What is the most pointless thing you did while lucid?

**stormr** · 10-14-2014 05:33 PM

I've done a few pointless things over the years, but I think the most pointless ones being:

I realized I was dreaming and decided to go on a beer run, couldn't find any beer, woke up.

Another one was realizing I was dreaming and then wondered what I should do, then woke up.

I Think the one that takes the cake would be when I accidently conjured up a spider in my dream, and scared myself awake. I was thinking to myself, whatever you do don't make any spiders, so naturally thats what happened, just one ugly little spider, and it wouldnt leave me alone.

There was another time I became lucid (this was one of my earliest ones) I decided I could do whatever I want so I saw a pretty woman walking on the sidewalk, so I figured I would go over there and bang her, but in the process I got distracted by an orange lamborgini parked in front of the store, needless to say I looked at it too long and woke up. I was pretty disapointed in myself for that one, She probably would have been my first lucid bang!

I had my second lucid dream two days ago (its in my dream journal but worth posting here) - I maintained to my companions that we were going to go to 'The Best Place In The Whole World'

We actually ended up in a queue at Dunkin' Donuts, I was lucid, it was very vivid, and yet I was prepared to let a heap of DC's get their coffee & Doughnuts before me! - I wasted the last couple of minutes of my lucid doing that!

Staying in a car, doing nothing. Just thinking about the fact that I was sleeping.

One time I just sat down, crossed my legs, attempting to memorize the dream feeling. Lasted about 2-3 minutes before I woke up. I regretted it.

This actually sounds like a good idea, unless you know about LD. Then you know that it just feels like WL, unless you do something supernatural, lol. Was it at least a good meditation? Maybe you learned something that will help with future LD, either obtaining them or controlling them?

I thought so too, and it still might be, but I don't think I'm willing to go back to testing things like that just yet. I was having multiple lucids a week at the time, and I wanted to progress even further. I might revisit the idea someday when I'm back up to speed and have done plenty of amazing things.

I found dirty dishes in my kitchen and started washing them... by hand. I was lucid enough to know I was wasting time, but apparently not lucid enough to come up with a better plan of action.

I must have lost lucidity by then, but: I tried for a long time to decipher the controls on a large, bizarre electric range in order to warm up a STUPID HOT DOG (!!!!!!)

**TravisE** · 12-07-2014 01:28 AM

I once had a LD where I just sat there doing nothing because I wanted to find out how long the dream would last.

I also had one where I woke myself up as a RC. Whoops!

Could be worse—that's great dream control practice, and you succeeded on the first try!

**jakerheingold** · 12-07-2014 02:39 AM

shot a bow and arrow, wast of a LD ill tell you :/

**Saschavs** · 12-21-2014 06:22 PM

Trying to convince my friends that they're in a dream, and then getting mad at them because they don't believe me. One of them said: "If we really were in a dream, you wouldn't be so ugly". I was so insulted I woke up xD

my sides

Putting clothes on because I'm naked, such a waste of precious dreamtime. I later discovered if I just continued without them they would eventually re-materialise on my body anyway.

**SuperHans** · 01-12-2015 05:11 PM

One lucid dream all I did was sit in my kitchen and have a boring conversation with my mum. I don't know why, i just couldn't think of anything else to do. I've also done small favours for dream characters just to be kind hearted

Favors for DCs is great! Have them give you a reward when you are done! Like a video game.

This reminds me of a dream I had of the worst wasted opportunity to become lucid: I was actually cleaning up poop that was all over a bathroom, and I briefly considered whether it was a dream, but decided not to check because I was too busy cleaning up poop to have the time to do a reality check!

Uggghhh! But in a similar vein, there have been times that I've actually used the bathroom at times when lucidity has slipped enough that I don't remember how completely pointless this is.

Just blew my most recent LD doing something similar. I also spent a minute or so waiting politely for a break in the conversation so I could proposition her without interrupting anyone

**bemistaken** · 01-16-2015 06:55 AM

I recall on time I was in a lucid dream and I was swinging like a monkey from a chandelier and my husband looked at me and said, "Aren't you suppose to be doing something?"

**darkphovos** · 01-19-2015 06:17 PM

Besides from playing with mirrors, one time I got rid of my lucidity (returning to normal sleep) because I didn't know what to do with the lucid dream and I got bored!!!

**Sensei** · 01-19-2015 10:01 PM

Darkphovos. I had that problem before as well. I used to get lucid enough to remember that everything was fake, but couldn't for the life of me remember anything fun to do in the dream.

**TravisE** · 01-20-2015 05:10 AM

I also made that mistake back when I was young and didn't know any better. I'd be lucid, get bored, and try to wake myself up (though I never could seem to get the dream to end when I wanted it to—now they always end before I'm ready, go figure). Can't believe I used to do that.
