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

My most recent LD I wasted out of excitement, actually. Some girl told me to do a reality check, I did, I became lucid, got real excited and kissed her. Don't remember anything after that.

Doesn't sound pointless to me….!

I became lucid while sitting on a couch next to a friend and immediately turned to him and said, "Now watch what happens!"...

... and woke up.

Haha, thanks. I told my friend as well, and he got a good laugh at it, too.

walk some random dog

I wanted to go on a big journey and I spent the entire dream looking for all the equipment I would need.

Just remembered this thread... I bet I've done a lot of pointless things since I last posted.
One was trying to take a photo of a rainbow. For some reason, I thought the photo would still be saved on my phone in waking life. So instead of admiring the rainbow in HD, I stared at it through the screen of my dream-phone.

I once took a break from flying to use the restroom. While I was peeing I wanted to make sure I wasn't peeing IWL, so I briefly felt my IWL body and then went back to perceiving only the dream. Surprisingly, this didn't immediately wake me up, although the dream didn't last very long after that anyway.

I dunno why, but once I got lucid, jumping in a partially filled bathtub, drinking the water and spitting it at my mother seemed like the lost logical thing to do.

Started singing The Clashs "I'm so bored with the USA". Just that. The people I were with in the dream just looked at me, amused. In the last lucid dream I had before that one, I flew to a big-ass stage and sang live, so it probably came from that, but just randomly humming a little tune seems utterly pointless.

I realised I was dreaming. Felt really exhausted. Went back to bed in my dream. Woke up

I had a dream where i was in a sort of ark. I did an RC, and became lucid. I walk outside and find myself in a suburban street. I decide to summon something. The first that comes to mind is a spider, so this giant white spider appears as i think, "Oh shit, i've done it now!" I spent the remaining 10 seconds of that dreaming running like hell itself was on my heels.

One time when I became lucid unexpectedly I got scared for some reason and screamed as loud as I could "Wake me up!!!" to my boyfriend over and over until I woke up. I was lying on the couch sleeping and my boyfriend was sitting nearby in a chair talking to me and his voice was coming into the dream so I could hear what he was saying IRL (I confirmed this by asking him after I woke up); He was drunk and talking and I guess he didn't realize I had fallen asleep so I could hear him talking but he could not hear me screaming (I asked him about that too, to be sure.)

Anyway, In the dream I was in a small room with an overhead projector in it and I became lucid when I realized I don't have a overhead projector. The light from the projector was making the room too hot.

In another dream while I was staying at my parents' house I woke up (false awakening) and I had died and was a ghost and was scared of myself so again I screamed "Wake me up." as loud as I could. I didn't fully realize I was dreaming though. I thought I had actually died and with the faint hope that I might be dreaming, I screamed out to see if it would work and then I woke up.

I once had a lucid dream where I remembered the stabilization techniques and had a specific goal in mind: Travel to Chicago. I tried to spin-travel and that didn't work, so I... wasted dream time trying to travel (Read: WALK) to the downtown area of my town to use it as a point of reference, then wasted even more dream time checking the safety of an elevator (that was travel plan b).

In one of my early lucid dream, I just watch the floor to see the detail and texture.

For me it's mostly the stereotypical stuff:

- Talking to dream characters as if I was talking to the real people the characters resemble
- Telling dream characters we're in a dream

Or there's:

- Checking my email in a dream to see if my boss had replied to the message I sent while awake yet
- Drinking to stay hydrated
- Trying to spawn money into the dream so I could buy something (rather than just spawning the thing itself, doh!)
- Trying to be sneaky around dream characters and distract them so they don't get confused when I suddenly fly off (I suppose this one is only half pointless, since some DCs do get a bit weird when you start playing around with dream powers)
- Not recalling the obvious fact that the friend I just ran into in my dream lived in a completely different country to where I currently live, and so thinking that I was seeing them in real time and that I'd been actually somehow transported to their real world location. Then telling them I'd learned a real life super power to fly around the real world with lucid dreaming.

One of my most recent LDs.

I spent the majority of my lucid dream looking for food, but I wasn't even looking where the food was.

one of my recent LD, i was teaching someone algebra...
equation was something like 55 = 4y - 26
i exactly remember i told her, who was asking me, that you have to add 26 to both side, then divide 4 on each side to get the value of y
and she was like ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
that was awesome...

Probably spawn a lot of airplanes in a field and then don't use them, just to show off the dream control power.

I feel I can post in this thread now, as I had my first lucid dream last night. I spent a while searching for my girlfriend (who is a natural at lucid dreaming - at least 5 out of 7 nights a week) to tell her that i've finally become lucid. Though, being my first lucid dream, it didn't seem to pointless as I was just enjoying the moment

I ran out of the room I was at (my entire family was there) and I started to slowly lose my lucidity, so I began to make a gesture with my right arm (raising and lowering it repeatedly, then opening and closing my hand as I did so] to try and remain lucid. It did not work.

I became lucid in the middle of a street and I forgot I could do a million things, so I thought "I'm gonna lay down and touch the ground to see if it feels as real as in RL"...so there I was, wasting a LD laying down in the middle of a street.
