reason, I still didn't realize it was a dream, though.

Last night, I've been into lucid dream... but after some time.. in the last part of my dream.. I woke up inside a dream.. and I was like.. "I still want to dream!!" well, I didn't realize that I was in a dream...

Oh no

tonight, F.A (after making the task )
thought i had fallen asleep on the sofa instead going to bed yesterday, so i took some blankets to take up to bed and thought "fun, i'm carring them but i also feel them on my laying body..... oh well, it must be a residual of what i was dreaming before!"

... stupid

The other night i dreamt i was walking along the M5 ..and it suddenly turned into like a muddy track.
It also suddenly turned from night to day, i even remember thinking how strange that was but still didn't even consider that i might be dreaming

A few nights ago, I was dreaming that I was in a kitchen waiting for someone. It was slightly odd, but not too out of place. I kept asking myself if I was dreaming or not, but my answer was always "this is to real to be a dream...". Of course, I woke up later and was rather unpleased...

Thats why i always reality check even if it feels ultra real because i have had many dream where i thought to myself this isn't a dream but i will perform a reality check anyway to confirm, and i am amazed to find that i am dreaming.

I mean for all you know you could be dreaming right now.

Are you?

I was underwater and still breathing. I said to myself, "this is weird, maybe I'm dreaming." But then a voice in my head said that I was breathing air from my inflated shirt. I accepted this and did not become lucid.

Stupid inner voice

I've had two recently:

In the first, I was in my friend's room and he said, "Oh, here are your sneakers. I've had them since our vacation two months ago." I said, "Buuuut, I've been using those sneakers for the past two months. I just used them yesterday. How can I have been using them AND you've had them?" He chalked it up to alternate realities or something. I said, "But this is so much like what I've been reading about. Dreams and such." I KNEW, yet I didn't become lucid.

Last night I was in my work office and all of my co-workers were cartoons. I said to myself, "Well that's not right. They shouldn't be cartoons." Still, no lucidity

better luck tonight, I hope.

Edit: Oh, and here's the kicker. When I woke up, I reached up and touched my chin. I thought my chin didn't feel real so I did some Reality Checks (hands and clock). I was so disoriented.

This is the first time I've had a dream in which I could have become lucid easily from an RC but didn't get it. And it's stupid because this would be really hard to realize this was a dream.

I saw text and it was all garbled. I couldn't read it. I probably should have known this was really weird except it was on a computer screen...one I was trying to fix in the first place. I just figured the video card was messing up or the screen was going out. There were pixels missing all over the screen as well. I could move the mouse around and move windows and everything, so it worked fine. It was just the screen. And it was an old Windows 98 machine with a 15" monitor.

This has got to be one of the stupidest ways EVAR. It happened this morning:

Toward the end of the dream, a blond lady rang on the doorbell, and entered the house. She was a Jungian dream interpreter. She asked me to go ahead and tell her some dreams. I found her interpretations obvious and shallow, and eventually we came upon the topic of lucid dreaming. And so I asked:

"So what does a dream about lucid dreaming, but without becoming lucid mean?"

She rolled her eyes and smiled. "That your mind is trying to work with you to lucid dream, of course!"

McDonalds officially sponsoring lucid dreaming?! COME ON!

HAHA. Man, that sucks. This thread is great.

ok my dream was boring and i walked up to my room... everything else there was boring and there was a stack of board games. The one on top had the slogan "SO BORING YOU'll LUCID" i wish i had gotten it b/c first off its the strongest memory from that dream andits bad grammar XD

Damn, even the games were bored*.

*Alright, that was a lame pun - better luck next time.

Well, the other night, in a dream, I wasn't lucid, but I felt the dream fading, and so I "remembered" that I should stay still and keep my eyes closed. I did so, and it went black, then I heard noises, and - I was in a classroom. So I was all, "Aww, it didn't work." xD;

The same thing happened to me only it wasn't the M5

I was riding along the road on my bike, which i would never do to start with anyway as it's a very busy road, then the road dissapeared and turned to mud and stuff. How could i be so gullible?

If that wasn't enough, later on in the dream i was riding on my bike again, I headed towards town and within a minute i was there, but I live miles away from the town so how could i get there so quickly eh?

How could I have missed those 'in yer face' dreamsigns

I was driving and another car can head on into my lane and I kept honking the horn but my horn didn't go off and i did it like 5 times?
I woke up and was like NOOOO

I was dreaming a few days ago that I was waiting for a subway train with my dad and sister (Backstory: I was wandering around a city with my sister and I was lost. I had to get home so I took a random train and ended up at a station and I met my dad there). When the train arrived, inside was a gelatinous red and flesh-colored monster that was attached to the walls, ceiling, and floor. The people who stupidly went inside the train were promptly eaten. We decided to wait for the next train, and it too was infected. Me and my dad said, "well it doesn't look too safe, let's try going to another station". >_<

I was dreaming that the father of one of my best friend was dead. I was next to my friend's room, asking myself how i'll comfort him, and his father was there next to me saying "I know this is difficult to talk about the death of his dad...". I just miss that nosense...

I had a false awakening in a room which wasn't familiar to me, though my stereo was right aside the bed I was in. That got me distracted enough that I forgot to do a RC, which I usually do whenever I wake up. I noticed that the music keeps playing despite I turned off the amp and cd player, which got me suspicious and it stroke my mind that I had forgotten to do a RC check. Though, before I got a chance to do a RC, I woke up again in the same room, but this time, my friends were there. I said to one of them "It is going to be hard to do a reality check now." while I tried to fly which didn't work, since he was holding me tight to my bed. For some reason, it didn't came to my mind to just watch the scene from a different perspective, which actually was a good RC for me many times before. Instead, I searched for something to read, but didn't find anything. Then I woke up for real.

Hello, I have been browsing dreamviews for awhile now, but I thought I would register so I could start posting about some of my dreams. I know that this doesn't compare to some of the posts in this thread, but here is one of my stupidest moments.

about two months ago I had a very vivid dream, which is unussual for me, where I was climbing a ladder up to a cloud that I guess I was living in. I opened the door and looked around at the furnishings. It was really dark, so I decided that I would turn on the lights. After flicking the switch, however, I noticed that the light wouldn't turn on. At first I thought this was strange, but after about a minute of thinking I came to the conclusion that there is no reason WHY lights would work because I was in a cloud! I later preceded to answer a box on the coffee table that was ringing. It was my friend andrea who had recently broke her phone. This made me lucid! I woke up shortly after so I really didn't do anything fun.

DCs/'subconscious manifestation DCs' (DGs, SGs, whatever) telling me that I'm dreaming.

I was having a nightmare and desperately wanted to wake up, so i buried my face in my hands and started repeating "wake up, wake up, wake up..." It worked... sort of.

I woke up in another dream, thinking i had actually woken up. I noticed that my room was quite dark so i concluded that it must still be early in the morning. I realized what a great, although unexpected opportunity it was to try WILDing. I hadn't researched into it that much yet and hadn't read any of the tutorials, but i recalled a few, random posts from the forum that instructed people to relax and chant things like: "I'm dreaming, I will know that i am in a dream and will become lucid, I'm dreaming etc." I went back into bed, closed my eyes (eyelids worked just fine) and began repeating that type of phrases to myself. Within seconds i slipped back into the same 'subdream' and was back experiencing the nightmare (at a different stage though), not aware of the fact that i was dreaming.

Total failure

So how did you realize, that it was a false awakening, and you didn't woke up in the dark and tried a WILD for real?

I had a weird one in which i started out lucid and wanted to enter a spaceship, so i made one land and i made my way into it. Once i got into the spaceship i looked around and moaned; the interior of the ship was horrible! It was very victorian and not at all how i wanted it. So i made may way around the ship and walked into a small room, and who should be sitting in an arm chair smoking a cigar...... none other than William Shatner! Well i got so angry at seing him just sat there laughing to himself on MY ship that i totaly lost my Lucidity and lost all hope in mankind.... True story!
