Scenarios

[taltho]

What I mean is, can a person set up a scenario during a LD such as a township or organization of some sort in order to test results for real life? I'm just starting to LD for the first time since I was 5 and I keep thinking about this idea. I'm curious to know if anyone else has thought of or done something like this, and what their results where. Just an idea.

Yeah, you can set up a scenario you want before you go to bed. I think you just think about where you want to go and what you want to do before you go to bed, and then you'll remember once you become lucid.

Yes. But can you use it as a test for real life? I mean if you want to organize a party and not sure how people will react, can you use a LD as a mock trial to test for a possible outcome for the party in real life?

Yes, Rehearsal is a widely used property of LDing. Tons of people have used LDs to rehearse for waking life, such as musicians. I remember a story where one musician had stage fright, and he overcame it by having a bunch of LDs where he played on stage perfectly, getting every note right. By the time he went on stage, he wasn't nervous, he didn't shake, and he played the piece perfectly. It was some classical musician, forgot where I read it. Maybe in EWOLD.

Awesome! I'm looking forward to it, thanks.
