I really can't say it's useful or beneficial in any way, other than being fun and interesting. The more lucid I get, the harder it is to stay asleep, so I can't really utilize the time for anything other than amusement. (and if this wakefulness effect can be prevented, katydee, I'd like to know)

There are techniques for doing this-- the most basic one is to spin around in circles (not joking). This works well enough for me that I haven't looked deeply into the matter.

Eh? Like, spin around in your dream?

That sounds ridiculous, but I'll try it!

...actually come to think of it, sometimes when I can't fall asleep, I coax myself to sleep by visualizing rotating objects. Maybe imagining your entire hallucination rotating somehow shifts your attention away from reality and back into whatever you're visually hallucinating?
