Thread: What is your stupidest missed lucid opportunity?

He never said he realized he was dreaming. His last line just meant he was frustrated because he got so close to becoming lucid, and he's not had one lucid yet.

No. He missed his chance to become Lucid. He never said he was Lucid. If he did he wouldn't have posted here. You're right about the definition, though.

EDIT: Whoops! Didn't see Conquer's post. Dumb second page...Just came out of nowhere...

I've had the same happen to me before. Damn second page. *Shakes fist*

Ack, can't even tell you how many times I've missed becoming lucid because of small things.

One of the most obvious was where I dreamt I was flipping through my DJ, which was a bunch of post-it notes. (In real life it's a notebook.) And even then, I couldn't really make out the words. I just saw some kind of scribbles on the paper.

browsing a lucid dreaming store in a mall
talking about how I missed becoming lucid
attending a lucid dreaming seminar/ practice event.

2 nights ago...
I was in a room with a digital clock. It read 10:50. Then I kept asking DCs what the time was instead of looking at the clock again. When I finally did look at the clock again it read -02. Yes, no colon, just -02. I thought that the cable went out...

Well, these experiences must be REALLY frustrating.

One time I was driving and I saw a bilboard that said "you are dreaming, do a reality check". So I do a RC and it doesn't work so I just keep driving.

Which one did you do?

The hand RC has also failed me...on more than one occasion. I'd just look at my hands in a dream - and behold - normal, so I MUST be awake!

I once thought I may be in a dream, so decided to do a RC. I counted seven fingers on one hand and surmised that I must just be really wasted, so I went back to my dream bed.

Maybe your were, there was a person to the right of me that I didn't recognize

I did the hand RC, but I was wearing gloves and had three extra fingers. I became lucid, but it was still a REALLY obvious lucidity clue.

somebody said bla bla something something [i can't remember] Dream, i felt evereything that normaly happens but I didn't belive I was dreaming

The other night I had a dream that my friends and I were hanging out in my yard. They all left, and I was left alone, looking around. I noticed a Windows Taskbar (yes!) with a clock in the lower-right hand corner of my field-of-vision. As if that weren't enough, the clock was morphing from 6:08 to 8:06 to 9:86 to 6:90, etc., and I didn't think twice about it!

Although, I was slightly more distracted by the wolf that was tearing the flesh from my bones at that time... I wish I had the awareness to attain lucidity and turn that wolf into an ice-cream cone!

OK.....

I had a dream where my computer was turning off, a problem I had fixed in in real life. I realized I must be dreaming,so I woke myself up so I could go on the real computer.

the other day i was taking a nap and i woke up in sleep paralysis. i knew that SP commonly induces lucid dreaming on an easy scale.

i got excited when it happened to me and i tried waking up my girlfriend (who i'm guessing was in a light sleep) but i couldn't get any louder than a whisper and i couldn't pernounce my words fully.

i don't know why it didn't really cross my mind to try getting lucid. it was my first sleep paralysis experience and maybe i just got excited just for the experience. i think next time it happens, i will have intentions to step into the lucid dream world.

i didn't let this get to me though. i knew i made progress and i'm happy with that but it would have been a lot better if i got into a lucid dream.

lol, hope u get to it next time.

Now that I recall it, I once missed an extremely stupid opportunity when I was young. I didn't know yet about lucid dreaming, yet it would have been great to realize I was dreaming.

I entered my school through large steel gates that look like the entrance to the Lord Dracula's castle in Transylvania or something(creepy!), then I said Hi to one of my friends and looked at the playground. All the students were wearing green polo shirts(which weren't our school uniform, btw), and all had blue eyes! Almost no Egyptian has blue eyes!(those that I know of!).

I kinda felt that this must be a dream, but then something happened and I activated a machine that made me fly through a button in my chest(), then flew upwards, rescued some girls hanging from a laundry rope, and then blew up my whole school!!!!!!

last night i dreamt i was fighting quake 2 creatures rl form and i was thinking tomyself lol this aint real im fighting quake 2 creatures wtf? ups
