The mere fact that you aren't deriving earth-shatteringly new heretofore unknown insights does not make the usefulness of contemplation null-and-void.
Of course, lucid dreaming still suffers (for me anyhow) from the problem of it being difficult to actually recall what occurs in said dreams long after the fact. But still; being given more time to 'muddle through' personal troubles would give one more ability to derive answers than otherwise would be the case. Of course, this isn't a particularly useful strategy to me personally (my history has included attempts to refine/inform/understand my intuitions thereby allowing me to reliably make more-rational decisions 'instantaneously'.)
This is clearly true, but if I ever get around to mastering lucid dreaming I'll probably just fly around, blow stuff up, and generally have fun before I start using it for anything reasonable. I wonder if then I'll feel like I need to spend less time while awake on time-wasting activities.
Do you know of any good tutorials? How did you learn to do it (if you had to learn it) and do you lucid dream all the time?
I am somewhat unusual in that I never "learned" to lucid dream, and I don't know that I ever do dream any other way.
That gets old far quicker than you'd think.
I'd be willing to bet that other parts of the 'generally have fun' would get old far more slowly.
