Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

I was in a band with a few friends, And I was playing the guitar (Which I can't play in real life) , Not too good albeit. And the crowd was booing us. I ran up to the room where the rest of the band was playing and passed the guitar to a friend. He put down his Guitar Hero controller, and started playing on the real one. I begged Jimi Hendrix to sing for us, who was sitting next to my guitar playing friend (In a sort of voting panel thing). And he started to sing, And I started looking for a piano. I couldn't find one, so I made do with a pool table and started pressing around the sides. It wasn't too good with making music, but it made some good notes.

I still don't get the Guitar Hero thing though.

Jansch: I knew i hadn't really woken up because of two reasons:
1. I never fall asleep in a few minutes (let alone seconds), even if i've slept poorly the night before.
2. In the morning I woke up exactly as i had woken up in the dream and my surroundings and bed felt different, more real, more concrete. I don't know if that makes any sense to anyone, but i knew the difference the moment i had woken up. (My dreams have never felt 100% real:(, i've always been able to distinguish between my memories of dreams and actual awakenings in the morning.)

in my first dream in the period i am trying to learn lucid i was walking in the backyard of an old classmate of me. and since it was my first day trying to learn lucid dreaming i dreamt me saying: wow i must be dreaming!!! But didnt do anything was just dreaming further without lucidity:( stupid isn,t it?

i was so close!!

I got out of my bed in my dream, pinched my nose shut and could still breathe, so I thought to my self, I must be dreaming, though I still wasn't aware enough to be considered lucid.

I got out of the room and walked downstairs and into the kitchen. I looked around, and everything that was normally in my kitchen was out of order. The sink was in the wrong corner, the refrigerator was upside down, and the oven was hanging from the ceiling.

I then thought to myself, Wow, this looks exactly like my kitchen, I'm not dreaming at all! So I walked back upstairs and got back into bed, later waking up in great disappointment. :sad2:

i was listening to one of those lucid dream induction mp3's and in the dream me and a friend were listening to it trying to lucid dream..just played out like a normal dream..

also had a dream where a friend kept pinching me trying to tell me i was dreaming...spewing

Well after having another dream about Scrubs and playing some weird basket-ball with JD and some guys. I again didnt become Lucid (-_-)

I was at a shopping centre, and this cop had me as a prisoner. I ran out, and after gassing some people I escaped, and I was then in my nanna's yard. I went into her house and she greeted me. I said "This is a boring dream" and she was like "What are you talking about?" and I thought "Oh, I must've woken up". Huh?? :?

I was having a drink in a bar above some cliffs in Santa Cruz with some friends. I turn to my girlfriend and say "Man, this place seems so familiar, I feel like I designed this or something. I think I'm having deja-vu or something weird"

My girlfriend looks around and says, "Your right, this is way to close to the stuff you design. I remember you telling me about a place like this in one of your dreams"

And I reply, "You're right, I've definitely had a dream about this place"

IDIOT!

Last night I FA'd in my bed and started filling in my DJ, totally ignoring the fact that this girl from scholl and some other woman were alo in my room, having a chat.
Then I woke up...

lol mine was once when i had jump liek from a roof then i realiced i became lucid i aperd some one and became so exitet so i wake up

I was explaining to a friend how to become lucid, and was talking about looking to see if you have extra fingers on your hand. I was saying that if you see only 5 fingers you can sometimes summon a 6th if you still think you are dreaming. As I did this, I grew a 6th finger and then looked to my friend and said "yeah, just like that!" without becoming lucid

Well, I haven't had much success with lucid dreams :P, but there was one time where it could have worked, but it didn't :(.

Me and a bunch of other people were escaping from a mall for some reason. However, I had to drive because the other person was drunk, but only the person on the right could drive, which wasn't me. However, in my dream I managed to explain it with some really twisted logic, like its only when you're looking from the FRONT of the car! xD

Tonight, some DCs were talking about how they became lucid and the best ways not to become lucid. I wondered if I was dreaming but I only gave them one example... They looked at me as if I were crazy. I didn't think about it being a dream much more.

I dreamed I was trying to herd a bunch of cats out of my house but they just kept coming. I thought to myself..."this can't be real". I went over to my stove to read the name of it to see if I was dreaming but couldn't read the name of it. I told myself maybe the light was hitting the reflective surface wrong so I couldn't see it!

Was getting stabbed by a knife, grabed the bladed with my hand, and the knife was quickly withdrawn without cutting my hand. Stupid me thought "wow, that was close!"

This morning, after a failed WILD, I dreamt that I was a marble racing on a colourful racetrack. Yes, a marble. Interesting experience though.

*edit* wow, i just remember that I did a reamity check a few nights ago, I read a sign a few times and the tekst changed. I though "cool, this must me a dream" and just continued what I was doing...

Last night I was in a dream trying to choose which one of the 20ish cars parked in my lawn that I wanted to drive. Fairly obvious... The dream after that I was under a overpass with two friends and we found a plant that when eaten gives your hands shapeshifting powers... one of those 'wtf' moments.

When I first started getting into lucid dreaming I would tell a lot of people about it and how cool it was.

I had a dream one of those nights where I was explaining to my Mom how hard it was to lucid dream, and she just had to believe in it to do it. I then performed a reality test and showed her that this was not a dream right now (even though it was...).

That was so funny!

I realized I was dreaming while I was dreaming about Prison Break; however, the story was so exciting that I chose to keep "watching" it instead of doing lucid stuff, and I became unlucid.

The ending was disappointing anyway. I should have done something more interesting.

(I registered seconds ago, just for to post this, but I've been lurking on DV for months)

Looking at an old, brown decaying signpost that read: Dreaming, NOW! I just read it and through- Funny! I wonder who put that there!

Booted myself when i woke up.

A few nights ago I had this dream where I was traveling around with this caravan of LDers, and we were practicing our wandlore so we could turn on TVs telekinekely. :? I remember thinking the whole time, "Dang! I wish I was dreaming..."

It feels horrible for me when I lose my chance to have a lucid dream! It happened to me last night (again).

This time I actually tried to WILD in my dream. I feel so stupid.

mine was a couple of weeks ago now, I was standing on the side of the road with my car upside down and only half a cell phone (the front half and no battery) and emergency services was on the other end and they told me to get off the line for a real emergency, and i immediately made another call and my friend asked me why I wasn't dead.

That SHOULD have been a clue.... but I just used the cell phone anyway... lol

I once had a dream where I got lost and thought "Oh my god I might never see my family aga- wait... this is a dream!" And then my dream ended. Darn, almost had a chance to lucid.

LOL, i recently had one where I went in to a store to buy a car charger, and I thought to myself " I HAVE a car charger, why would I want another one" i went in to the store anyway :P I realised i was dreaming AND WOKE UP!!! :?

same things that happen in every dream as though it's normal: flying and sex.

i never ever ever recognize them.

can anyone link me to a thread where i can learn to recognize dreamsigns?

I think my dream signs may be familiar places/people. Last night I dreamt I was at home with some old friends, but since I'm in college now that would be impossible...

Last nigt i woke in my bed (i thought) and i heard noises downstairs so i thought perhaps i left the front door open and somebody has broken in. So i got up (crap i realise i have no weapon) opened my door and flicked the light switch (didn't work), i flicked the light switch in my bedroom (didn't work). I am really scared at this point because i think that the intruder has tripped the electric so i won't be able to see him so i crap myself. I then realise that my t.v is on so i think how can the intruder have tripped the electric if the t.v is on? I think perhaps he knows a way to do this (do a reality check you idiot!) so i then open my window and i am waiting to see if he comes up stairs because if he does i will jump out. I also recall i can't open my eyes like when you are really tired which doesn't help.

I wake up for real then i hear a noise (at this point i am pretty scared because i am thinking perhaps that was a warning dream so i get up and flick the light switch but this time it works, then i check the house but nobody is here.

If i was still doing reality checks i surely would have spotted this. I can't believe i didn't do a reality check!

I was watching this SNL skit with Christopher Walken. The one where the census taker is questioning him, and he's a street performer who lives with a bobcat. I wish I could find the link for it on Youtube.

I notice that the skit is filmed in black and white, and the camera work is all shakey like a handheld camera. I think to myself, " I don't remember this part, I guess this is the director commentary or something". Then the skit goes all crazy, and they show some behind the scenes prank where Walken brings in an Undead Baby Zombie Elephant to scare the crew.

I think, "Man, SNL has really gone downhill if they're reanimating dead baby elephants."

Dummy!

I blew my lucid the dream the minute I realized I was dreaming , I flew insanly high and fast that I almost instantly woke up from excitment, although , it was the first lucid dream I had so I didnt really know :P.

i was in a car and the radio said "Lucid FM" and then the car stopped and i looked at a sign that said "LUCID DREAM" and i though "wtf this is strange, ahwell i'll be home soon and be trying again for a lucid dream"

God I cant belive i missed that one, i lost all faith after that but then the next night I had a lucid anyway, strange world (Lucid and normal).

Last night... there's a chick with a dick and I STILL want to hump her.

Ewww.... how could I have NOT clued in??? I mean sure, her breasts were PERFECT but still... dude.. she had a package!

I'm still kicking myself over THAT one.

http://www.queermusicheritage.us/FEMALE/he-she1992.jpg

in my dream, i was reading a magazine article about lucid dreaming.

oh man, i'm stupid. recently, i've been experimenting with different forms of wild, and so i've been kind of unsure about the times of my rem cycles. so this morning i had a dream, where i was in a class or something, and the teacher was talking about ways to get into rem, and how to tell when you are. and i figured, well, if i'm in this class, then i must not be getting into rem sleep well, and thus not in a dream. ARGHGHGHGH

I've had many false results on reality tests, when in retrospect it should have been obvious I was dreaming. Maybe I'm making this up and stitching two or three dreams from long ago together, but I vaguely remember having a dream where I was driving a wire-frame car (with no freaking engine!) all by myself on a road (I have no license) and wondering if I was dreaming. I tried flying or some other typical dream activity and failed, and concluded I wasn't dreaming. At some point in this dream, I had carried this wire-frame car on my back - perhaps after I realized that I have no license and therefore shouldn't be driving. Hmm. Stupid much?

Even if that's a composite memory, I've made mistakes that dumb in reality tests.

Pfff, last night I missed about ALL of my currently known DS's.... (I fell asleep after reading this topic, so that might be the reason ;) )

This is the most stupid:
I speak to someone about dreaming and tell him: if you hold an open bottle of wine upside down and instead of the wine coming out of the bottle, it comes out of the cork (which I held in my other hand) THEN you know you are dreaming.
So, I open a bottle of wine, hold it upside down, but no wine came out, not from the bottle nor from the cork :P So I concluded it could not be a dream.

Last night i was going through a school day in my old school (which felt like a whole school day) and on the school bus on the way home i was looking at this girl at the front and i am thinking if only i were dreaming right now. She always seems to appear in my lucid dreams for some reason, i used to get on well with her but no emotional attachment or anything but she is really good looking so i am not complaining.

I really should have realised because i was thinking about how she is always in my lucids and i was thinking about what i would do if i were lucid, i feel i was so close. Damn!

Last night I was somehow able to conclude I was dreaming by looking at completely ordinary microphone cords, but didn't get suspicious when I saw 3 gallon bottles of Gatorade in a convenience store in another dream. WTF?

Right, I was in my school playground (I'm not at school anymore), and there's a big whirlwind growing bigger and bigger next to the gate. I don't know it's a dream yet, but then I turn around to walk away and bam, I knew it was a dream, but was does Jdeadevil do? What does he do? "Oh fuck this" and closes his eyes, opens them back up and he's staring at his coat hanger in his bedroom!

If anyone knows a way I can avoid doing stupid things like this, please tell me. But bare in mind that it's not that often I become lucid! I also have problems remembering the real dream controlling method, when I'm the dream ofcourse.

Sorry for swearing

I have done this a few times. I realise i am dreaming in a scary situation like getting chased by a killer or something so i opt to wake up, but once i wake up i wish i had stayed in the lucid.

I don't know if thats what you are talking about. :?

One dream should have been incredibly obvious to me:

- I arrived at work (with everybody else present) and noticed on the clock it was 1AM.
- There were people in my work office from college
- Before finding myself at work, I was in the school library in some party (library & party - WTF!?).

A library party. Cool. :D

The other day I ran into Tony Montana (scarface) and we were talking. We were talking about how I could be one of his main men, and we would do several operations together, heheh. Then he pulled out a gun and triede to shoot me but I had mine with me and killed him first. After that, people called the police and it was just me running from the police the rest of the dream... Can't believe I didn't become lucid.

Just last night i skipped first hour to sleep in because i was way stressed from a rigorous week, and i remember having a false awakening where my bro and a bunch of his friends all piled in my room and woke me up. All of them are at college so this was a rather obvious time to check my reality.

Last night i was in a bar in Spain explaining to these people what lucid dreaming was and there was lucid dreaming music on in the bar. :imslow:

It was on this like Construction Tree House thing, and this teacher from my school was asking me to do her a favour, but while we were talking, it was leaving time. So my friend (he was black and I don't know him) spun me round by my shoulder, so I looked round and outside, the construction workers were busy taking down the Construction Tree House Thing so we had to move quickly. When we were just outside the house entrance and there was only one path down which was extremely dangerous. I'll just explain what it was like, It was very thin so you could just about walk on it with two legs, Part of it was missing so we had to jump towards the house ledge and then away from the house and onto this piller. But at the very bottom of the piller, it could hardly fit on the path because it was right next to a hole and everytime someone jumped onto the piller it would move closer to the hole. I don't know if there was a slide after that or something silly and unrealistic.

Anyway, my 'friend' went first, and jumped across this obsticle and the piller was extremely close to the hole, so then I attemped to cross the obsticle. Looking at the bottom of the piller I knew I couldn't make it, so at the second my foot hits the piller I think "fuck it", closed my eyes and felt myself falling to the floor. I then opened my eyes quite comfortably in reality as if I was doing a Wild.

Therefore I missed my chance of lucidity. Lol, like it?

Out of nowhere, random lights started flashing around me. I just watched, thinking "This would be a pretty good lucid dream trigger!"

damn.

I win

Once I did the RC where you count your fingers, and I counted 6. I say out loud "huh, I must be dreaming, that's cool" then continue to wander aimlessly around my dream.

GAH!

Once, I was trying a tic-tac 270, something I have been trying to do for ages, and I thought to myself, " This would be so much easier is I was lucid."

I done something similar last night. I was talking to my brother about lucid dreaming and reality checks and as i was talking about rc's he started acting weird like he was trying to tell me i was dreaming so i say sorry but i have to do this so i count my fingers and i have 6 on both hands. :eek: I look ast my brother and i am sure he was smiling at me so i count them again and i have more than 5 again but i don't become lucid! :?

Another one last night was i am in my bedroom and i can hear someone outisde singing at the top of his voice YEH YEH YEH YEH YEH YEH YEH YEH YEH YEH YEH YEH YEH YEH YEH YEH YEH YEH YEH YEH. I think to myself this odd so i get up and look out of my window and imagine someone appearing but it doesn't work, i then wake up.

I have a few others aswell but can't recall them fully. It is concerning how often i am posting on this thread lately, i think it is time i bring bck the reality checks.

In one of my dreams i had to climb up a metal staircase, where every-so-often a ball of fire would suddenly burst through the wall, whilst carrying a baby with the rest of my family following behind me... (this is a non lucid dream btw)

Anyway, i could see in front of me fire start to errupt from the wall, so i say to my self randomly "its only a dream the fire cant hurt me!" So im about to walk into the errupting fire ball with only a baby and some random hope to protect me when my Dad shouts from behind me "ITS ONLY SMOKE, IT CANT HURT YOU"
So i walk through the fire which has become harmless smoke, turn to my Dad and shout a thanks, completly forgetting that I realised it was a dream - because walking through smoke disguised as fire, while holding a baby as protection, with my family waiting to see if i get burned is of course a normal thing!

Thanks alot Dad! (-_-)

In one of my dreams, a friend of mine was kind of drowning and I saw a girl running on water coming to rescue my friend. I was like:"WOW, how can she do it?!" LOL:roll:

i think the fact that most of these are ppl doing RCs in their dreams then not doing anything about it goes to show that RCs don't work for sum ppl. :?

Yeah - but did you ever actually THINK that you were dreaming during this time? Dreams of falling are common. If you can develop those into a dreamsign then you have a shot at it! That's why I used to encourage you to journal and look for things that recur.

You've been in your school in both of these, right? Or your schoolyard, anyway. That's a dreamsign for you. You should do an RC every time you enter or realize you are in your school yard.

I was helping my mother unload some groceries from her car after driving back from the supermarket. Suddenly I realized that I was still holding on to the shopping cart. I thought to myself, "how the hell did I fit this in the car for the drive home? Was I holding this on my lap the whole time?" I even asked my mother, who replied, "Just ditch it on the curb, I'm sure a bum will come get it".

255 posts is that? Or view, whatever it is, hoorey for hexidecimal snes game hex numbers!

Thought it needed to be said, sorry!

confused... but i like SNES games... so you diserve a cookie :)... anyway back on topic......

The stupidest way i missed becoming lucid so far.

I am playing cards with some people and i was losing but then i thought doesn't matter because i am dreaming so i used magic powers to cheat and somehow i didn't become lucid. :imslow:

Hehe LD master you must have given yourself a good kick after waking.

I dreampt I was with you all, the dv crowd and you all said I was dreaming but I wouldn't beleive you...:embarrassed:

Actually i laughed. (Couldn't believe i didn't become lucid).

I don't know whats worse, me not becoming lucid in my dream or you not becoming lucid in yours. :D

Hahahahh...exactly, well I'm sure they're equally frustrating as they're missed opportunities. Hopefull we'll be more aware the next time some situations like that come about and not be so unaware and passive.:P

Heh.. I just had sex with a girl, I chased here, but then she just gave up, and let me fuck her. (Been a long time.)

Felt animalistic. Hehe.. And I feel kind of bad for chasing her..

last night i asked my brother to show me his football trophies and as i was reading one of them which he was really proud of i tryed to read it but i couldn't. I was trying to read it for ages but it was so difficult (great my brother thinks i can't read) so in the end i took it off him and looked at it really closely and it read something like the best performance ever by man except for Kaka's against some team.

When i woke up i realised i that the reason i couldn't read it was because text changes in dreams! I am having aot of near lucids with my brother lately, it's like he is trying to make me lucid but i am too stupid too.

When i was around 4 or 5, i would do a reality check, to make sure I was OUT of my dream. The reason is that one time I had a dream, and I woke up in the dream. i got out of my bed, thinking my dream was over. Then something flew out from under my bed and I heard an evil laugh. It was the monsters who lived under my bed. When I woke up for real, I tossed a shoe under my bed. It didn't come back out which meant that I was safe.

But getting angry at myself because I didn't realize I was dreaming? It happens. But usually my dream isn't that iteresting to begin with. But is there was a hot chick I could of made out with, oh yeah I get pissed.

I had the most annoying FA this morning... I FA'd from a Lucid dream and my brother and sister were in my room... I started explaining my experience.. Then my sister was like "How do you know that you finished the dream?" I'm like what do you mean.. And shes like " wake up Jamal" and I really woke up. Dang FA's

I had a dream last night where I was back in Hawaii driving along the coastal road to my Father's house. I came around a blind turn at the point, and saw the road in front of me was all eroded away to rocks and sand. I tried to turn around, but there was no way to get back to the highway. I was so frustrated, I said to myself, "I wish this was a dream, I would just drive right into that beautiful pristine water and not have to deal with any of this."

But instead, I picked my car up above my head so it wouldn't get wet, and waded through the waves to where the road picked up again.

I had one where my wife and I were lounging on the beach. She gets up and dives into the water, tells me to come along. My exact words were, "If I dive in, I'll lose my lucidity!"

Not only was I not lucid, I didn't become lucid after that. Man, I detested myself when I woke up.

i once got accused of falling asleep in a restaurant.. to which i replied "oh sorry, i'm trying to have a lucid dream"... this came straight after i'd been lying in bed doing the whole "i will have a lucid dream..." thing

a similar sort of thing this morning.. again i was going to sleep doing that sort of MILD-esque thing.. then i had a dream i was filling a form out to join some kind of lucid dream club... hmm ¬_¬ :P

Once I was telling a friend at school about lucid dreaming, I was talking about reality checks as well.

Another time is when I was looking at my watch, then I looked up a clock, then back at my watch again. But I did not seem to mind that they were all never the same time rofl.

I am floating down the Amazon river with my sister and an indigenous guide who I'm pretty is stoned when somebody says something about how this scene reminds them of a movie called 'You Are Dreaming.' I pull out a hardcopy edition of Wikipedia and flip to the entry on it. 'You Are Dreaming' is scrawled at the top in bazillion-point font and I sort of gape at the header for a long time before just closing the book and reclining in the boat, like nothing out of the ordinary has occurred.

This is why I don't rely on DILDs.

I have several times become a Spartan Warrior (from Halo) and flown, shot fire from my hands, been a bird, found my dad's secret apartment under my school, hired a hooker that will not have sex just will do things with me and have ridden through the desert on a talking horse with my brother overtaking me on foot.


\\\\I think I win////

I actually had one where i failed the RC where you pinch your nose and for some reason i still couldn't bring my self to reality.:P

I had a dream where i was the vampire king building the vampire army to take over the world.
I jumped off a skyscraper and i didnt think anything of it because i was immortal

I had a dream last night where I was on vacation in an alternate dimension. My entire family was there, but they were all played by different characters and had slight disturbing changes. You know the type of scenario.

I was packing to go to the airport for my flight home. Next thing I know, I'm awake in bed, and I have to use the bathroom badly. I can't remember how I got home. I can't remember the drive to the airport, the flight home, the cab ride back to my house. It's all a blank.

I walk to the bathroom, and notice the clock says 1:6. I think, It must mean 1:36. I'll have to have that fixed. I then go pee in a giant fountain-urinal in my bathroom. I walk back into the room, and see my girlfriend in bed. I'm about to wake her up to ask her how the hell we got home, but I notice that our bedsheets have giant golden pyramids printed all over them. What the hell? We don't have sheets like that. Then I notice that I am not at all in my room. I still can't figure it out.

My girlfriend wakes up and explains to me that we never went to the airport because I couldn't get my stuff packed in time. We missed our flight, and we are still on vacation.

That explains everything. Dummy.

Last night i was in some kind of field trip with my school. We were in a farm or something like that. I go back to the bus because i forgot my jacket and i see some girl from my school. The bus starts moving, and i ask her: why are you going back? "Because my pencil doesnt work" I think about it for a few seconds.... "Oh, ok".

That dream was full of crazy things wich i thought about for one second and then completly forgot :S

I had something annoying happen a couple of nights ago again. I was thinking about doing a nose reality check in my dream. In the same dream I seemed to be thinking about alot of things in the dream.

Well,for no reason whatsoever I thought that I should do a Reality Check.I looked at my hands and they started melting.I thought:"Oh,this is kinda strange,I must be dreaming...".And then I decided to check one last time:P,and since my hands looked perfectly normal,I figured out it wasn't a dream after all.:roll::P
I hate when that happens.

I once said in my dreams something along the lines of:

"I need to have a lucid dream" or "I really should do a reality check"

It's kind of annoying that my dreamself is an idiot and is lazy.

In one dream, a bunch of my teeth fell out. Instead of thinking "Hey, this is a bit peculiar...I don't remember my teeth being gray and rotten", I just boiled them for fifteen minutes and stuck them back in.

I was in the car with my parents and passed a 'lucidity institute'. I told my parents "wouldn't it be cool if we stopped there?" -- I never did realize I was dreaming ! haha :laughhard:

Isn't it annoying when you miss one like that, like when i was given a pack of lucid crisps which were supposed to make me lucid when i eat them but i didn't become lucid, perhaps it was because i didn't eat them. :P

Lucid Crisps! I love it!
Perhaps someone would design a pack of them for your signature...

Recently, it's been my annoyed dream guide telling me I'm dreaming and me not getting me.

Your dream guide is even trying to help you and you still can't become lucid. :D

I bet your dream guide is p****d off with you.

I once didn't use logic in understanding that sisters cannot change into dogs.

Er, well unless they're hit by a truck.

This is just sort of a general question. Will your abillity to pick up on oddities improve over time, because right now i feel like i could be walking with Ronald Macdonald through a battlefield having a nice discussion about school without thinking twice about what was actually going on.

Yes it will get into the habit of questioning oddities in real life.

I realize im dream every dream and i get so excited it wakes me up and i can`t become lucid

i shutdown my computer and even pulled the cable. then computer automaticly started without any power source. i just thought:"that must be because that portable disk". silly me.

i was swimming and i dived below the surface of the water. I was breathing under water. I actually started wondering why i was breathing under water so what do i do? i go ask some DCs. :roll: they told me that it was possible as long as alot of water didnt get into your lungs. :(

Yes, with practice, your recognition skills will improve. But don't take that to mean you'll always recognise obvious dream signs. Even the best LDer misses most oddities and dream signs. So don't be discouraged if you miss something obvious. Skill improvement is all about increasing your odds, not achieving 100% success.

Funny topic!

One of my dreamsigns is my digital camera, that behaves very strange.

Yesterday I dreamt about taking pictures of an odd dream scene while telling myself:
"Yeah, it's great that the camera is working correctly, now I can take some pictures from my dream and show then in waking life!"

Too bad these pictures were not on the camera when I woke up ;)

last night i drempt i was a ghost and i did a sucsessful nose rc but i told myself that it only worked because i was dreaming i was a ghost.
'
i did not become lucid:(

haha. those sly dcs, they always know what to say to get you forgetting about your problem...

the other day i had a dream where i was being arrested by a female police officer for no reasosn. she was enjoying herself and as i kept asking her what i had done wrong i told her, " you know, if I was dreaming I could just fly away right now." and she laughed, and then i wished i was dreaming.

Last night I had a dream where a woman asked me to use my superpowers to make a head of garlic grow larger so she could roast it. I placed it in the palm of my hand and closed my fingers around it.

Confused about how I could accomplish this task, I then thought to myself, "how would I do this if I were dreaming?"

Lets see, once i had a dream that i had to give a speech on lucid dreaming at a school i had never seen. Before i gave the speech i wanted to grab some food so i drove to sonic. In the parking lot i saw a friend making a drug deal. His drug of choice in the dream... a blue matchbox hotwheel, I reasoned with myself that he must be a rare hotwheels collector :P

Haha. Of course, the obvious "You're dreaming! You're actually just dreaming right now!"

And the "Perform a reality check." That one's pretty bad as well. I have a lot of electrical problems in dreams too, which is a sign. Always miss it.

this thread could go on forever, as it probably should

last night i was in a public restroom and above the urinal was a do-it yourself shaving thingy, with cords and whatnot. I said to myself, "thats bizarre, maybe im dreaming...nah its too real"....and felt ashamed for doubting almighty reality...upon waking however i shook my fist at that dream

I was in a dream where I was telling something really important. In the middle of my sentence I awoke from the dream to be in my bed. Tired, I thought to myself, "Damn! That was important, I have to get back into the dream to finish telling them!" So I shut my eyes, and sure enough I slipped right back into the dream and finished the conversation, never realizing that I had just woken and up and should've become lucid.

I was shopping....so I took some clothes and for some reason, exited the store. I was in the middle of a crowded street. I really wanted to try on the new clothes and somehow it didn't occur to me that I could go back inside....so I thought:"Meh, it's no big deal if I change right here, it's a dream anyway." And I didn't become lucid.:?

I was arguing with my friends in dream, that it couldnt be a dream, becouse it is all so real. I was trying to convince them... And I managed to. .. Well and the result. I didnt have lucid.

I was playing my brother in fifa 08 and i was Newcastle. I was picking my team and i noticed i think it was the strikeforce was Daniels and Fredson, also May was in the team aswell. :? (who the f**k are they)

I was thinking for a while how strange this was but i dismissed it. Then later i was playing Smackdown and it wouldn't let me start, it kept saying i need a update which was annoying me, then i said to my brother this has never happened before. (thinking how strange this all was and nearly performed a reality check but dismissed it again :mad:)

IDIOT!

Last night I "woke up" in the middle of the night and went to the bathroom to get a drink of water and the light didn't work. So I stood there flicking the light switch stupidly for 10 seconds and "remembered" it burnt out.

I hate myself.

Hahahahaha JackSparrow that would be really annoying the following morning!!:(

In a dream last night I said something that I learned yesterday, and I said it in the situation that I was told to.. if ya get me?


I know that my Lucid Dream is coming close!!

Once in a dream I came across this guy teaching a class on lucid dreaming, and I participated in the class, and I still didn't become lucid. I didn't enjoy the class very much though.

Another time I was having a dream, mostly just a still scene of a road by a forest. Then I had a FA and I was like "Wow, I remember every detail of that dream, I'm going to become lucid soon!" Then I woke up....

Also, once I was in my house, except it was different, there was this huge, wide hallway at the back, and I was standing in it. I was thinking, "actually, my house is really pretty big, I wonder why I always think it's small?" Then I had a vision of what my house really looks like, and I'm like "oh yeah, this isn't what my house looks like in real life." And I didn't become lucid... :doh:

Last night i was in my old school with my brother and i was in science. I was standing around talking when a few different people offered me their coats. I recall one saying hey buddy do you fancy my coat smiling and i replied i wouldn't say no. Not long later i thought about how strange this all was and told the people in the class with me how strange it was that three people have given me their coats in one morning, what is it give me coat day or something. (everyone laughs)
Then my brother (who knows i am questioning whether it's a dream or not) walks from behind me and starts observing everything (he is questioning the state) and says are we really crawling? :wtf: which results in me p*****g myself laughing, and he also says there's nothing on the chalkboard even though we have been in a lesson all morning.

I am not taking the fact it could be a dream seriously which i realize so i do a serious examination of the scenario (i look everyone in the eye) but i don't realize i am dreaming (do a reality check you fool) and dismiss it.

I can't believe i missed this one, i even had a dream character trying to help me which never happens! :(

Oh, Marvo, next time you ring me when I'm in my dream, I'll pick up, wonder what it would be like if I picked it up in that dream!

That would officially be awesome and I reokon because he's a cool guy of dream views I could of gone lucid

I tried to WILD in my dream. As in, I was wandering about the dream world, doing my thing, and it was time for bed. So I thought, "Hey, I'll try to WILD." So I visualised where I wanted to go (New York City), what I wanted to do (fly), and how I was going to ask a random NY citizen about my dream name. I lay down, close my eyes, and wake up in real life. If my dream scene had switched to New York, I would've been lucid. D'oh!

amazing

Last week I had a dream that Bob Saggot lived in my garage and whenver I went in their to warm up my car he would hiss and throw percocet at me.

Duh.

Last night I had a dream I was at a movie theatre. The movie was starring STEPHEN LaBERGE and it was called "Dream Recall". I was excited about seeing the movie, but not once did I think to do a reality check... oy!:doh:

I was talking to her about lucid dreaming and she mentioned it to me I might be dreaming. So I plug my nose and try to breathe and I can! But I want to be absolutly sure, so I do it again and I can't breathe. "oh, must have had my nose plugged wrong or something." Then I go back to talking to her then wake up.

---

:oops:

I was in my living room, and I looked out the window to see that the outside was actually a location a couple miles away from where I live. I was like, "That's odd, when did the house move?" Then I feel rumbling under my feet, and I hear a rocket engine starting and the house lifting off the ground. "Oh, that's right, we have a rocket ship for a house." I said, and then I realized I was dreaming. I ran for the window and jumped at it, but then shifted to another place in my dream. I then lost lucidity. :bang:

Last night, I was inside my friend's house, which apparently was in the middle of an empty field in my dream. Then, I hear some people far away say they were going to fire cannonballs at the house, and I quickly pulled my friend inside as they launched it. I quickly patted him down, getting rid of the fire, and then went and watched his TV. I didn't become lucid. :pissed:

I dreamed again after that, and I was inside of my friend's house, which apparently had an indoors roller coaster. So, I went for a ride, and then when the ride ended I got off and walked down the hallway (geometry doesn't work here, obviously), and I fell down one of those traps that fall under your feet, and I looked up and saw my friend staring at me. I was saying, "It's okay, my aren't completely broken." No, I didn't become lucid. :laughhard:

I have the weirdest of dream, yet I STILL don't become lucid.

there was another one where i put on these shoes to go to work, and when i got there they changed into these ungly greenish brownish boots that went up to my knees. I thought that i just didnt notice and that they were like that when i put them on.

There was another one when my little bro came into my room ( he never does that) and started trying to annoy me by breaking these little glass containers that had fish in them. (the only fish i have in my room are in a giant aquarium)

another one was when i went to hawaii and by strange councidence to different friends were there too. Somehow the place looked like my school, and the whole place started to fill up with water. i didnt think this was weired either :(

---

Fish? Wow... I've heard that when you dream of fish, someone you know si pregnant XD

I passed off reality checking, because I'm 17, but entered a club that required you to be 21. There was a security guard, and everything, but it didn't phase me at all. Bad luck, I 'spose.

Last night I dreamed I was at some sort of summer camp with my brother. We were driving around on a bus and the counselor people were letting my brother drive the bus. He's 11. So I said to them, "Um, I really don't think you should be letting him drive. He's only 11 years old!" They said, "OK, you drive then." I'm 13. :?

There was a weird shaped ghost. I took this as normal, and walked off.

I was surfing the internet and I found a webpage offering lucid classes.

Another time in my dream, me and a freind were storming this industrial complex; (Weird, but if I became lucid because of my weird dreams I would be lucid every night;) and after capping a few dozen people with my assault rifle, I checked the clip and it was still full of bullets! But I decided that this gun must put new bullets in the cartriges and put them back into the clip after you fire them, so I didn't become lucid.

I seem to have alot of dreams where I just keep ignoring all the signs around me that SHOULD make me realize i'm dreaming. Oh well, I guess I shouldn't beat myself up over it too much since I've just begun the whole process of mastering lucidity :D


Anyway. The most annoying dream would be the one where I was being tortured.. I was put through all kinds of weird stuff. Like being strapped to a bench and having a huge plank with needles lowered down on me.

Throughout this whole dream I wasn't afraid at all. I felt pain from the torture, but I kept telling myself "Meh, this is obviously a dream. Sure, it stings a bit, but it won't hurt me"... I mean seriously. I could've ended it RIGHT there. But I went along for the ride anyway :(



EDIT: Actually now that I think of it, I DIDN'T feel pain. I only felt a sort of pressure, from the needles and stuff as they poked at me. I guess that's what made me think it was a dream.

I once had a dream in which a human-sized squirrel was shopping in the supermarket. "She" and I ended up getting into an argument at the checkout lane. The only part of the incident that I thought was odd was how mad she was getting at me...:?

I had a dream that I woke up and my friend from school was standing beside my bed with a lunch tray, and the next second I was standing beside him with a tray saying "I'm sorry we don't have as many seats as the cafe" :?

Oh my GOD! Last night I had a dream I was at work and I started staring at this red sticky pad. I say to myself in the dream "I'm going to start doing a reality check whenever I look at the red sticky pad". ... It would have been nice actually doing a reality check THEN !!!:doh:

I did a classic last night.

My friend offered me a cigarette, so I said, "OK, but I might not finish it, I don't have long to dream."

Not lucid!

:o

So I have been meaning to ask my classmate if he has Lucid Dreams because he mentioned it a long time ago, I ended up asking him, IN MY DREAM!

Nothing else, I have missed things like people morphing.

I actually had a dream where a teacher was showing us how to LD.
o_o
And I was getting it, partly that is.
And yet, I STILL didn't realize I was dreaming..o_o

Oh jeez, like, EVERY dream I've ever had?

Just a few days ago I had a dream that I failed ALL my finals and then proceeded to get drunk and stoned because I was so upset. Then I kidnapped all of my friends and drove around in a bus that had two seats and crashed it. We died, but don't worry, I rewound time.

Then I was a forty year old man trying to escape the sewers with my pregnant wife by building a boat from old planks of wood. Big waves of sludge were crashing down on us and I remember seeing my wrinkled and weathered face reflected in the dirty water and feeling overwhelmingly depressed.

And finally, I turned into a balloon animal that was being hunted down by poachers. They caught me in one of those bouncy blow-up playhouses that little kids have at their birthday parties. I lived there. It was nice.

Then I woke up, and though, "WHAT THE HECK?? HOW DID I NOT GET THAT I WAS DREAMING??"

I was at a "lucid dream sleepover" with a bunch of friends, and i was in fact lucid, but when i woke up, (false awakening) i was in the lucid dreaming sleep over and we all talked about our lucid dreams, but really i was still in the dream! i was mad when i woke up that i missed a possible extension of my lucid dream.

I ignore blatant violations of physical laws, the fact that I sometimes have superpowers, and that I end up in bizarre situations which given a monent's thought, would make it apparent that it wasn't real.

I don't know about you guys, but I don't tend to fly, open doors telekinetically, heal people, stop/slow time, or run up walls in reality. :embarrassed:

Oh, and I'm apparently so good at driving that I can literally do it in my sleep ... just not whilst awake (yet).

I've never bothered with reality checking or dreamsigns, yet, and still have a good deal of lucid dreams. The lucidity just comes at completely random times for no apparent reasons. I'll be breathing underwater, floating around on push-brooms, or turning trash cans into nuclear bombs and not realize I'm dreaming. Then I'll be in the middle of a hand of poker in a completely normal situation and realize I'm dreaming.

Last night i was watching a football (soccer) match and one team went 3 nil up, only for the other team to score 15 times (15-3)

How did i not find this strange?

Before when i was doing my reality checks i would have spotted that for sure.

Last night i was in my old house and i was given a crisps multipack and i remember thinking there are new flavours. I then noticed one flavour was lucid dream which made me laugh, i thought this reminds me of that dream i had where i was given a pack of lucid crisps, i thought can't believe i missed that. If there is a good time to do a reality check this is it (but i didn't)

I can't believe i didn't do a reality check, how could i think it was normal to have a flavour called lucid dreaming?! And i was laughing that i missed becoming lucid in that dream i had before and here i was missing this one.

I was trying to WILD one day out on my couch and I was going through SP so I decided to open my dream eyes and I saw the alarmclock in my room and thought that I had opened my real eyes so I closed them and fell asleep. The funny thing is was I forgot where I was and didn't relize I wasn't even in my room.

I had another dream where I was teaching my cats to ld:? the whole time I was teaching I didn't think it was weird that I was talking to a cat:lolxtreme:

Once I was asleep and there was a club I was signing people up for called the 'Lucid Club'.... lol...

You win, hands down :)

Last night I had a dream I was watching a movie about dreams. A girl was outside in her backyard at around midnight. Suddenly, all of these ferocious monsters appeared and started to surround her. I said out loud to the girl "You're dreaming! Do a reality check!" I kept repeated this over and over again. It would have been nice if I remembered to do a reality check !!:pissed:

Last night I had a dream that I woke up at my work, which is closed until monday, and I was all "wtf, how did I get here?" I wandered out onto the street and I thought "Wait, I must be dreaming." I attempted a finger-thru-the-palm RC, but even as I did it I was looking around thinking, "No, this street is way too bright and detailed, I'm really here," and the the RC failed :P

Later my pants even disappeared and then reappeared as I was walking down the street, but I had no chance of becoming lucid by then. I also had a fever last night, which may have contributed to the realism that fooled me.

Haha @ Taosaur's disappearing pants.

I had a dream where the Joker from Batman was trying to get me to beat up Superman by using my dream powers. He tried to convince me I was dreaming but for some idiotic reason I was sure I wasn't. The result? I missed out on what could have been one hell of a super lucid dream.

:imslow:

i didn't fail to go lucid but i lost the dream because of something stupid. i am driving when i gained awareness and i look around, run a stopsign, and say to myself:
"this is dangerous, i shouldn't drive while asleep"
i woke up right afterward, pissed at myself. it seems like my dream self is brain damaged or something

1. My teacher came into class wearing an orange suit with blue dots on it
and 2. (this is the REAAAAAAAAALLY stupid one that I missed) I was in the middle of english class, and a DC kept yelling at me "YOU'RE DREAMING!!! YOU'RE DREAMING!!! DO A REALITY CHECK!!!"
All I did was just kept ignoring him and telling him "I'm not dreaming..."
After a while he got really annoying so I said that I'll do a reality check. I looked at the clock, looked away, looked at it again. It went from 1:56 to 8:C9. All I did was turn back and continue with the class. I could of sworn I heard a voice in the back of my head saying 'you fucking idiot'

EDIT: oh yeah, and In the first part of one of my dreams I was a cartoon character, and then I got in trouble for turning back time using my cell phone.

I saw a girl I know walking around topless, which has never happened, and made no sense. And again, the whole superpower thing. And seeing fictional characters.

Damnation.

*points and laughs at us all*

Well aren't we the brightest bunch.
;)

I dreamt about this old dude (60+) sledding down a hill in a bathrobe.
Didn't get lucid.

Just last night I awoke from a hazy dream, and thought I should write it in my DJ. But, I was tired and figured I would do it in a bit.

I must have lost conciousness at this point. I was still in my bed and very tired, but I convinced myself I should really write that down before I forget. So I grabbed my little notepad and pencil, and looked at the first page, which should always be blank. (I use a pad and tear off the pages whenever I use them, so all pages are empty).
However, the first page has this written on it...ABDCDACBDBADBDCBDCDB all over it, and a little of it on the back. I was confused, what was going on? I turned a few pages and my entire journal was written in this notepad! I was annoyed so I layed back down, and woke for real soon after.

Ack! I'm still fairly new to RC'ing so I didn't think of it. One thousand curses!

I had a dream this girl said "Wow, you know about lucid dreaming too?" And was like yeah, we should meet up sometime. :(

Sigh. I felt like slapping myself as I was writing in my DJ earlier.

I was having this dream where I was actually being a sort of "Dream guide" Giving a class of highschool kids a tour inside a dream. We were walking around this weird town and I was pointing at people saying "And over there we've got a dream character." etc.

At the end of a tour we all entered this big elevator that would take us back to waking life, and I was answering questions the kids had about the dream. Sadly I don't remember the conversations.

When the elevator stopped I woke up

:doh:

EDIT: One funny thing was that my cellphone was beeping every now and then. I picked it up and said "Damn, battery must be low". When I woke up my cellphone was actually beeping because of the battery needing a recharge

I'm in France. Alone. Then loads of people come and start speaking German, but with shoddy accents.
---------------------------------------------------------
WTF!? That's the worst time I ever missed becoming lucid. Then there was this other dream, where I had to stop Beetlejuice (movie character) from destroying my house, but I could change shape and change other people's shapes by thinking about it. I missed that chance too. I want to slap myself right now.

LOL last night in my dream i told my brother what lucid dreaming was and he tried it out and i watched him become lusid and he turned into a dog and floated up into the air, yet i didnt become lusid lol...oh well

wow, that must of been a slap in the face

This one time Hannibal Lecter was teaching me how to lucid dream, and we were really good friends. And I didnt become lucid.

Another Time I was CJ from GTA San Andreas, and I was flying a plane then I jumped out and killed myself (which I do in real life sometimes when Im bored), But then I just became some energy flying the plane and I flew up as high as i could then nosedived towards the ground cos somehow I knew that the rush felt real good. Didnt become lucid either time :doh:

I had all the characters from bewitched sitting around my dining table in my house

I saw a man falling down a mountainside. I thought to myself "wow, that's just the sort of stuff that sometimes happen to me in my dreams!

Didn't become lucid.

embarassing but it must be said-

i had a long clear dream about being at work. dream signs left and right being missed. but the worst part is, after walking into this bathroom that looks nothing like the chilis bathroom where i work, i started pissing in a urinal, and the hole inside the urinal was lighting up like there was a bright light coming out of it. i looked at it and thought "wow thats strange. im gonna do a reality ch-" right then i woke up from pissing myself in real life. something i havnt done since childhood

I have another.

People were falling from trees and I was teaching them how to fall slowly, so they didn't get hurt. Basically you had to flap your arms and it compacted the air around you, causing you to fall slower. Then I thought "it's weird things like this that I need to reality check about" and didn't bother do to a reality check. /facepalm

Being in WWII shooting Germans doesent seem to do it

i wanted a gun and a gun fell from the sky... in dream i was like "hm.. must have fell of that roof" and went on...

looked at a date on a coin looked back date had change but someone in dream said i looked at it wrong so i accept it

I just had two really stupid ones recently.

A couple nights ago, I had a dream where I was woken up by an alarm clock and started getting ready for class, and as I turned on my laptop, all the text was "unreadable," and instead of thinking of doing a RC, I just thought my laptop was hacked!

And then just last night I had a dream where I was about 50% lucid but I lost it somehow. Basically, I was walking along a boardwalk when I started seeing all these cartoon characters from my childhood, but adapted somewhat for real life (sort of like one of those really big costumes you might see in a amusement park, but not exactly). I started getting the feeling like something wasn't quite right, and I was RIGHT on the border of being fully lucid, but the dream shifted and I ended up surfing with my friends. e.e

Last night i used a stick of chewing gum to unlock my back door.

Enough said.

Last night my friend was sitting on a bed doing reality checks (staring at his hands and counting fingers, and he doesn't like lucid dreaming) then i thought have never done a reality check before while seeing someone else do one so i decided to. I put the light on and counted my fingers numerous times but i had 5 fingers every time. (probably because it wasn't a serious reality check, just because he was doing one)

I really should have got this one.

I've only started 5 nights ago but 2 nights ago I came SO CLOSE. I figured out I was dreaming, but I got so excited I woke up.

Then you were lucid. :roll:

Last night I had a dream that I was in the 60's watching JFK getting shot by Jimi Hendrix and Lee Harvey Oswald, And there was a bright yellow sky. Not to mention people with signs that read FREE HAT until I reread it and it said BOW CHICKA BOW WOW! Then A Hippie told me I must be tripping a little too hard and said I misread it. If I remember he said, "whoa, little freedom fighter, you must be like totally baked, take a chill pill."

Last night i dreamt i was in my house and there was a relative sitting on the couch and he started saying to himself "is this a dream?" and i thought he was just mocking me because i do reality checks so i don't do a reality check and then seconds later a voice on the t.v says the same thing.

I thought to myself thats really strange but i didn't question my state.

lol thats pretty funny

I woke up and i could really remember the dream i just had. So i started thinking about it again, and almost instantly my body started twitching and my eyes and my leg was sliding against the sheets for some reason.

But like im so good at, i move and open my eyes and it wears off. Weird thing for at least 4 or 5 minutes i felt this drugged feeling like if i closed my eyes for even a second i would instantly fall asleep.

Seems like i always get so close to it but i move or open my eyes, guess I have this fear of whats going to happen after it.

:shock: :shock: :shock: CRAZINESS :shock: :shock: :shock:

:banana:

I walked through walls...flew...turned invisible....all while UN LUCID

>:[

A human DC jumped into the air, turned into a flying harpy, looked at me and said: "This is a dream !."

It couldn't be more obvious...and ofc, I missed it...

The stupidest way I've missed becoming lucid was when I was in my house, and someone had come to my door to see me at 2:00 AM in the morning (in my dream.) Since it was so dark, I tried to turn on the lights, and they didn't work of course. Then, instead of realizing i was in a dream, or at least doing an RC, I just assumed it was a power outage. Damn stupid.

I had a dream where i had gone to bed using the VILD method. then during my dream, i thought someone was going to say 'reality check'. and of course, i missed that orpportunity.

it doesn't get stupider then that.

Drinking poison with my grandma doesn't seem to do it for me.

I was visiting my friends house and he told me to greet his mom. I looked at my watch to know whether to say good-day afternoon or evening. But i didn't have my watch on.
"Damn", i said, "I could have become lucid.
I didn't :(

I had three dreams last night. One where blobs were attacking me, one where I was fighting a giant chicken, and one where I was flying around in Costco. I didn't become lucid in any of these.

(In the Costco one, I became lucid for about 10 seconds, then got distracted.)

one of my dreams i was in a garden when a kid riding a bull shot up through the flowers and started shooting at me. didnt become lucid---one of those wtf dreams----

This was a long time ago, but I remember first entering the dream it was daylight outside and I saw a sign or something about lucid dreams and I thought to myself, i forgot to perform a reality check in my dream last night. When I woke up I wanted to kick myself.

I few nights ago, I had, not only multiple piercings in my ears, but gaping hole-puncher holes. Now, I don't have a single piercing on my body. I did find it strange, and IRL I would never get a piercing. Such a wasted opportunity.

Last night I did a nose reality check and completely ignored it. The dream faded away a few seconds later.

Once i woke up I knew I had to post this in this thread.

I spent my non lucid last night explaining what lucid dreaming was to a DC, but decided to skip explaining and giving a tuturial on reality checking. If I only showed him my reality check .... ARGH!

I had a dream that I was standing on a ledge on the side of a building and along the ledge were four windows. They were all open, and a women was inside the building, she told me that if I came inside I could have a lucid dream, but every time I tried to clime in she would close the window on me and would always just beat me to next one.
When I woke up I kicked myself because I was already lucid, I just hadn't realized it!

I was having a dream that I was in class and I did a nose reality check. For some reason it didn't work, but my dream self kept saying "but this seems so much like a dream" but I didn't want to risk anything being in class and all.
Stupid dream self

I was going from LD to LD with short pauses inbetween where I was just kinda aware but relaxed in the dark... each LD introduced a difference scene with plot elements and DC's carried over from the previous LD's.. some of the scenes I got involved in, others didn't look so interesting so I'd just close my dream eyes and go back to relaxing in the dark, finally opening my eyes in bed, getting up, doing my rounds and going back to bed.

Yep.. I never really did my rounds. Stupid false awakening. I didn't even see it coming, and I know better!

Something happened and i said "Dont worry this is just a dream" :P

I had a dream where i was flapping my arms like a bird to get ontop of a building so me and my mates could break in. My friends didnt know how to get up so i told them just flap ya arms realy fast :P


One time i walked into my bedroom and my teddybear was sitting on my bed, i said to him "oh hallo harry" and the bear replied "im going to kill you" the bear had a tail and on the tip of it it was glowing blue and he was aiming it at me with a real evil look on his face.

i was talking to a floating fish that was trying to kill my dog... lmao... and then persuaded it to help my find my way out.

Lol, i had a dream where me and a classmate (a lion?) snuck aboard a train, where all these dark cloacked ppl went in. the train suddenly changed into a plane and we all recived 1 watergun.
The plane landed and turned into a train again. we were in Dreamland which looked like it was going through a war. of course the waterguns became useable since it was in dreamland. i never really noticed it was a dream :oops:

Just the fact that I had super powers in a dream then commenting that I'd rather have the powers shown in the film "Jumper" -.-

i had breasts :shock:

Either I can read in dreams or I am really stupid.

I was at the end of a dream involving a j-rock band, chris tucker, a musical, a doorman, and a giant sandbox that was supposed to be a lake. Me and my friend were being taught English (we're American -_-*) by this Japanese lady, and everytime she told us to say apple we'd say the japanese word 'ringo'. There was a textbook in front of us. I looked at it and saw one thing. I turned and look back and it was a totally different page. I thought, "Hnn, who changed my book when I wasn't looking?"

-_-*

I was sitting around a table in my backyard with a few of my friends and my dad. We were all taking bong loads and passing it around watching a Jimi Hendrix video. My friend asks my dad if he wants a load, and my dad says yes. This didn't seem strange to me even though my dad is a cop and I would never smoke around him, and he would never smoke. I was kicking myself for not recognizing the signs when I woke up.

I'm assuming you're a guy?
And did you get distracted by said breasts?

I had one just last night where I turned invisible... but I thought it was normal because a scientist gave me an invisible balloon. Weird, I know, lol.

I was typing on my laptop (in a dream) when I commented: "hmm, I'm typing properly; can never usually do that in a dream."

Well, you can guess whether I took that hint or not -.-

(p.s. I've finally hit my 300 mark o.o)

I dreamt, that i was talking with a upperclassman about lucid dreams, and asked what his flying style was like. (I thought i was real smart, couse i suspected it to be a dream, and if he flew, it would be a good RC.) He just said "like this" and bent down in his knees, and as he set off, a voice in my head said "of course he's not gonna fly", and it just ended like a jump. Then he said " heh... of course i can't fly irl, but i can show you my ultimate death punch, i use on DC's, it's called "Beehive Honey Well"" and as he said that, he summoned a cow and a bucket, filled the bucket with milk, the summend a beehive, and tossed it down the bucket, and then tossed the bucket, as the killing projectile. I felt SOOO stupid when i woke up. :s

Last night, I was having a dream that I was in a classroom at school and we were all having a conversation about lucid dreaming. I was with my friend and the teacher asked us all to say something about our lucid experiences. I didn't really know what to say, I explained something about my lucid experiences but I forget what I said now.

Then I thought about doing a reality check to show the class what to do if you're in a dream, but I changed my mind, doh!

Then later on I was at home telling my mum how all the class knew about lucid dreaming and that they all did it.

I was so annoyed I missed becoming lucid!

i think Ld's r great fun :banana: i only had 1 lol

I remember that I saw my friend (in a dream) in Pennsylvania, but I live in California. My friend had not seen me, so the first thing i thought was that when I get back home, Im going to tell her I had seen her.
Later on in my dream, I was in a pool, and the friend I had seen before happened to be there too. Somehow I realized that the time I had seen her before was a dream, and I thought I had already woken up. So I told her "Guess what? In my dream last night, I saw you, but you didnt see me!" (This was in my dream) So basically I had a dream in a dream. I feel so stupid for not realizing that I was dreaming.

I once tried to WILD in a bus stop. In the same dream I did a nose reality check and i could breathe but all I thought was: Wow, that's cool. In this same dream I was female and I still didn't notice. In fact it's all right here. http://www.dreamviews.com/community/showthread.php?t=53801

plug pwns you all

All my dreams because they are generally wicked sick and just awfully unnormal. This night I dreamt that I was a bomb which was to be shot to Iraq at extremely rapid speed, but I kept worrying that the acceleration would destroy me.

I remember, the other night, I was having a dream. A little girl came up to me. I asked her "Did you know that this could be a dream?" She said "Yes". I said "I can fly right now, but since it's not a dream I can't."
