Thread: Subconscious learning and lucid dreaming.

Thank you for sharing this. But I think there's a flaw in that.

Anything that you don't know in a dream will, to a certain extent, not appear in it. I may not be understanding it right, but from what you're saying here:

I can access this during lucid dreams to help me understand how to coach to a better standard.

You're saying that you could access more information on coaching from your dreams. But like I said earlier, everything you already knew will appear in a dream. If you've been watching football, you may dream about football and maybe ideas that you've thought of on the subject of coaching it may take form in the dream as well, but you've probably already consciously thought about those ideas when watching football. And if any of those ideas are worth keeping, you probably wouldn't forget about it. And in the case you do, sure, that's when lucid dreaming could be useful but unless you're a regular lucid dreamer it wouldn't be a very effective way. You could go over the information you already have or experiment with it, but with the odd way dreams work, I don't think you'd get good results with it. You're better off trying with it and even learning more in waking life. So, basically you wouldn't be able to access any more information about the subject than you already know, and experimenting on it isn't the best way to go around it.

I'm not saying this is bad at all. In fact, I'd actually really like to "befriend" my subconscious. And of course, lucid dreaming can definitely be used as a tool for self enhancement. Your subconscious can hold surprising things of your condition and, in general, yourself which can bring you closer to goals. You could even go to your subconscious mind for guidance.

The subconscious is always helping you as well. Recurring nightmares or dreams always have a message that is telling you to get over a situation or stop feeling negative emotions. If part of your mind is always trying to indirectly help you when you're in tough situations, I say, why can't it help you directly?

Thanks for bringing up the subject, I actually learned some things myself. Sweet dreams..

EDIT: Forgot to mention earlier, but you double-posted. I'm sure this was unintentional, so you might want to go to a moderator or admin about that.
