Today, my parents pranked me hard. They spent breakfast messing with my head, all to convince me that I was dreaming. I got so excited at finally having a lucid dream that I ran outside in my pajamas, yelling, "Woo-hoo!" and trying to fly. Nothing happened. People saw. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got up early to prank my family. I put a bucket of ice water on top of a door frame so whoever walked through would get an icy surprise. After I was done, I went back to bed. I woke up groggy and disoriented like always and walked right through the doorway I had rigged. FML
Today, I woke up, ate breakfast, and left my dorm room, only to see about half a dozen people and my roommate shuffling around in the hall. Their zombie outfits and limping were so realistic that I freaked out and ran back inside, screaming. They think it was the greatest prank ever. FML
Today, my mom woke me up and asked if I wanted breakfast. I had passed out naked on the kitchen floor after a party. FML
Today, I woke up because I really had to pee. I got out of bed, went to the bathroom and went back to bed. Or so I thought. I did pee, but I only dreamed that I got out of bed. FML
Today, my parents woke me up by pouring a glass of freezing cold water over my head. Their reason? They were "bored". FML
Today, I was in one of those lucid half sleeps with my boyfriend. Not fully awake to control myself, I ripped ass. I had no idea what to do. I pretended to still be sleeping. I'm pretty sure he noticed because he patted me on the back in a congratulatory sort of way. FML
Today, my dad woke me up for the second time to get me ready for school. Wanting me to prove I was really awake, he made me sit up. As soon as he left my room, I dozed off and faceplanted my nightstand. FML
Today, I'm staying at my parents' house. I was woken up by the fan in my bedroom falling down. I calmly picked it back up and went to bed, wondering why my parents weren't concerned at all. My mom said she figured it was nothing, and when my dad tried to say something, she retorted, "You didn't even wake up!" FML
Today, I woke up and realized that the "nice dream" I'd had was just about talking to people. FML
Today, I was home alone, wearing my comfiest pajamas and watching Netflix, when I heard a knock at the door. I opened it to find my parents standing there. They had just driven four hours to surprise me. My hair was a mess, my face was bare, and I looked like a living disaster. "We just wanted to see how you’re doing!" they said. FML

How in the world did they convince you that you were lucid dreaming?! Not because I want to know so I can try it on my friends or anything... But actually, though, because that sounds seriously impressive

I'm really interested in what they said to make you believe you're dreaming! anyway, that makes for a funny story to tell at family reunions.

There was episode on American Dad about this. Steve saw a red ball whenever he lucid dreamed so maybe op had something similar that happened every time they lucid dreamed and their parents found out. I've never lucid dreamed before so I honestly don't know how real it feels

This is actually a really dangerous thing to do. You shouldn't mess with people's minds like that.

You are a moron, it isn't bad.

actually it is, in my lucid dreams (I've had about 3) I usually figure it out then kill someone I hate the most. CUZ hey, it's just a dream. tricking someone into doing that irl can be bad, so no, you are the moron.

Part of it was because op has never had one? He was excited to have 'finally' had a lucid dream. If you're a consistently lucid dreamer you understand how to distinguish said dreams from reality. I lucid dream all the time and that sort of prank would never work on me: in dreams both sensation and the weight of your my body is different than it is irl....

I always see myself in 3rd person in my dreams, that's how I know I'm dreaming. I don't know how OP could fall for that. Unless it's different in lucid dreams.

If you look up at the ceiling, it spells gullible.

My teacher's ceiling tile actually has gullible on it and he tells kids it does, but they refuse to look up and believe him thinking it's a joke

Did you hear they took gullible out of the dictionary? "Again?"
zinoxity 23
How can one be so gullible? Haha

Your family sounds really awesome! Random people who saw this will forget it soon enough, but your family will have a great story for generations. So cool!
