Thread: Is it possible to...

It seems like it could work. I'd say give it a try, and post results.

This is the first thing I thought of when I learned about LDing...could you watch memories? Or go back and concentrate on things you never consciously paid any attention too, but your subconscious did.
Could you watch a movie in your dream that you have seen before? Would you be able to access such stored information in your brain?

I would say "yes" because it seems logical enough, but I have nothing to baise it on. This is one of the things I am most interested in.

Wouldn't say it's impossible. Everything you've seen is stored in your head. While it CAN be forgotten, it CAN'T be erased from your mind.

Well, most of dreams are from things you unconciusly know, so I don't see why not.

And come to think about it, it maybe possible to "delete" bad memories that you have...or possibly anything, although caution is advised

you could do it, but youll have no way of knowing for sure if what your looking at is a real info of a made up one... whats more- im not really sure that the brain really remembers every thing it picks up and stors it in the sub-con..

Ive heard of people sometimes being put under hypnosis so they can spot things they never noticed before in their memories? Like say someone robbed a bank, and a person got a clear view of the back of the getaway car, but couldnt remember the license plate, they could be put under hypnosis to see what the license plate number was.

If its true, Id think the same could be done with LD's.

I guess it is possible but the information may be in gibberish because you would be accessing the subconcious and day residue not just computer knowlege. There is bound to be overlap because even when lucid I don't think it will be that easy to filter out what you want from the subconcious....it's a soup of experience. So what you'd learn from it may be inaccurate or mixed with other 'stuff'.

It's definately possible. When you study something before going to sleep, you will automaticly dream about it, and you will automaticly study it in your dreams. When you wake up, you will know the material better than before going to bed.

www.pmemory.com offers you a free ebook that teaches you how to study anything at all, and memorize anything through the use of images. Using this technique studying is more like some sort of daydreaming, and it's way more effective than just "reading" your material over and over until it gets stuck in your head. It takes advantage of the fact that your visual memory is nearly flawless. Encoding all data to visual images, and remember the images instead of the data, will lead to a phenomenal memory. Everyone can do it. Using this method to study and memorize will also increase your visualisation skills and will also increase your lucidity both in waking and dreaming life and improve your dream control. If you are a student and you are into lucid dreaming, you should really check this out.

Albert Einstein for example used dreaming to learn more about the universe, and he used dream expirements to come up with his general relativity theory.

Woot!

Well this looks awsome. Heh, thanks for this mate!

your subjective mind is the one awake in dream (hence the reason why you often aren't aware of it), but it doesn't seem like you would be able to keep the information moving unless it was a really high quality. Otherwise it seems like you would just get distracted.

I've been meaning to try to learn to juggle in my dreams, and then see if I can do it in RL since I've never done it before. I keep forgetting to try,

i also think that this could be very helpful, but at the same time bad. because since you are dreaming still, the info could be false...

Hi, I always picture that when I am sleeping my mind puts fragmented bits of information together like a puzzle. It sorts out the random things my mind took in during the day.

For instance, when you try to learn to juggle you struggle. Then while you sleep that night your mind puts the pieces in the right places. The next day you come to it again and things seem to slip into place a little easier.

Does anyone else ever picture it that way?

From what I have read, it is very possible
