applications

I am brand new to the whole lucid dreaming thing and i thinks it's really cool, however, i was really wondering about possibilites of applications for this. I have heard that lucid dreaming can also be really good for problem solving and it reminded me of the guy who discovered benzene, Michael Faraday.

\"My mental eye..could now distinguish larger structures of manifold conformations; long rows, sometimes more closely fitted together; all twisting and turning in snake-like motion. But look! What was that? One of the snakes had seized hold of its own tail...\". Later on he modified this theory to treat benzene as a mixture of cyclohexatrienes in rapid equilibrium: \"...the form whirled mockingly before my eyes...\"[/b]

this came to him in a dream and i suspect that he had had a lucid dream just because of the effort and concentration he had put into trying to understand the mysterious molecule. FYI, benzene is unque because it is a ring, unlike many other hydrocarbons which are chains..
So my question is... has anyone else expiernced this kind of problem solving? IE, how i can pass my calculus final tomorrow?:wink: Is this topic even in the right forum?

HI larso, I'm going to move this post to the "general Discussions Bord. You will get more responses there :D

I have used Lucid Dreaming to Edit a video before. Ill tell my dream to show me the finished video, and when I wake up ill use elements of what I saw. It can come out quite well.

A non-lucid once showed me the solution to a puzzle I was stuck with on the game "soul reaver"

Richard D. James (AKA Aphex Twin) is famous for composing (or at least claiming to compose) much of his music in lucid dreams...
