Thread: LD Leakage into RL?

PRE NEWS: Hey guys, i'm new to DV and LD in general... This whole concept blows my mind and intrigues me. I'm going to start my LD practice starting tonight, wish me luck and i hope you guys can answer all of my questions!...

LD LEAKAGE INTO RL?
So this thought crossed my mind, if you view something on TV, RL, a movie...
...like how to FIGHT or DANCE, theoretically, since in LD anything you create is from how you know it to be, such as FLYING is to having a jetpack or iron man jets...
technically you have no clue how you can actually fly with jets...but you are able to do so because you have SEEN IT in a movie...

Let me switch the story up... In the Matrix, Neo learns to fight from a computer program whatever...okay...now he's fighting in the computer program "Matrix"... He learned to fight from a program...he doesn't really know how to fight in RL, but he's seen it, his brain recognizes that that is how you FIGHT... yada yada yada
EVENTUALLY after spending so long in the Matrix and fighting Mr. Smiths, Neo when he comes back to reality, knows how to fight...

**I might be switching this story up Assassins Creed, but you get the point**

So is it possible that if you practice in your LD that eventually you may be able to fight or dance...to a certain extent i mean.

I think so yeah, definitely. I've read on one site, this surgeon in America was using LD-ing to practice surgeries, and in waking life he was more efficient and faster at his surgeries, so yeah.

Yeah to an extent, but the matrix would have "rules" "physical boundries" such as gravity, your physical flexibility endurance and strength etc whereas in your dream the only boundry is your confidence and imagination.

e.g.
You think you can fly but you know its impossible, you won't fly.
You want to fly, know you can because its your dream, you will fly.

But to what you were saying it would be useful to practising technique/skills but even then it would be to limited effect.

Oh and good luck with your LD'ing, one thing i recommend which is something i've been trying recently is "self hypnosis" mp3s for lucid dreaming, sounds odd but my recall recently has rocketed and i've had 3 LD's in the past 7 days or so from it, thats up from 1 LD every 1-2 months.

Only if what you're practicing in the LD conforms to the laws of physics in the waking world.

I believe practicing in LDs can help in the waking world, but only if you're already capable of doing whatever the activity is. Someone so uncoordinated that they can't dribble a basketball won't become a professional by practicing in LDs.

Now, someone that is already good at basketball that practices in LDs, I think that will help them a little--the more you do something, the better you'll get. Of course it won't suddenly make them the greatest, but it will help in more subtle ways.

About what Orgun said, that makes sense. A surgeon that LDs about surgeries would become more familiar with what to do, as it's essentially practice on what he/she would have to do in their waking life.

You are right in saying our minds only simulate an experience based off our previous experiences and assumptions. Dreams aren't realistic; they fool us into thinking they are pretty well though. You'd have to have relative knowledge and experience of what you were going to practice in the dream in reality first. And even so, if you did it in your dream it'd probably be a rose tinted experience anyway.

To be fair its not worth it. Why would you even want to bother? It isn't convenient to do it in dreams in the first place.
