Thread: What is the most pointless thing you did while lucid?

Look at my window wishing I can go out there .-.

Oh. And ALSO, pretending to make chicken so my father won't get mad at me when I am about to fly.

I touched a wall.

In my defence it was my first lucid and I was getting used to stuff, it also lasted about 5 seconds.

^ To be fair touching something (or more specifically feeling for texture) can actually help you in a lucid dream to try and engage your senses more.

I do it to ground myself in a dream.

I was a horny teen a few years ago, and was losing lucidity and wanted to bang a chick at my school. I wasted the rest of the partial lucidity looking for a condom...
._.

My most funnily wasted lucid: I became aware that I was dreaming in my laundry room, so I thought to myself "I bet if I opened my eyes I would find that I am not in the laundry room but in my bed." And then I opened my eyes. Duh

*Climbing* up bookcases, boxes, etc., to the exit of the area I was in "so I could get outside." (It was actually sort of interesting feeling the stuff on my arms, body, etc. that I was clambering up") Half-way through I realized WTF am I doing? I started using "force push" to blast things out of my way but I still did not start flying or levitating up the rest of the way.

I spent the most part of another very excellent and highly aware & vivid LD looking at my dream hands because they were so freakishly bizarre.

edit: oh and there was the LD where I was reaching for my phone to voice record my dream, then I realized I was dreaming, so I woke myself up so that I could record the dream in reality

Arguing with my parents trying to convince them that we're in a dream. I've wasted several lucid dreams because of this. They are the only two dream characters I can't control for some reason.

I threw a teacup at my uncle's head. Repeatedly. Whilst giggling like a repressed psychopath. Sadly, I am not joking.

Well, let's see here... When I Lucid, I tend to just go along with the dream "story," which consequently has had me do a lot of pointless things.

One of my best examples is riding in the passenger seat of a car across a featureless desert. It was just a desert. Lots 'o' sand... I waited for something exciting to happen, but I just woke up.

Pretty much just how my past 2-3 LDs have been >~<

Probably the most pointless thing I've done while lucid is reenact the movie Gravity while floating around my living room...yeah. It was kind of funny though I suppose.

One of the most pointless things I've done is try to hide under the bed only to be pulled out by the scary things in the nightmare. : P

I was baking pancakes with me dad, realised I was dreaming, said to him "hey dad, I just realised I'm dreaming" and he said "good job sweetie" and than I hit myself in the head with the frying pan and woke up.

One time I realized I was lucid so I went to my fridge and got a glass of milk...

Random backflips. For absolutely no reason whatsoever.

I found scissors and started cutting paper. Pretty boring and pointless.

My first thought while becoming lucid was something like "oh, God, this dream is going on forever, I just want to get some restful sleep"

Tried to convince a dc that this is a dream.

my first lucid lasted 10 seconds and i spent my time desperately rubbing on the kitchen floor to stabilize. i think the pressure caused the dream to end.

In my first lucid I remember faceplanting over and over trying to fly similarly to Mario 64 - with a triple jump. Maybe not the smartest thing to start out with.

sex. fun? yes. enlightening? hardly.

Allowing an egyptian dog to end my lucid dream.

After completing the ToTM once, I was floating in mid-air for several dream minutes thinking "and now what?"

Thankfully, did not wasted the entire dream doing that, but... some precious dream time.

I'll usually break off from some lucid dreams, and I'll dance around, wasting the dream's time, or reverse time in my lucid dream only to repeat the dream again! I find myself wondering why I need to do that, and I've learned to go with the flow of dreams, because they end up worse when I mess around with them like that. I have ended up fighting people in my dreams when I was a teenager, but I found that exploring the dream was far more peaceful and enjoyable.

I have seen... weird things in my dream, like someone slapping a mouse in the face, because I would stare at that person making them do it. I find myself pushing those parts of my lucid dreams, but I've tried to limit things for a more down-to-earth feel.

Flying is fun, but I attempt to make my dreams a real learning experience by forcing me to stay grounded. The things I can learn from my dreams are quite empowering.

But those are the stupidest things I've done... other than that, I have punched a person in my lucid dream to "break" the story, in which that character would be removed from my dream, and the plot of the dream would be confused enough for me to break from it when I wanted to. Yeah... it's pretty stupid to punch someone (in a lucid dream) just to break the plot, but I've done that two or three times. I don't have the urge to do that naturally, just when the dream gets bizarre and I have control enough to do so.
