There’s an old Fred Pohl[1] novel (I forget the title) where this is a plot point. A time traveler finds himself in a post-scarcity utopia, but everyone’s wasting away spending all their time in the “dream theater”.

Fun little book, but firmly a pulp: the lucid dreaming scene is really raunchy.

[1] Edit: Maybe Poul Anderson. It’s been a while.

It was also a plot arc of the underrated great movie "Until the End of the World".
