No, you can not. If you can dance, then you can dance. It's that simple.

Of course you can improve your skills. It's called PRACTICE. Just look at Napolean Dynamite

on topic please.. so is it possible?

What you could do is PM a more experienced lucid dreamer and ask him/her to try this out.
I think he/she will be very interested and help you out, because everybody in this forum are so nice too n00bs (not ironic&#33 .

But I'm still going to kill you all tonight while lucid dreaming. Read more about it here:WILDing out!

Save yourselves!

Didn't laberge conduct some studies that suggest that the brain can send messages to the muscles in dreams that cause them to develop similarly as they would in real-life? Like a lot of people could use their dreams to improve tennis strokes and stuff.

TripleX, I think in your sleep you would be able to work out in a dream, just like anything in real life, but honestly it won't do you any benefit since it is only your brain simulating the motions and your not actually moving. No matter how many signals are sent to your muscles you need the motion, so nah, you can't. (Lift a car up and do 50 reps ) but why not use your LD's for more fun things like SEX and flying, and explosions and space machines and a giant dinosoar penis chasing you all the way to Thailand while you swim and it uses its amazing muscle power to chase you and get you pregnant from rape.

I wonder what that would be like having a baby with a giant dinosaur penis, anyway, hum, I guess I have something to think about while I go to dream.

Anyway, you don't sound like a 10 year old to me, so don't worry about that, I think anyone on here has good interest in lucid dreaming, so keep going!

He did studies that showed that if you practice a skill in a dream, you would get better at it because the brain makes new connections just as if you were doing the skill awake.

It's this simple: You can't increase your strength of muscle mass while sleeping, however, you can improve how you use your current strength. IE. You can train different skating patterns in your dreams and much other stuff.

w/e

If you have knowledge of power-lifting (not meant as an insult) you know that the olympic power-lifteres are never huge, massive guys.

Strength comes primarily from your nervous systems' ability to recruit more of your existing muscle fibers, rather than just creating new muscle. Hence, olympic power-lifters don't look like huge ripped bodybuilders.

To illustrate my point, think about this:

You can get better at something skillful (playing tennis, golf, whatever) in a dream, and it will be reflected in real life, because the brain and nerves are used to the action.

So you can gain strength, but NOT MUSCLE.

However, all this depends on whether in your dream the weights actually feel heavy.

thank you for a good reply

No problem.

I remember hearing a study about how just imagining certain finger excercises for a certain amount of time increased muscle growth by like 45% or something. So yeah, I don't think it's out of the question.

I remember when I was younger, my mom had a magazine open on the the bathroom floor that had an article about going into a meditative state and then imagining that you are running or working out or something like that and that your body gets alot of the same benefits as it would if you really had worked out. I think it talked about you really having to think it was going on or something so an LD seems like it would work great. I don't know if it was talking about building actual muscle but I would guess it was just talking about stimulation muscles and building connections and stuff. I think it was more about aerobic activities rather than weight training. I don't think it would hurt to try it but I'd rather do things that I can't do in real life in my LDs rather than worrying about things I can do all day.

If you eat too much in your dreams do you wake up fat?

I know that when you're in REM, the muscles you're using in your dreams twitch every now and then, but that's about it. I really really doubt you could create muscle, but then most of the human mind is uncharted and there's not a real definite answer on this.

Na I dont think so. With SP and the fact that your physical body is not being used, I find it unlikely that you can gain muscle. On the other hand, I've heard that you can get better at certain skills if you practice them in your dreams.
