Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

flying on a plane down the motorway underneath all the bridges last night...

funny one i was having a sex dream with a girl i hooked up with once in real life. while we were going at it she stops looks deep into my eyes and says "where dreaming" "Yah right" i said then I woke up and was like dude wtf.... :(

Last night, I was doing a science experiment and typing stuff into a computer. I used three keys that were positioned on the front of a washing machine, and there was no screen anywhere.

Two nights ago, I had a dream which I should have realized was a dream for a few reasons. I was at my boyfriend's house. (He lives 2 states away and I only visit him every few months. He's in about half my dreams, so he's my best dream sign.) The dream involved a lot of rain, flooding outside about four feet high. The oddness should have made me do a reality check. Also, I've suspected water is another dream sign. Worst of all, I was having a conversation with my boyfriend's uncle about lucid dreaming. He began to tell me what a lucid dream was, saying "It's a dream where you know you're...". I became very angry that he thought I didn't know what a lucid dream was, and stood up, yelling "I know! I've been keeping a dream journal and have been trying to have them for the last 2 weeks!" (Then I ran outside and saved my boyfriend's puppy from the flooding water).

Also, a few days ago, I had a dream in which I told a teacher that I was trying to have lucid dreams. She pulled me aside into her office to question me further, because she was interested in the topic. This type of thing, dreaming about lucid dreaming content while not becoming lucid, has happened to me a few times.

my grandfather, a multi-millionaire, was taking pictures of himself smiling with a flower for facebook. then the camera turned into a golf cart. cant believe i missed that one

Well one part I remember I was under water and i thought OH NO Im drowning. Then I realized wait no Im breathing underwater!!!! That cant be real. too bad its not real and not a dream I wish it could be one of the two.

Last night I had a dream that I was watching a film about a guy who was lucid dreaming and I was saying to myself, why isn't he doing cooler stuff with his lucidity?
I also flew a few times in my dream because I was holding a special bat wing in one hand which gave my flying powers.

One from me during last night's epic...

I awoke in the night (real life) and checked the clock; since there was still time before I had to get up, I returned to sleep. Then I dreamed that it was time for me to get up, and I went downstairs but was confused by the clocks saying a different time to my bedroom clock. I didn't 'clock on' and recognise this common dream sign though.
I walked around my street to pass the time, and one of my neighbours spotted me. When he spoke to me he added an 'ish' to the end of my name.
When I did set off for the bus stop, I went the wrong way and found a street light that wasn't working, so I carried it back to my house and put it on the front garden. (!!)
When I did get to the bus stop, it was very busy and there was much snow on the ground. The bus was in fact not a bus, but a big van, and the driver was merely sitting on the roof as it moved along. We all had to climb on the back, but it set off before me and my friend could get on, so we chased after it. We were fast enough to keep up and run alongside it, so we thought: "Bah, let's run the rest of the way!"
What an adventure.

I have a fragment from last night, where I was standing in an upstairs bedroom in my family's house, but it was empty of furniture, and my brother was leaning against the window sill, looking outside. For some reason, that made me try holding my nose as a RC. As best as I can recall, I wasn't able to breathe, so I concluded I wasn't dreaming. I proceeded to have a conversation with my brother about his forgetting to buy his textbooks for this semester (he and I have both been out of college for years).

i had a dream about having a shared dream with RavenKnight and Dakotahnok and another person from around the forums. We were testing something like whos dreamscape were in or something. after a while i had a FA but Raven and Dakotahnok were still their, and we were comparing notes of the dream we just had. How did i not beomce lucid?:bang:

I got bit by a dog.... now this dog was on America's Funniest Home Videos, and was on the television

As well, during that very same segment, I was watching TV, and a commercial for How I Met Your Mother came on, while Barney was sitting on the couch next to me :p

I missed a chance a few weeks ago when I slept over at my friend's house.

There's a clock hanging on the wall right above where I was sleeping, and I could hear it in my dream. I kept wondering what the sound was, and eventually looked at my hand to do a reality check. My hand itself was very small, and I had very long fingers. Apparently this looked normal to me, because I continued doing whatever I was before the RC. Though I kept wondering why I could hear a clock.

I woke up and face palmed myself.

Ok I thought i would share mine too.I was in a dream in my grandpa's house with some random kid from my school and the school's bully :shock: and we were talking about lucid dreaming like we were friends or something and i told them some of my dreams and then the closet opened and my grandpa came out and said -Take 5 euros. WTF :eek: Oh i forgot to say that I finished school 2 years ago and the school bully finished school 4 years ago (luckily)

last night 5 of my dream signs in the same scene
face plant ;[

In my dream, I had snuck out of the house late at night and gone over to a nearby park. There I was trying to fall asleep outside on the ground, next to a river (that I had just swam across) because I thought I had heard that falling asleep outside next to running water helped you have a lucid dream :uhm:. But I never tried to do a RC. :doh:

Ultimately, I couldn't fall asleep (in the dream) because DC's kept walking by. I know they were trying to be quiet and not disturb me (they probably thought I was a homeless man, lol), but it still kept me awake. I was disappointed, and chalked it up to Murphy's Law that I happened to pick a night when something else was going on in the park. Eventually, I just decided to explore the park and see what was going on, because that seemed like more fun than trying to go to sleep and maybe LDing. :lol:

A few weeks ago i had a dream about an air plane crash. My family and friends were all on the plane and surrounding me as the dream started... After a few minutes dream time i looked down at my feet and realised i was wearing my favourite trainers, that id lost in real life a year back, i was dreaming! Just as i started the usual routine of calming myself and taking in the environment and my dream senses, the plane began to crash. A whole side of it ripped straight off, and my family fall straight out into the sky in super slow motion... i immediately got up (turning the world real time again) and jumped out the plane after them with a partial thought of being lucid in my head (for some reason i thought being lucid would mean i could save them, rather than the fact there JUST DCs). So almost as soon as i jumped out i woke up. Annoyed when i recalled what had happened to say the least.

Thinking bout it though, it was almost like the ultimate test of lucidity, to let go from any personal attachment i have in waking life. Sounds harsh i know, but i could've re-summoned my family if i wanted!!!

A few nights ago, in a dream, I was looking at something and I thought "This is very dream-like." Yet I didn't take the hint to become lucid.

Peoples ears were upside-down and I thougt this was normal, like WTF!! I had the opposite of this, I was really convinced that I was dreaming, because everything looked different and I couldn't feel my muscles walking while I was clearly walking (this is a good dream sign for me..) but after a few RC I knew I was awake....

Okay, so last night, for some reason, I started going to the bathroom in my mother's laundry basket. As if that wasn't strange enough, I noticed that the basket had holes in it and said aloud, "Why doesn't anything spill out?" I never went lucid, but just the fact that I noticed is a good sign for me.

Last night me and my dad were in a bar and he said to me weren't you supposed to lucidly dream tonight and I replied when I go to sleep. I woke up and I felt so stupid cause i'm not even old enough to go into a bar yet haha.

I once fell asleep telling myself "im lucid dreaming"so in the dream i was climbing down a mountian as if you walk down a regular street .And as i was at the base of the moutain i saw my mom smacking a random guy witha big fish and then she told me to "get her the cat to hit him with" (STILL i didnt even know i was dreaming) but once i gave her the cat i woke up

Had a dream where through the whole dream i was just wishing i could have a lucid dream. I wandered around wanting one while i was walking around shooting people in mw2 in the dream.

I was running and then floated off the ground. (This happens to me a lot and is a dream sign of mine but I missed it.) I panic and try to get back to the ground, when I can't do it me self I yell to some DC walking by to get the grappling gun to get me down NOW! I was so mad I was stuck up in the air. LOL

I woke up shortly after that and did the DUH :doh: head smack LOL

This is an awesome thread XD !!!!!

I was at a basketball game walking down the bleachers with a tray of snacks for me and my friends. I looked up at the scoreboard and decided to do an RC even though I KNEW I was awake. I looked at the score, it was 0 - 13, I looked away and looked back and it was like 43 - Q, AND IT DIDN"T MAKE ME LUCID! but even better, a few more seats down I saw a girl named Sloan from school, she waved and said hi and asked how I was. a few seconds later I thought "WAIT! Sloan is NOT NICE!!!!" and THAT made me lucid :cackle:
