Thread: What;s your biggest lucid FAIL?

Mine would be when I tried to jump really high, but I could only jump as high as a fence, my shoelace got caught on the top of the fence and it flung me to the ground, just a faceplant into a pile of autumn leaves.

What did you watch on TV that night, America's Funniest Home Videos?

...I'm Australian...so...no

PS. There's an America's Funniest home videos? I thought there was only Australia's Funniest Home Videos.

Um...I gotta remember the gist of my LD's more . So many to try to get the gist of!

I can't remember any fail FAILS, if you know what I mean, just that I wouldn't be able to fly, or I never got to find what I wanted to find (like in my LD from this morning ).

This girl got nailed by a super fast car, when I ran to save her, I realized the car tore the top half of her shirt off.. Her parents gave me not-so-happy faces. So then I just made magic, wavy hand movements while saying "Wooo-woo!" I then hopped off before seeing if she came back to life. :l

thats kinda lucky

i decided a home depot was a good place for advice about dreaming. an employee told me i was in the wrong department. i got lost.

OMG, LOL, home depot! Nice, how random! Next time you should just stick to a "smart" looking DC .

Find a "new" store- one about dreams. Or, call up the dreaming hotline xD. "Hello, yes this is ___, and I would like some dreaming advice...".

Next time go to a small owned store, those large department stores always screw you over man! xP

I have a new fail!

This one is of my most epic fails...In FOUR different lucid dreams, within a week or less, I tried to find "sunglasses dude", and though I did get some imposters, I never found HIM. I have one last trick up my sleeve...but it's getting more complicated then I want it to be!

Can anyone beat THAT? I mean, this fail has to do with FOUR different LD's trying to do the same thing...I bet no one can come up with anything more epic . If it doesn't work again, then the epicness will be even more epic.

I had just spent what felt like 10 minutes trying to really stick me in the dream, done like 4 RC's over what seemed like 100 times. I decided to stop, I stand up and look around. "I'm gonna fly!" I think to myself as I run and jump I go stiff as a board and face plant which wakes me up...

I start losing lucidity but remember that I should be able to visit the future.I see a window and tell myself that after I pass throw that window I'll be in my backyard 5 years into the future.Then I notice I can't fly anymore so I walk towards the window and try do get throw only I can't.So I open the window like I would in real life.I jump but I'm a bit scared so I grasp something with my left hand and stay like that until I decide theres nothing that can happen to me since I'm dreaming.When I look back from where I jumped I see this pig from cartoons and believe his my father and that he's trying to help me out because I can't fly anymore!!!
It was pretty frustrating...

Well last night I was trying to induce a WILD it was getting kind of intense and at one point a wierd sound from out my window made me kind of stop and look around. I kind of felt wierd so I did the reality check where you pinch your nose and try to breathe. It felt like I could breathe through my nose! So I thought cool Im LDing! For some reason (I guess I was really tired) I just didn't really pinch my nose hard enough... Yeah I was awake, pinching my nose, thinking I was lucid dreaming. That was sure a mood killer...

sorry about the double post
I've just noticed

I had sex with a wall.

once i had a dream where this hot woman came over then i relised this was an ld so i went over and asked her to do it in my dream then she pushed me out of a 50 story building and when i tryed to fly i couldnt then i landed on a hotdog stand with a rod through my chest for 10 minutes just laying there until i woke up o_o

I got brutally nailed by a female robot who I THOUGHT I could defeat easily. Man, I suck at manipulating DCs, and end up creating freakishly powerful ones that end up either killing OR torturing me.

I remember specifically one dream in where I attempted to fly for the first time. After I became lucid, I ran as fast as I could and jumped. I came up off the ground a couple feet and my face slammed against the gravel road that I was previously standing on, LOL. Needless to say, I have been reluctant to try and fly again ever since.

I have the biggest fail of all: I CAN'T LUCID DREAM YET. I'm a noob.

Don't worry if you keep trying I'm sure you'll your first lucid dream soon.Just be patient and think about dreams as often as you can.I for one don't rely on reality checks since I have never become lucid because them.I only had WILDs and a few DILDs in which all of a sudden I realized I was dreaming without having to do a reality check or something.In the last 5 weeks I had 14 lucid dreams though I'm a beginner.

Just believe in yourself and it will happen
Good luck

I noticed in my last 2 lucids that the dream characters only intention is to wake me up.In my last lucid I started floating and I realized that I was having a spontaneous OBE.But then my brother materialized in front of me and said something and I tried to get rid of him so I flew through the walls and ended up in my backyard but he and my mom were after me so I started yelling at them to leave me alone but they wouldn't....and then I woke up

I had a false awakening; I woke up from a nap I'd been having in my old house, in my old room in my old apartment. My exgirlfriend was there, and I said to her, 'Nooo, no no no. You see, I just went to sleep, I live in Anchorage, NOT Hawai'i, I moved like two years ago. What am I doing here? So I'm dreaming already?' 'Well, you must've flown here, right?' 'Yeah but I seriously was JUST in Anchorage. Being here in Hawai'i in the time it takes for one nap isn't even possible. I'm really concerned that I don't remember the plane ride here.' 'Well, there must be some way for you to test if you're dreaming, right? Like some tricks you do to make sure you're awake?' HERES WHERE I FAIL:

'Oh yeah, there are. Thanks for reminding me. I'll do the jam jar trick! Bring me a jar of jam!' She hands me one. I twist the lid off of the jar. 'See? The jar opened! This is proof that I'm not dreaming!' <---- WHAAAT?! This makes NO SENSE. 'Jam jar trick'? There is no 'jam jar trick'! I lost awareness after that.
