Thread: Improving Skills In An Ld

This may come across as a stupid, seemingly obvious question.
It probably is.


But I was just wondering..
what do you think of practicing things in dreams?
I'm thinking specifically, sports related stuff
[I have my reasons =)] but not necessarily just that
I know you couldn't.. say, exercise frequently in your dream
and expect waking results,
But do you thinkyou could improve hand-eye co-ordination
or anything like that? Something that does have
some mental .. er.. input..?
[for example, my gym teacher said to dribble better
I needed to learn the "feel of the ball" O.o]


And please don't say something like, "why waste an LD on that?"
this is just a general question...

I know it's kinda .. probably a big,
simple, "no"
but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask you lovely people
heheh.


:thankyou:

Yes. You can use the time in a lucid dream to improve upon skills.

I don't think it's a waste of an LD at all. Fundamentally, some studies have shown that "sleeping on it" is a great way to work out waking world problems, alone. As far as LDing goes, I think practicing waking world skills is a great thing. The most important mental conditioning (if you ask me) for a waking world skill is experience. Sure the physics may be a little different, but it's the mental preparation and familiarity ("the feel of the ball") that you can practice, while dreaming. And that can't hurt.

Thanks a lot,
both of you



I was actually expecting some negative responses,
because it seemed a little unrealistic

Thanks =)
