Thread: Have you ever used LD to improve a skill IWL?

Improving a skill IWL- In waking Life?? If this is what your talking about then yes i do believe so and you can definitley work or your emotional processes through lucid dreaming like conquering your fears. I use to have a fear of home intrusion after i had my car stolen and broken into twice. Thorough lucid dreaming i would encounter my fear directly and flip it into a favorable outcome. now a days my family has to remind me to lock doors and windows when i go to bed. Where before there was no way i would forget to do things like that. If your looking to work on a more physical skill set im sure u can do that also the astral dream scape can be a huge source of valid information that can carry over into to waking life. namaste. Your guide and higherself are a great resource to tap into.

No, I haven't. But it might even help with (for example) muscle training. The reason pushups etc. help is because your brain stimulates the growth of your muscles if they're used intensively. it might be possible to make your brain stimulate the growth of your muscles through training in dreams. Not sure if it would work though. Even if it would, it's not as good as RL training, but it might make a nice addition.

(Yeah, a lot of 'might' and 'would', cuz i don't think it has ever been proven to work, but it isn't necessarily impossible)

Absolutely.

I studied for my AP Statistics exam in a lucid dream the night before the test. Einstein was my teacher, and he went over Linear Regression with me (it was the stuff I already knew, but the way he taught it made so much more sense to me). Needless to say, I got every LR questions on the exam correct

I don't think anything you do in a lucid will travel to real life except for emotions. It can help you better yourself but not in knowledge.


Also Einstein has nothing to do with statistics

There are many documented cases where people have claimed that they solved a problem in waking life through experiencing some event in their dream lucid or non lucid. namaste.

i absolutely think you can make changes to yourself through LDing. after all, it is an experience, and experiences influence who we are and what we become every single instance. i think they would be particularly good for emotional conditioning like trying scary things like skydiving or dealing with a difficult boss or relative. i also do think that muscle memory or something like it could most certainly transfer to WL.

once, when i was trying to lose a little weight, get my abs more defined, and generally just strengthen my core, i had an LD. in the dream i sat in the lotus position and focused on the feeling of being super lithe, strong, and solid. i felt the strength of my midsection. later i looked at myself in a mirror and blasted myself with rays of red energy which were meant as a 'purification.'

do i think this made me get thinner and more ripped by itself? heck no! but, the memory and feeling of it was a VERY powerful motivator for several months. i lost the weight, improved my diet, and through working out became more like the image of myself i had pictured.

i have always wanted to have a teacher teach me or practice music in an LD, but i have never had a long or stable enough LD where i have remembered to do this.

Einstein had a dream where he was sledding with his friends, and his sled began approaching c (speed of light).

"I was sledding with my friends at night. I started to slide down the hill but my sled started going faster and faster. I was going so fast that I realized I was approaching the speed of light. I looked up at that point and I saw the stars. They were being refracted into colors I had never seen before. I was filled with a sense of awe. I understood in some way that I was looking at the most important meaning in my life."

"I knew I had to understand that dream and you could say, and I would say, that my entire scientific career has been a meditation on my dream."

Dreams can definetely be motivational, and can have huge impacts on our waking lives apparently.

i believe you can use dreams to improve reflexes and develop and improve muscle memory, so i think you could improve your preformance in sports or something with it.

I used to be so crippled in my fear of driving to the ocean on the freeway that I would refuse to attempt the 2 hour drive. In one dream a few years back (2006), I was driving in a dream towards the large bridge over the bay that has always scared me, and I lost control of my car. I was crippled in fear as I lost all hope, then I gained a conciseness of the situation, and realized to counter the slide and gained control. I finished the dream by driving the rest of the way down the shore. I woke and was determined to face this fear. I have been into lucid dreams ever since. In 2007 I drove over that bridge with a confidence from this dream.

I belive that it is possible. This is something I am definitely going to try one day.

You can improve at any conceivable subject or activity through lucid dreaming, this is fact.

i disagree. for example, if you want to play a piano and get better you would need to know how each note sounds, and when you play a song play each note instead of expecting the entire song to be perfect without pressing the right keys.

Bad example, because improving at piano can be done in lucid dreams...If you request an 88 key piano in a dream, you'll get an 88 key piano that plays from the lowest note in the key spectrum to the highest when each key is pressed. If you are a complete beginner and want to learn to play, you request a teacher from the dream. If you learn a song and can play it faithfully in your lucid dreams, you can hop on a piano in waking reality and do the exact same. It's the same with fighting, learning to draw or compose music, piloting a 747, etc. You can practice and improve at any skill in lucid dreams.

There is a really popular martial artist who practices his fighting in his LDs.. and since he has control over everything, he can decide the "difficulty". He also said, that since, ultimately he is fighting himself, his opponent knows all his moves, making him have to react and counter better....

Training or practicing in a LD is really popular...

Personally, I like to do stuff you can accomplish in WL.. Thats when the impossible gets real / fun.
