Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

I had something annoying happen a couple of nights ago again. I was thinking about doing a nose reality check in my dream. In the same dream I seemed to be thinking about alot of things in the dream.

Well,for no reason whatsoever I thought that I should do a Reality Check.I looked at my hands and they started melting.I thought:"Oh,this is kinda strange,I must be dreaming...".And then I decided to check one last time,and since my hands looked perfectly normal,I figured out it wasn't a dream after all.
I hate when that happens.

I once said in my dreams something along the lines of:

"I need to have a lucid dream" or "I really should do a reality check"

It's kind of annoying that my dreamself is an idiot and is lazy.

In one dream, a bunch of my teeth fell out. Instead of thinking "Hey, this is a bit peculiar...I don't remember my teeth being gray and rotten", I just boiled them for fifteen minutes and stuck them back in.

I was in the car with my parents and passed a 'lucidity institute'. I told my parents "wouldn't it be cool if we stopped there?" -- I never did realize I was dreaming ! haha

Isn't it annoying when you miss one like that, like when i was given a pack of lucid crisps which were supposed to make me lucid when i eat them but i didn't become lucid, perhaps it was because i didn't eat them.

Lucid Crisps! I love it!
Perhaps someone would design a pack of them for your signature...

Recently, it's been my annoyed dream guide telling me I'm dreaming and me not getting me.

I never get such obvious dreams like that and i can't believe i missed it. Yeh perhaps someone should.

Your dream guide is even trying to help you and you still can't become lucid.

I bet your dream guide is p****d off with you.

I once didn't use logic in understanding that sisters cannot change into dogs.

Er, well unless they're hit by a truck.

This is just sort of a general question. Will your abillity to pick up on oddities improve over time, because right now i feel like i could be walking with Ronald Macdonald through a battlefield having a nice discussion about school without thinking twice about what was actually going on.

Yes it will get into the habit of questioning oddities in real life.

I realize im dream every dream and i get so excited it wakes me up and i can`t become lucid

i shutdown my computer and even pulled the cable. then computer automaticly started without any power source. i just thought:"that must be because that portable disk". silly me.

i was swimming and i dived below the surface of the water. I was breathing under water. I actually started wondering why i was breathing under water so what do i do? i go ask some DCs. they told me that it was possible as long as alot of water didnt get into your lungs.

Yes, with practice, your recognition skills will improve. But don't take that to mean you'll always recognise obvious dream signs. Even the best LDer misses most oddities and dream signs. So don't be discouraged if you miss something obvious. Skill improvement is all about increasing your odds, not achieving 100% success.

Funny topic!

One of my dreamsigns is my digital camera, that behaves very strange.

Yesterday I dreamt about taking pictures of an odd dream scene while telling myself:
"Yeah, it's great that the camera is working correctly, now I can take some pictures from my dream and show then in waking life!"

Too bad these pictures were not on the camera when I woke up

last night i drempt i was a ghost and i did a sucsessful nose rc but i told myself that it only worked because i was dreaming i was a ghost.
'
i did not become lucid

haha. those sly dcs, they always know what to say to get you forgetting about your problem...

the other day i had a dream where i was being arrested by a female police officer for no reasosn. she was enjoying herself and as i kept asking her what i had done wrong i told her, " you know, if I was dreaming I could just fly away right now." and she laughed, and then i wished i was dreaming.

Last night I had a dream where a woman asked me to use my superpowers to make a head of garlic grow larger so she could roast it. I placed it in the palm of my hand and closed my fingers around it.

Confused about how I could accomplish this task, I then thought to myself, "how would I do this if I were dreaming?"

Lets see, once i had a dream that i had to give a speech on lucid dreaming at a school i had never seen. Before i gave the speech i wanted to grab some food so i drove to sonic. In the parking lot i saw a friend making a drug deal. His drug of choice in the dream... a blue matchbox hotwheel, I reasoned with myself that he must be a rare hotwheels collector

Haha. Of course, the obvious "You're dreaming! You're actually just dreaming right now!"

And the "Perform a reality check." That one's pretty bad as well. I have a lot of electrical problems in dreams too, which is a sign. Always miss it.

this thread could go on forever, as it probably should

last night i was in a public restroom and above the urinal was a do-it yourself shaving thingy, with cords and whatnot. I said to myself, "thats bizarre, maybe im dreaming...nah its too real"....and felt ashamed for doubting almighty reality...upon waking however i shook my fist at that dream

I was in a dream where I was telling something really important. In the middle of my sentence I awoke from the dream to be in my bed. Tired, I thought to myself, "Damn! That was important, I have to get back into the dream to finish telling them!" So I shut my eyes, and sure enough I slipped right back into the dream and finished the conversation, never realizing that I had just woken and up and should've become lucid.
