Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

No, the point was that I've seen that avatar before, but the join date and post count didn't match up.

The stupidest way I've missed it happened a couple times.

One time I was dreaming that I was writing in my dream journal; the only problem? It was completely full even though I didn't have more than 10 pages of dreams written down. I woke up shortly after and was so upset that I missed it. Another extremely stupid way was me sitting in a chair, but it had one leg. I was looking down at it as if that were normal!

Although, Yetis chasing me I don't miss

I spent almost an hour in one dream. I added 8+8 and caught my head on fire, then it went out after a second. This took a few seconds. I spent the rest of the hour doing simple math trying to make my head catch on fire. It was aggravating cause it's very difficult to do math in a non-lucid dream. I couldn't even figure out what 4x4 was!

Lately I have missed a lot of good LD time. I often find myself in such real situations, lots of time and I completely forget that I'm supposed to be asleep and not running around some different place with unfamiliar people everywhere!!!
This morning I was sitting around with several DC's, talking about whatever, a light tan horse came over and stood directly over me, everything was right there, he was nuzzliing my neck, then he 'sat down' next to me, and I became unsure because I'm not always around horses. This was obviously my dream guide with whom I've had many adventures with...Grrrr!!!
Next we were watching films about UFO sightings, i was explaining to everyone about them, DC's were asking questions, I was answering them.

I also missed several opportunities of DC sex, but failed again because there were DC's posing as people that I know in waking life, so I get nervous and ended up trying to play it off and avoid a situation!!!

And...I was riding with close family members to a market, the only exception was that I was the opposite sex this time, so I got scared, wondering if they were playing along with my 'fetish', I was looking for a jacket to cover myself with, I was sporting all those wonderful female attributes but I felt very embarrased and out of place.
My sister-in-law laughed and said not to worry about it , everyone will understand, so I left the jacket and we walked into the big market, me in 'drag' and all those DC's everywhere, including my DC in-law that I wouldn't mind wrestling with! What a rack!!!
Grrrrr!!!!!!

This has been going on for several weeks now and I have failed to recognise that I'm DREAMING and not awake!

I walked into this very small office room and there was this lady sitting in a chair at a desk. I walk up to her and ask "Do you guys have a phone I could use?" She grabs her arm, rips it off and starts ripping and chewing on her flesh. Blood just splatters everywhere. I stand there and the expression on my face does not change. At all. She tries to hand me the arm and asks "wants some?" and I responded by saying "No, I don't want your dismembered arm, I want a PHONE." And I end up walking out of the room.

Your Avatar expresses the same attitude

I had another recently.
I was in a situation where there were some mermaid-type things helping me and another bloke to escape from some viscious hooligans, and then I watched the whole escape again on a video screen. As I watched, I started to perform a reality check and then thought: "Hang on, mermaids aren't real." I looked again and then thought to myself: "Oh yeah, this is just a program about them."
Silly me. I thought I was watching a film or something.

I had a false awakening one time and it was night time almost an I felt so depressed since I thought i was sleeping for 18 hours I just went back to bed in my dream.

Last night I witnessed a goat run through a closed locked fence like a ghost. Had it not started biting me, I might have had enough time to gather I was asleep.

Basically everything I do in my dreams is stupid lol.
I'm still getting used to the idea of doing RC's all the time (while awake), so I guess it's not my fault I don't see the signs and do something Even if they are so blatantly obvious, I smack myself in the morning for not noticing them.
If I had to pick though..
Two nights ago, amoung doing other things aswell of course, I dreamt I was looking at myself in the mirror. I had a full beard and I was like "sweet, now I look badass". I then looked again and it was gone. I was like ""
I guess it's my subconscious telling me it's time to grow a full beard

I've had a few recently.

The first one I had, I just bought "Exploring the world of Lucid Dreaming." I turned off my light and went to bed shortly after reading for two hours. I woke up a little bit later, all my lights were on, and I looked down at the book. The cover of the book was ALL wrong. There was a "4" on the cover, and I said "Huh.. I didn't know this was a series." Put the book down and went back to bed.

I had one about two nights ago. I woke up in the middle of the night, and my lights were on, once again. I thought "Hmm.. I want water." and my brother walked instantly into my room with a glass of water. I took a sip and then went back to bed. Woke up shortly after.

A couple of weeks ago, I heard my mom talking with someone who use to be one of my dream signs. inmediately I realized what could it mean. I wanted to RC to be completely sure. While I'm changing my clothes I saw my daugther's teddy bear running out from the room. I got pissed off because this toy is always running out!
I lose the dream trying to get it back to the room

I was riding in a plane with a few of my friends. There is a huge explosion so we all run to see what it was. We notice the back of the plane is completely gone, but the plane is still flying perfectly fine. I go up to the edge and say, "What the crap? How is this possible?"
One of my friends come up and tell me I'm dreaming while I just look at him and say, "STOP BEING SO STUPID," then I hit him as he falls out of the plane and I go back to sit down.
Why is it a DC will tell us we are dreaming sometimes, but we just ignore them and yell at them. At least for me. Trust me this isn't the first time this has happened.

I wish I had helpful DCs. In fact, I don't think I even have DCs that I don't know in real life. This makes becoming lucid more difficult .

Last night a woman gave birth to esparagus. And rice. And corn. My reaction to it was "We're not going to win this war if you can't provide us with new recruits."

hmm, I had a dream today where a car just moved on its own without being turned on. I noticed it somewhat but not fully, so, I didn't become lucid. To make matters worse, it moved again, just time from the sidewalk into the side of the street and again I didn't notice

I left my house early and went to school. Nobody was there, and I arrived too early so I snacked my fingers and I went back in time 30 minutes. I did this about 5 times in which bad events happened (I killed a girl's dog on accident) so I kept going back in time to try to have the perfect day.

...and I never became lucid

I was in a dream last night, and there was a computer downloading a game called, "Lucid Dreaming." I just looked at it and went, "Oh, it must be a good game." I'm kicking myself for not catching that!

Last night I was on a beach. I walked for a little bit, around some corners and lighthouses, until I came to a beach. This is a very special beach to me, because I've only seen it in my dreams, but I've seen it many times since I was little.

I got all excited and I thought "I've finally found it! I was beginning to think this place was only real in my dreams!"

In an unrelated note, the sea then started to shrink and was replaced by piers and buildings so thick you couldn't see it. It filled with motorboats and transport ships. The population was 99% black (not just black -- stereotype gangsta black). One of the ships had a bunch of black guys on it, all naked and in their '40's. I left, disgusted, and I'm pretty sure I thought something to the effect of "damn commercialism".

In one dream there was a 50 foot high fence around my yard, and a disembodied voice that said loudly "THIS IS A GOVERNMENT TEST! YOU WILL NOT REMEMBER THIS IN THE MORNING!"

There was also breathing underwater after I jumped over the fence into a river, and joined the rebellion made up of aliens and characters from Sonic who were in the underwater tunnels I found...

I did become lucid in this dream, and it was my first LD, though short-lived, but really..

I found myself after some other segment of the dream (completely unrelated) in a big green, grassy area with lots of waterfalls and cliffs. Very pretty. So, some omnipotent voice from above that didn't even seem to have a voice tells me to find a big cliff! That's right. An omnipotent voice from above wants me to find a big cliff and I don't become lucid! Only afterwards when I moved the 'camera' to find a big cliff and the voice told me 'good job' did I realise I was dreaming. Because I moved the 'camera'.

Last night I was playing Call of Duty MW2 with Ellis from Left 4 Dead 2, we were both characters.

I thought "this is too fun to go lucid." And literally chose not to become lucid. lmao
