Like if you were in the military and you had to learn to keep your cool but you hadnt been on a battlefield before. What if you went through the scenes over and over in your head and at first it would be scary. But after doing it hundreds of times you would become a freakin hero ont he battlefield... think it worx?
Yes this is one of the benefits of LD. Rehearsal for waking life.

Now for the scenario where you want to become a hero on the battleground. I dont know if i would run around playing hero just because i can dodge bullets in a LD . Maybe in a game i would, but waking life war would still be a scary thing. However i guess one would act cooler in heated situations maybe.
