Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

I had a very big one recently. I saw myself in a classroom type place, and I heard someone across the room mention something about consciousness. I immediately became interested, and what followed was a full-out discussion about lucid dreaming without me even realising it was a dream. Then after that, someone put on some music and then madly slid over and back under a table in rapid succession many times.

I play First-Person Shooter games...And when I am trying to WILD, Soldiers shot me so I can't WILD...(But I am already in a dream and can't figure it out....)The only thing I would have to do is to do a Reality Check...

I don't question anything in my dreams. My first normal-length lucid dream was induced when my father asked me if I was dreaming. Where's the independence in that?

Last one i had a dream about some douchebag at my school, and he was hanging out with me.

Then i woke up and i realized, wait WTF - I don't even personally know this kid lol

also there was a time my dad was driving us home from a long trip, i had a 5 hour sleep and i fell asleep in car. I saw tiger woods and he was playing mini golf (FAIL) and he bet me 5 bux i couldnt get a hole in 1, for the price of $2.50. i missed the first shot, then my mom came over, gave him 7.50, and threw 3 balls into the hole (holy crap) and won me 15 bucks. then i yelled "Yay mom!" just as i woke up, and my dad was like "what?"
and i said "hauaaa....wasss i dreeeming?"

i felt like an idiot.

Okay this is RIDICULOUS. So today, I set the alarm to 6 in the morning. I wake up, wash, eat breakfast, and zonk out again. I hear an alarm again. Look at the time. Wtf? 6 o'clock. Oh well, false awakening, I think. I go out of bed. Go to the washroom, wash my face, eat another (unsatisfying) breakfast, and then pass out AGAIN. Now guess what happened? I hear an alarm bell once more. I look at the time. 6 o
clock. What THE hell? I check my hands. Five fingers. Then, I pinch my nose. Can't breathe. Dang!
Shoulda reality checked when I had the chance. -_-

I was a DEA agent in a dream and raided a house, found some baggies of weed and one baggie of what looked like chives and smelled like chives. I was like "what the...? this isnt drugs... these are chives... *thinks*... looks around and everyone being arrested around me had stopped and was staring at me silent (as if waiting for my next command or for me to realize it was a dream!) ...*thinks more... looks at chives* chives arent drugs.. this is strange... OH I KNOW! I GOTTA GO PUT THIS BAGGIE OF WEED IN MY SHOE FOR LATER!"
*wakes up*
my first thought upon waking was *FACEPALM*

LoL atleast you didnt work whole day to realise at the end of the day...DANG I am dreaming...lol
(Happened to me once)

Ok, once I while in a dream I saw a movie named "Dragon Wars" which I I didn't recognize and realized that it was a dream. At that moment I had complete control and was Lucid then my alarm clock rings and with fear I realize I am not waking up. I become afraid that I miss my college class and try to force myself awake. I then find myself in bed but still asleep so I try again to wake up. This time I am successful and wake up only to discover that my alarm clock is not on, and horror sets in as I realize I on summer break!!!!! I don't have classes yet!!!!

I became lucid last week and began to slip out of it almost immediately. I told myself out loud, "don't forget that you're dreaming!" ...I lost lucidity anyways.

This happened twice in the same dream, and I didn't stay lucid for more than a few seconds each time.

Not necessarily missing lucidity, but it was definitely annoying once I woke up.

In my dream last night I found Steve Carrell... he took me outside and told me when this guy on a tractor was going to die.
Yeah, like that's normal.

It actually happened last night. Every class from the DV Academy were on "dream teams" and were competing on who could become lucid first. I was really disappointed too because I couldn't join a class because I haven't been a member for 2 weeks yet. -_____-
I also had one a couple weeks ago when the radio played this song about dreaming and a dc started singing along.

Forgot to post this a while ago - I was levitating a plastic grocery bag with my mind, right in front of my face.

A few weeks ago I had a dream where I was camping with Stephen LaBerge. When I saw him coming out of his tent I decided to do an RC in front of him, to show him that I was learning to lucid dream. I pinched my nose and quickly tried to breathe. I'm pretty sure I did it too quickly, because I didn't even notice if I could breathe or not. LaBerge didn't understand what I was doing. He looked at me strangely, and said, "I don't know what that was, but I don't think it worked."

LOL OMG That's a good one!!!

Just woke up from a nap. My dream was that I was chilling in my house, and suddenly I hear police yelling for me to come outside. I come out, and they are looking for some kind of file. They tell me to look on my computer, and so I go inside and get on it. I search like... the entire drive for the file, and never find it. I probably would have became lucid except for the fact that nothing on the computer's screen was out of place. So in my dream I was just like, "God damn it!" and woke up.

I proceeded to get some breakfast, and suddenly realized how close I was to lucidity. Awesome...

My mind's a cunning one, I'll give it that. It uses the fact that I was a gullible child against me, and it works everytime.

When I was a kid I had harsh back pains for a few weeks. I told my mum about it at around the time my dad was run over and broke his back, and my mum kept saying it was sympathy pains. As much as I'd have liked to go to the doctors, in my head I'd keep telling myself "it's just sympathy pains". Now, over 12 years after, when something ridiculous happens in my dreams someone will come along and remind me "it's just sympathy pains".

Hurricanes in the middle of England? Sympathy pains. Hands have turned into squids? Sympathy pains. Both of your legs have been ripped from their sockets by a 50 foot baby? Sympathy pains.... Yeah, thanks mum

The reason you missed the lucid dream? Sympathy pains, of course! Sorry, I just find that hilarious.

I totally agree LOL

Last night my grandfather drove us off a cliff in a car. The whole time I was just like, "WHEEEE!'"

Last night I dreamt I was feeding my bra to an owl and I did not think that was weird at all.

Your laughter hurts me.... And it isn't sympathy :p

The only reason I don't add it to my list of recurring dream signs it's just so darned silly. I hoped I'd grow out of it. It's like my subconscious has become that bully from school who has a little bit of dirt on you and clings to it to use as ammo. "Hey stupid brains...sympathy pains! *giggle*"

Haha, these are all great XD

I had a dream I was in my chorus classroom and for some reason whenever I sat down it was like a spring and I shot up and hit the ceiling and floated slowly back down. You'd think this would cause me to wonder about gravity, but I just kept doing it because it was fun. Figures.

I had another dream where I was looking at the clock and the time was melting...nope, that appeared perfectly normal to me.

Even that time I had a dream that I morphed into a green dragon while flying through my school, and having Professor Snape as my bible teacher while various school authorities were trying to shoot me down didn't trigger a LD... I've got a lot of work cut out for me >_>

I had a dream where i went on a field trip just to go to a water park during school and on the way back there was a giant rip(portal) in the sky with all sorts of colors in it. I didn't think this way strange although I was kind of worried and closed my eyes and teleported home. I didn't think this was strange either. lol
