Context:
I sought to engineer a cure by spending more time in self-examination and prayer. But those efforts proved largely dry and unrewarding, failing to carry me across the widening gap between my awareness of my imperfect nature and God's perfection.
@oristarA,
No. It means you largely failed in your attempt.
Think of digging a well, and you come up dry. No water: no well.
But those efforts proved largely dry = without result
@oristarA,
I would read dry here as being "unsatisfying" (similar to your "tasteless" take) although I can see the answers others gave as valid as well.
