Which means if you train in a dream on say basketball, and everytime you do a successful layout in that dream. Chances are your muscle memory would be wrong as to what should be done in reality. It would only be correct in the dream if you already have it corrected in reality.
How do you know this? The mind is very accurate about these types of things. Think about it. Right now, can you imagine a pretty damn near accurate depiction of something like, say, throwing a ball. You can imagine running and then throwing a tennis ball... let's say it hits a tree and hits the ground. You can imagine how it forms the arcs and what angle it bounces off pretty accurately. Sure, you might be fooled that you are better than you really are, but it helps for layups when like, deciding where to shoot and the such. You've "seen" everything you need to create a realistic game of basketball in a dream.
