Thread: Stupidest Ways You've Missed Becoming Lucid

I had all the characters from bewitched sitting around my dining table in my house

I saw a man falling down a mountainside. I thought to myself "wow, that's just the sort of stuff that sometimes happen to me in my dreams!

Didn't become lucid.

embarassing but it must be said-

i had a long clear dream about being at work. dream signs left and right being missed. but the worst part is, after walking into this bathroom that looks nothing like the chilis bathroom where i work, i started pissing in a urinal, and the hole inside the urinal was lighting up like there was a bright light coming out of it. i looked at it and thought "wow thats strange. im gonna do a reality ch-" right then i woke up from pissing myself in real life. something i havnt done since childhood

I have another.

People were falling from trees and I was teaching them how to fall slowly, so they didn't get hurt. Basically you had to flap your arms and it compacted the air around you, causing you to fall slower. Then I thought "it's weird things like this that I need to reality check about" and didn't bother do to a reality check. /facepalm

Being in WWII shooting Germans doesent seem to do it

i wanted a gun and a gun fell from the sky... in dream i was like "hm.. must have fell of that roof" and went on...

looked at a date on a coin looked back date had change but someone in dream said i looked at it wrong so i accept it

I just had two really stupid ones recently.

A couple nights ago, I had a dream where I was woken up by an alarm clock and started getting ready for class, and as I turned on my laptop, all the text was "unreadable," and instead of thinking of doing a RC, I just thought my laptop was hacked!

And then just last night I had a dream where I was about 50% lucid but I lost it somehow. Basically, I was walking along a boardwalk when I started seeing all these cartoon characters from my childhood, but adapted somewhat for real life (sort of like one of those really big costumes you might see in a amusement park, but not exactly). I started getting the feeling like something wasn't quite right, and I was RIGHT on the border of being fully lucid, but the dream shifted and I ended up surfing with my friends. e.e

Last night i used a stick of chewing gum to unlock my back door.

Enough said.

Last night my friend was sitting on a bed doing reality checks (staring at his hands and counting fingers, and he doesn't like lucid dreaming) then i thought have never done a reality check before while seeing someone else do one so i decided to. I put the light on and counted my fingers numerous times but i had 5 fingers every time. (probably because it wasn't a serious reality check, just because he was doing one)

I really should have got this one.

I've only started 5 nights ago but 2 nights ago I came SO CLOSE. I figured out I was dreaming, but I got so excited I woke up.

Then you were lucid.

Last night I had a dream that I was in the 60's watching JFK getting shot by Jimi Hendrix and Lee Harvey Oswald, And there was a bright yellow sky. Not to mention people with signs that read FREE HAT until I reread it and it said BOW CHICKA BOW WOW! Then A Hippie told me I must be tripping a little too hard and said I misread it. If I remember he said, "whoa, little freedom fighter, you must be like totally baked, take a chill pill."

Last night i dreamt i was in my house and there was a relative sitting on the couch and he started saying to himself "is this a dream?" and i thought he was just mocking me because i do reality checks so i don't do a reality check and then seconds later a voice on the t.v says the same thing.

I thought to myself thats really strange but i didn't question my state.

lol thats pretty funny

I woke up and i could really remember the dream i just had. So i started thinking about it again, and almost instantly my body started twitching and my eyes and my leg was sliding against the sheets for some reason.

But like im so good at, i move and open my eyes and it wears off. Weird thing for at least 4 or 5 minutes i felt this drugged feeling like if i closed my eyes for even a second i would instantly fall asleep.

Seems like i always get so close to it but i move or open my eyes, guess I have this fear of whats going to happen after it.

CRAZINESS

I walked through walls...flew...turned invisible....all while UN LUCID

>:[

A human DC jumped into the air, turned into a flying harpy, looked at me and said: "This is a dream !."

It couldn't be more obvious...and ofc, I missed it...

The stupidest way I've missed becoming lucid was when I was in my house, and someone had come to my door to see me at 2:00 AM in the morning (in my dream.) Since it was so dark, I tried to turn on the lights, and they didn't work of course. Then, instead of realizing i was in a dream, or at least doing an RC, I just assumed it was a power outage. Damn stupid.

I had a dream where i had gone to bed using the VILD method. then during my dream, i thought someone was going to say 'reality check'. and of course, i missed that orpportunity.

it doesn't get stupider then that.

Drinking poison with my grandma doesn't seem to do it for me.

I was visiting my friends house and he told me to greet his mom. I looked at my watch to know whether to say good-day afternoon or evening. But i didn't have my watch on.
"Damn", i said, "I could have become lucid.
I didn't

I had three dreams last night. One where blobs were attacking me, one where I was fighting a giant chicken, and one where I was flying around in Costco. I didn't become lucid in any of these.

(In the Costco one, I became lucid for about 10 seconds, then got distracted.)

one of my dreams i was in a garden when a kid riding a bull shot up through the flowers and started shooting at me. didnt become lucid---one of those wtf dreams----
