Once you become lucid, do you find yourself often making the same mistakes?

I've had hundreds of lucid dreams over the past twelve years, and I've learned a lot, but there are certain lesson that I should have learned by now that just never seem to stick. For example:



Lesson 1: "It is not possible take photos to show real life people your dream after you wake up"

Lucid dreams can show us some stunningly beautiful places, and this one gets me every time. No matter how many times I wake up disappointed at the sudden realisation that those awesome photos I took are gone forever, I will still feel compelled to snap some shots the next time I find myself in some magnificent place in a lucid dream. This would be understandable if I weren't lucid, but after all these years, I should know better when I'm lucid.



Lesson 2: "Dream sharing is not possible"

I don't mean to offend those who believe in dream sharing, but I've attempted this numerous times without success, including tests such as exchanging secret words in dreams with friends, then testing their ability to recall the word after waking. I've had zero success. Yet more often than not, I still find myself being convinced that the friends and family I encounter in dreams are my actual friends and family who are sharing the same dream with me. Until I wake up, of course.



Lesson 3: "Seeking sex in a lucid dream rarely works"

This may vary depending on the person, but for me, unless a lucid dream presents an obvious opportunity for sex, it seems that this is usually not on the menu. Yet rarely does this lesson ever deter me from seeking it anyway. I may have had rare instances of success, but it usually involves me aimlessly wandering around the dream world searching for someone to have sex with, only to eventually wake up wishing that I had taken the opportunity to do something more interesting.



Can anyone relate to any of these? Are there any other mistakes that you fail to learn from in your lucid dreams?
