Lucid Failure

im new to lucid dreaming but i think i almost got there. i had a decently long dream and it was really strange and unlikley of happening. i was by a road after being attacked by coyotes. then all of a sudden my kitchen appeared around me but with no ceiling or walls and the ground was where i was standing before. i though "hey, could this be a dream even tho it feels so real" and then i looked at the digital clock above my stove and it said 1:15. i assumed i wasn't dreaming because i've seen Waking Life, the part about the whole clocks will be jumbled thing. is that just bullshit or did i mess something up?

For the reality check to work you have to look at the clock then look away then look back.

sorry I'm kinda shacky right now I was just in sp and had the shakes!

Yeah, you have to look at something else and then back again...

I remember the one time it worked best for me. It was such a realistic dream, I never would have guessed... I looked at my watch, and it said 6:52 or something, and then when I looked back, it said 12:52!!! I was so shocked that I actually WAS dreaming, I think I woke myself up... :wink:

Damnit. that happened to me last night kind of. I was in a weird long dream. I ran across the road to my neighbors house and when I got in front I said. Wait. Im dreaming. I know im dreaming. I thought about it and then lost my thought quickly. Could I have been lucid?

Definatly...... You coulda lost lucidity or got to excited, but if you KNEW you were dreaming, yes.
