Have you ever achieved lucidity, been in awe for a moment and then wasted the whole experience?

Last night I had a DILD and I decided to go get some gravity defying hairstyle, so I go into a salon. I see this old woman getting her hair done and once finished she gets it put on a tab, which is many thousands of pounds (?!), because, as she explained to me, she was bored with her life and consequently had a new haircut every week (?!) but had got into debt. I then spent the rest of the dream attempting to will a cheque for her to appear in my pocket. All I managed was a fist full of spare change

Although in real life this would be admirable, in the dreamworld it's a real waste of time!

So in short, has anything other than the typical fear of physical harm or social consequences made you waste an LD?
The more ridiculous the better.
