Thread: Stupidest ways you wasted time while being lucid

As in a lucid in bed, and it was nighttime, so I closed my eyes, and when I opened them, I opened my real eyes. This was just bearly after gaining lucidity. :/

I was in a cafe and I wasted my time eating everything, it didnt even taste nice :/
Ive done it twice for some reason :S

Trying to have lucid sex. It just never worked and I made a mess IRL and I ended the lucid dream when I could have been improving things!

I dislike hormones.

D: The top one happens in about 95% of the lucids I get into, it sucks.

Having a long conversation about roller coasters with a demon. It was actually pretty awesome, but it was definitely a waste of time.

If anyone is interested, there is an ancient thread on this topic here:

If you found it awesome then how is it a waste of time?

Probably running around in my front garden thinking OMG OMG OMG this is so awesome! This is great! Now i can do whatever i want!

"Wakes up"

Shit....

This happens to me nearly 50% of the time

I've wasted many lucids trying to do this. I hate hormones too.

The night I joined dreamviews, I had three nightmares where I was laying in bed, I was terrified so I closed my eyes and told myself it was just a dream, and woke up. That happened three times that night, and I knew I was dreaming, just was too scared.

My next DILD was a week after joining DV. I suddenly just realized I was dreaming, and quickly tried to have sex with the lady next to me, and I woke up within 5 seconds of becoming lucid.

Dude, when I was lucid, I was trying to get to a portal. Then, some kids were high-jacking my time machine/car. So, instead of knowing I can make another appear, I stopped them. I woke up before getting to the portal.

I am of the opinion that you can't really waste time in a lucid. Every experience helps you grow and learn for the next one, no matter what happens. Not only that, I've also found that since I've stopped wasting my time worrying about "wasting my time" I've had much more enjoyable LDs. It's nice not concerning yourself too much with goals and the like.
