Do that every night and I guarantee by November you will have a lucid dream. In my opinion meditation is pointless, being relaxed does not in any way mean you will have a lucid dream. I don't think anyone will get more spiritually connected by having a lucid dream though, but it is incredibly fun.

Oh and just say no brother!
lol, meditation and relaxation are not the same thing. I think you need to get educated on the subject before you label it useless, Buddhists have been utilizing the dream state to further their spiritual practice/attain enlightenment for thousands of years. Thousands, let that number sink in. If awareness work didn't help they would have tossed it aside by now, that's how they do things.
