      skill building in lucid dreaming

      would it be worthwhile to practice piano or studying for a test while dreaming? or would the piano keys be all mixed up and the answers wrong? are the results reliable?

      Maby study for a test, but think about it

      you might not even have a lucid this week or next week or whatever

      In EWOLD, LeBarge describes people practicing things and getting better at them; I think one of the examples was a music recital. I don't know about studying tho. Probably better do that while you're awake, and make sure you get enough sleep afterwards so it sticks.

      Stephen LaBerge cites multiple examples of people practicing real-life skills while lucid and achieving notable improvement in their waking lives.

      One was a woman who needed to practice ballet, but had injured her ankle.
      Another who wanted to improve his martial art.
      And even a man who was nervous about a trumpet performance, and so practiced.


      Many people use lucid dreaming for rehearsal, and believe me, it works surprisingly well.
      Are you dreaming?

      I do think this is possible but it seems to work better with some skills than others. For example, I have used LDs to practice speeches (my fear) and to practice archery (improved very quickly thanks to LD) but for me it won't work on musical instruments. I think the more motor activity is involved and less sensory activity, the better.

      The keys will sound the way that you think they should sound, ie. if you believe that you are playing it correctly, then it will sound correct, even if you hit the wrong keys. If you already know it and just need practice perfecting it, then it should work.
