Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

The phone is my downfall!

I've had a number of occurences where I missed obvious lucid cues. But I wouldn't call them stupid or attribute any blame to myself. When dreaming we are in a state of delusion.

A delusion is a belief that is immune to logic or reasoning.

So it would be credible to say that, within dreams, our brains are functioning in a way as if we were mentally ill, or in a state of psychosis.

If we found out that we were suddenly able to fly in reality, we would question immediately, and perhaps us lucid enthusiasts would do a reality check. In a dream, we may not blink an eyelid at such an occurence, not because of voluntary foolishness, but just human inability.

So if it happens to you, don't worry its not your fault.

Yes, that is very funny.

I got shot in the head and died...only to reverse time back to the point before the man with the gun even came to me. Oh, and I did this TWICE!

Give him the medal.

On another unrelated matter..........1000 posts. Ha ha ha.

I used telekinesis(is that the right word) to reclaim a comrades sword from a kinda U shaped canyon, which I had accidently knocked down, in sparring practice, and thought that was ordinary enough. It annoys me how I failed to notice it was a dream, ugh.

Taken directly from my DJ:

"...I saw traffic lights that were alive, and they hung from their bars by their hands. When they are green they swing back and forth playfully, and when they are red they stop swinging..."

Why I never thought this was weird at the time, I don't know.

I was a guy being attack by a guy much like my brother because he thought me and his wife were having an affair. and he kept bashing me on the head with crystal bowls and unopen tin cans of beans

Being strangled by my mouse O_o.. Now how i failed to see that as a dream is beyond me..

i was trying the DILD last night, so i was repeating the "I will realize i am dreaming...". sur enough, in my dream, i was at school and one of my friends was mimicking me saying "I will realize i am dreaming..." laughing. well, truns out i never ended up realizing.

I was on the internet in this dream looking at houses for sale and I couldn't get a clear view so I went through the computer screen. Looked through the window to see the neighborhood. Wasn't good enough so I jumped out of the window to get a better view and landed on concrete. Couldn't move so I went back upstairs and kept jumping until I could walk around. I didn't think it was weird at all while dreaming it.

I was having a dream and I said,"This is such a cool dream! I hope I remember it when I wake up!"

What's even MORE hilarious is that I actually DON'T remember it!(except for that statement of course)

Haha, oh my god!

--------------------------

Technically I was already lucid but only for live five seconds, as soon as I "woke up" I got scared, there was a clone staring at me....

This is rather sad and childish but i've managed not to be lucid when this super hero character asked me to take his place for the day.

He gave me an elephant to ride that was able to free run and what not and run up walls and things, the elephant was extremely fast and had a very light weight.

This super hero-like character had a job of performing on the streets for money by giving people rides on the free running elephant.

I gave this old woman a ride on the elephant (since I was taking the super hero's place) and after a while I got bored of her being on and she dissapeared off the elephant.

Later, after I had done the job, I had to go into this very skanky, run-down flat. I climbed up several rusty metal stair cases. Because the stairs were rusty they started to break under my feet, I looked below me (the stairs are those queer ones where they are just pannels) and I could no longer see the other stairs, I could only vaguely see a cold, wet brick floor which was a VERY long way down.

This is when I had a similar dream from when I was about 7. (I used to be scared of the steps that were pannel-like, the type of ones that when you look down you can see the floor because I am also afraid of heights)

Then I got to the top, eventually, clinging on to the half-secure rails in fear of falling. There was now a swimming pool below and a long diving board (I got forced to dive off a very high diving board when I was younger) I stepped on to the board and my legs were trembling and i peered down so close to the edge that I got that feeling in my stomach of sharp uneasyness.

I knocked on the door of the super hero's flat, he had long dark hair and a deformed face, some what burned. it ended up he was a 'bad guy' and was smoking pot in his room. I removed the mask he had lent me off my face (It was Slipknot looking) and blood then started to pour from my hair line.

I can't remember much more but the rest involved a electric screwdriver and a lump in my throat (The type where you watch a sad movie or something and you try and fight crying)

And I wasn't freaking lucid!!

I was for some reason performing the play King Richard III by Shakespeare when suddenly the Monty Python gang barge in awkwardly, with everyone looking around in silence, and them saying in unison, "No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!." I laughed but then was profoundly frightened when they pulled out the Holy hand grenade.

When one of my characters said "don't have sex, commit suicide."

LOL!

I was in a heated pool with my dad and for some reason I was magnetized to the floor of the pool (I can always breathe underwater in all my dreams). I waited out the remainder of the dream laying underwater on the bottom of the pool.

How did I not see that as a dream?

D'accord... a couple of really dumb ones:

1. I'm Spiderman, and I have to fight Hawkeye in this office building. I'm looking around for my costume wondering where the hell it is, but then I look at Hawkeye and he's dressed in trousers, white shirt, and a tie while shooting arrows at me, so I figure, "Screw it, if he hasn't got his costume, I probably don't need mine". Somewhere into the fight in the office, I try to shoot some web at him, but nothing happens. I wonder what the hell is going on...then just jump him instead. (NOTE: I wasn't Peter Parker, I was me, as I am, but with the Spiderman alter-ego.)

2. I'm in a bathroom, looking into this concave mirror with multiple sides. I'm looking into each side of the mirror but my reflection isn't appearing. I'm thinking, "What the hell is going? Why can't I see myself?"

I tend to do quite regular reality checks, especially when I see or experience something unusual, so I can't believe I didn't remember to do any in these Dreams. Those were just the highlights, there were plenty more cues that I missed too (like being on my street where all the buildings had been painted royal-blue, and the street had been blocked off by a wooden royal-blue coloured cut-out). Oh well, just to keep trying...

A dog was talking to me casualy in a dream I had on Friday night. I'm surprised I remember the conversation.

"Are you my grandfather?

"No..."

"Are you a DC?"

"Yes..."

"What is your name?"

"Reese..."

Then the dog walked away and I found myself in another dream.

Now this is the weird part. When I woke up from this, I made a plan to ask my mom what her dad's name was, because I was pretty sure it was Reese. But then I remembered we had a small family tree photo with just my grandparents, my parents, and me. So I went to check, and found out that Reese is my Grandmother's middle name.

Yeah...that was kinda weird...but it was a talking DOG!!! And I asked if it was a DC!!!! I literally slapped myself when I woke up.

Last night, i did the nose holding RC to check if i was dreaming, except i couldn't breath when i held my nose, and assumed i must have been awake >_<

Seems like i need to find a new/better RC method

I was talking to some DC and i said " Hey I've seen this in a dream before."

DC days, "Wait a dream?"

I say, " Yeah, this is a dream."

DC says, " I'm dreaming?, oh my god thats crazy."

I say, "Yeah, dont freak out, its basically like real life, the way this all looks."

DC says, "Oh alright, that seems ok."

But from all this i dont become lucid.

Instead people start changing appearance as im looking at them and i wake up, guess cause i was losing concentration.
