Dream Learning

[Kza]

Could you, say, study Kung Fu in your sleep, and in waking life, retain the knowlage? It's an interesting question. I think that you can't do the above. Not that you won't retain the knowlage, but your bo staff may turn into a candy cane or something

[Vex Kitten]

Hey, said candy cane can still be a deadly weapon... just sharpen it. I don't think you could become a Kung Fu master through LD training but feel free to prove me wrong.

[Lucid Warrior]

Don't your muscles get electrical impulses in them based on what you're doing in the dream? So you could train yourself in the dream and your muscles would still have some muscle memory.

[Drk Pwnr]

Theoretically, you could master anything in a dream. As long as your DC opponent is always a good challenge. I don't think that should be too hard; the subconscious is always a step ahead of you anyway

[Brilliand]

Probably anything could be taught with shared dreaming, with one exception: your muscles wouldn't actually grow stronger. Anything that is purely mental you could learn. Here's a potential problem: If your teacher isn't present, you could learn things completely wrong if they work in the dream but not in real life. It probably wouldn't be too hard to get your mentor as a DC and learn a stupid jump-kick technique "guaranteed" to knock your opponent unconscious. I don't think it would be a major breakthrough in kung fu teaching, although it could be useful at times.

you would need to be really good at kung-fu other wise it would be no different than me being neo and killing people with kung-fu it is worth a try but i dont expect much good luck though

I love to do Monkey Vaults and huuuge cat leaps...

[Adrenaline Junkie]

I don't see why anything should be impossible in the dream, you can overcome fears in dreams can you not? you could practice such things you have knowledge of but as "Brilliand" said, muscles will not grow, you will not get stronger, and theres another problem, if for example you fight in a dream you can always end it because you have control, you are always re-assured in the dream but in waking life you could get the crap beaten outta ya, but i suppose its would be great for practice if there was a high level of lucidity. I'd love to try somethin like this in a future lucid dream

Its IMPOSSBILE. You cant teach yourself something if you dont know the technique. Its like swinging your arms randomly etc.
