Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

Some things you just don't tell the public.

I somehow just remembered a childhood dream I had: I was a chicken. But back then the only thing that realising I was dreaming did to me was wake me up.

My friend and I were playing chess/miniature version of Magic the Gathering. Suddenly I notice that the miniatures extrude a fog. I can see shapes in the fog and think that wow, i can see the thoughts of the miniatures in the fog.

I tell this to my friend who looks at me peculiarly and says; "thats nothing, how about this!"

He picks up a camera and starts filming the chess miniatures. Suddenly, summoned by the camera, from the foggy pieces rises a white ball of light that turns into balloon-like canvas with web-like surface that looks like an alien head! This definetly should have turned me lucid.

Luckily I had a brief period of lucidity later that night (last night by the way)!

Congratulations to you for your lucidity!

I literally held my nose in my non-lucid and breathed through it about 3-4 times and even told people I was doing it. BIGGEST fail ever. I had a few dreams I did this.

i did the nose RC and i thought i could breathe because my nose had a hole

lol..

It seems we never become lucid as long as something has an explanation behind it, no matter how stupid it is.

If you did the hand RC, and had 6 fingers and a DC told you that you got the sixth in surgery that day, you'd probably believe him.

"Don't worry! Today is just bring your pink giraffe to school day!"

I had a macbook (I hate macs). It didn't have a screen. instead, it just had white stretchy fabric where it should have been, so if you cut it, then you could stick your hand through the lid. then it used a built in projector close to the spacebar.

I was in some market place and I went up to my dad and asked "Am I dreaming?" and he said "Yes." so I was like really?! And he said no. AND I BELIEVED HIM!!

I was a penguin and I had to save the penguin world from polar bears with another penguin. We had to combine two rings so I looked at my hands the whole time, I didn't even notice that I WAS A PENGUIN SO I WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HAVE HANDS .____.

This thread is AMAZING!!

I had this weird dream, in which I was sitting in a park with my friends, and we all had snipers, and were aiming at the passing cars. Neither did we realize how dangerous shooting a car could be, and nor did any police officer come to stop us. I remember that I wasn't the least bothered about this, and instead began to examine the snipers that were there. Didn't become lucid.

Another time I was in a non-lucid dream, and some DC comes and asks me, "Will you teach me how to lucid dream, master?" and somehow, I began teaching him. When I reached the RC part, I showed him my hand, and it had around 9 fingers. I tell him, " Look, when you do that in a dream, like this, your hand's fingers will be all messed up like this, so you can tell it's a dream"

"But doesn't that mean that we are dreaming right NOW?!"
"No, dumbass, I just did that to show you how and RC looks like."
"Ah, my bad." And then he walks away. What a stupid way to not become lucid.

Had a dream where I was a member of a Dream Expedition Party last night. We had all kind of expedition gear with us including electric pvc pipes. Huh!?! Actually we have those at the office, because about twice a month me and my boss hang some banners over the roads in waking life and those pipes are used to run the hanging wires through the banner.

Anyway, back to the dream. I was walking with this party in a desert and over dunes (that should have been the first clue, because we don't have those here in Scandinavia). Somehow I knew it was called a DREAM Expedition and when we returned from the desert we met a Chinese expedition party and they asked who we are and our leader said:
"We are the Dream Expedition Party. How was your expedition?"
"Really good, thank you.", replied the Chinese leader.

So I was out there looking for the dreams, but still I won't get lucid!

My school was an amusement park, and I actually remember thinking that it's always like that in dreams.

I`ve had a few:

1. A month or two ago, I dreamed I switched bodies with my friend Alex. I thought this was perfectly normal, because apparently you reach a point in friendships that makes it acceptable to switch bodies.

2. I was a character in a Pokemon game, and had a talking female Dragonair nicknamed Alejandro following me around...

3. My government teacher attempted to kill me after I found out that she was a serial killer.

Never even thought to do a RC.

i was flying actually about 7 feet off the ground, not touching anything, and i guess my mind just thought "yep thats normal"

and another dream i was in this really strange place i cant really remember it well enough to describe it but it was definately not somewhere i have ever been or probably even seen, yet i was strolling around really involved without once suspecting a thing

I had a dream about lucid dreaming lol fail

last night I had a dream that I was explaining different RCs to my friend. He then asked me, "How do you know you're not dreaming right now?" to which I responded, "haha trust me, I think I would know". I also held my nose and kept breathing, to show him, but didn't think anything of it.

A few nights ago I dreamed that I was explaining RCs to my roommate. I pinched my nose and said that if this was a dream I'd be able to breathe in while pinching my nose, but I didn't try to breathe in. Then I told her that you should count your fingers. I looked at my hand and couldn't see any fingers at all, but I just thought that was normal.

Last week I also had a dream about a bloodsucking vampire ghost that lived in the sea and could possess people by eating lemon... I didn't think anything was weird about that either.

One dream I saw people walking around with headcrabs on their heads. I didn't even become lucid at all or consciously realize it.

Jumped out of the car sunroof when travelling on a very high bridge and glided down like a bird (without the wings). Didn't even stop to think about my reality. It was still an awesome dream though.
