Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

Well havent had a dream that I can remember in a while but yesterday I fell asleep on the bus and somehow I realized I was asleep but I wasnt dreaming. i tried to form a dream but I couldnt because I didnt have anything at all to work with I didnt even have any senses I knew I was on the bus but I couldnt even feel my body and I didnt have a dream so obviously no dream body either. My consciousness was in a dark void. So I just woke myself up

A night or two ago, I dreamt I was reading about precautions to take before going lucid. It had the typical overprotective guidelines, such as, "Get help from a parent before going lucid."

First of all, why didn't I reality check? Second of all, I don't need my mom's help to go lucid! I can do it by myself, thank you!

I was dreaming the other night as i always do. I was walking along in this field and realized i was dreaming however i wasnt fully lucid. I was very interested in something in the field so i decided that i would wait to become lucid until after i checked out this thing (i dont remember what it was). In the back of my mind i thought to myself 'i bet im gonna check this out and then forget to become lucid' and thats exactly what happened.

So i missed becoming lucid because i decided not to in a dream! lol

a few that I can remember:
- vaguely, i realize i'm dreaming. i'm sort of excited, but don't wake up. i decide to try spinning. i do a clockwise spin and resume standing. satisfied, i lose consciousness.
- for weeks i'd been having recurring dreams where i'd see a bright light in the sky which for some reason or another (its colour, apparent size, or movement) just HAD to be a spaceship, or at least some sort of unusual craft. i decided i'd start checking reality every time this happened, and spent quite a while training myself to remember to. then, i had a dream that my friend was driving my girlfriend and i home. they were talking in the front of the van and i was sitting in the back, so obviously i was scanning the skies. i saw a bright light, moving quickly, but didn't tell my friends because they were preoccupied with driving/talking. next, i saw another light - this one even larger and stranger. it crossed over the car to the other side where i decided it must be part of a bus shelter and again not worth mentioning. finally, my friend drove top speed into a pedestrian. his sudden tumble up over the windshield is what finally struck me as odd - so odd that i immediately woke up!
