      No, because to gain muscle, you actually have to be working them (your muscles). Unless you could work out while you're dreaming, but that would be weird, and impossible.

      Nothings impossible... just unlikely...

      Unless you superglue weights to your hands at night, that is!

      Impossible. You'd have to tie weights to your hands when you sleep. Somehow, get over sleep peralysis and be able to move. Do the motions in your dream and hope you're doing them while lying down. Even though you would be LYING down, not being able to use gravity to your advantage.

      I'm going to say no, you can't workout while dreaming.

      EDIT: Actually, while you sleepwalk I suppose it's possible, except I'm pretty sure you can't get lucid during this point of your sleep, so the odds at actually working out are VERY VERY slim.

      Just workout IRL like normal people...

      Your brain creates the sensation of pain for you, based on previous experiances.
      Often you don't even feel pain, I know I usually don't, that's why I don't mind doing crazy stuff. And If you wake up and remember your dream and have pain where you got shot, that is still your brain creating an illusion of pain, unless your dog stepped on your nuts while you were asleep.
      I had a strange dream last night...

      nah... because of sleep paralysis, the stimulation would be minimal, most likely.

      Muscle growth and pain are very. very different.
      Pain can be induced through placebo, and thus can be replicated by a dream--it's just a sensation, not a physical change.
      Muscle growth is the rebuilding of muscle tissues damaged while working out. The actual physical exertion is important to the process. Now, it is possible that a similar placebo effect could somewhat stimulate muscle growth, but the effect would be extremely limited, if present at all.
      Not to mention, working out in an LD would be frightfully boring.
      Just work out during the day, it's not like it's that big of a deal.

      Now this, I agree with (especially the stated uncertainty). The physical limits of placebo are, as yet, uncharted. There is a big enough area of undetermined possibility to at least consider it.

      And I don&#39;t see why people are adding the advice to "just work out in real life." I think his question is sound and doesn&#39;t imply that he&#39;d rather work out in dreams than in waking life. He&#39;s just asking about the physical possibility, isn&#39;t he?

      It is proven that the muscles do react while in a sleep state or a meditative state on the other hand actually gaining large amounts of muscle mass is improbable.

      Cool. I&#39;ve always wanted to know this but was to afraid to ask ..
      How about this, can you do your homework in a LD? I think it&#39;s possible, if you&#39;ve got one hell of a dream recall

      I highly doubt you could do your homework, and gaining muscle is out of the question, but I think that getting better coordination adn improving your muscle control may be possible, as that is more psycological than anything, and just involves better neuro-signaling. Since your brain doesn&#39;t differenciate between immagination and the real thing, you probably could improve muscle control stuff like balance and hand-eye coordination.

      I&#39;m planning to write a big fat book and it would be really awesome if I could live through scenes so I would know how it felt &#33; That is of course, if the DC&#39;s respond to me as IRL..

      Haha, I was thinking the same thing. Spelling muscle wrong, and wanting to do it in your dreams? Thats obviously a kids fantasy. Anyways, back on topic please.

      Who really knows. Try it and see.

      Maybe you could pioneer a whole new and astounding way to pump people up ... a way to help those with muscular problems or diseases gain back some muscle through dreams.

      If ever you do pioneer such a method and become crazy rich... remember and reward those who encouraged you in the beginning.

      It&#39;s actually very possible. I&#39;ve read about Navy SEALs doing evolutions while sleeping. At Basic underwater/SEAL training, (BUD/S) the 3rd week of trainng is known as Hell Week. The trainees are given about a total of 14 hours of sleep.....for the entire week. They sometimes sleep while doing intense training because there brain shuts down from sleep deprevation but their body keeps on moving.

      Anyways, not to get off topic When you&#39;re shot in a dream, you&#39;re not actually getting hurt. It&#39;s all in your mind. It&#39;s so realistic that your brain thinks you&#39;re getting hurt.

      But that&#39;s a very different situation--they&#39;re not gradually going to sleep, and they&#39;re not sleeping healthily. They&#39;re literally slipping into sleep because their mind cannot physically stay awake any more, and the reason that they&#39;re still moving is because sleep paralysis doesn&#39;t set in since they&#39;re in a very light level of sleep. When they drift off like that, it won&#39;t actually make them feel more rested.
      So yeah, again, possible but not convenient or workable.
      If you sleep deprive yourself like that on a regular basis, you will either have a massive mental breakdown or possibly even die.
      Furthermore, you wouldn&#39;t be dreaming in this state so much as hallucinating. Imagine being really, really drunk, to the point where you&#39;re having a hard time distinguishing what&#39;s real and what&#39;s not. You&#39;re not really hallucinating so much as you are having trouble discerning what you&#39;re seeing, but you get the idea.
