Thread: Using Lucidity to Practice Fighting

I've seen the topic of fighting come up in a few different posts and did a thread search also but (unless i'm too tired to see) I didnt see the answers to a few questions I had..

I've read that it is possible to learn and perfect any skill sport that you have knowledge and experience with while lucid but I would like to know if any of the members here could give any backing to that statement.

Particularly I'm curious to know, if you fight regularly in your LD's, will the muscle-memory or general-memory carry on to the waking world in a real life situation..?

I would really like to learn how to fight in an environment where I dont have to be afraid of taking it too far. I have studied fight theory and had brief encounters with karate training for a few months a couple of years ago but I'm talking about life or death street defense.

Obviously I cant practice this kind of thing in real life but I fear for the day when I have to defend myself because its getting harder and harder to keep the anger i sometimes feel under control. I live a peaceful life and i never cause anyone any discomfort of any kind.. i stick to myself as does my partner and we dont create waves unless they are controlled and for a good cause.

But I live in an area where the trouble-makers are on the front pages of the local newspapers every other week and it is fuelling them to continue their rampaging.. I'm not ignorant enough to think I will go my whole lifetime without every walking down the wrong street at the wrong time and running into a group of pricks, but I know when it does happen the anger will unleash, because such an event will be unjustified and I have a habit of standing up for injustice and I may take it too far and really hurt someone and end up getting myself in trouble with the law or with people I would rather not know. I'm not an angry person in general. In fact i'm quite patient and very understanding but there are one or two things that do effect me enough to trigger the anger inside. Normally the situations are the kind where instant action is not required so I can regain control in a matter of seconds but a day will come where I will want to let it out..

Because of this, I 'need' to practice in order to learn control. As i mentioned, I know the theory of effective street fighting and defense so I'm wondering can this knowledge be put to use while Lucid...

I would appreciate comments from anyone who has used their knowledge and experience of any skill sport to perfect techniques in their dreams and then reap the benefits in the waking life..

I dont need advice on 'how' to fight.. I am considering the option of resorting to Lucidity simply because I stick to myself and dont have the type of friends to practice with and I dont have the time to join a club. It's not the same practicing on a heavy kick bag simply because there is no emotion and no response. I need interactive practice..

Thanks for your time..

I tend to fight in my lucid dreams, and I'm a member of a Taekwondo club. But to me, fighting in a dream is not quite the same as in real life. My opponent(s) tend to get predictable, so it's useless for me to use lucid dreams to practice sparring. Also, gravity usually doesn't work quite as in real life, and my movements can be slower, actually making it harder to punch in the dream than in real life, but not impossible.

You can try, but don't rely on the skills you might acquire in your lucid dreams when it comes to fighting. Joining a club is what I would recommend, is there no way you can get the time? Maybe in the future?

No!

You can't learn how to fight in lucid dreams.

If you are the dreamer and you are in control. It's not a fair fight!

I disagree, you can make it a fair fight.

In fact, I rarely use 'god-powers' because it is not fair on the DCs.

A dream is as fair as you make it, because of this it is perfectly possible to practice fighting in dreams.
However, you will be practicing technique, it won't help your muscles one bit!

You don't have to be in a lucid dream to practice technique... and I don't see how it could help.

In fact, because the "reality" of a dream is at a higher frequency, velocity or vibratory rate, there is no way to make it "fair" or follow the exact same rules as "physical reality".

However, you can learn how to "dream fight" better.

If you make it fair,... it's NOT fair,... and not "real"... not that anything is though.

The only way to learn how to fight is by fighting...

... and I don't think anyone really wants to do that,... do they?

You could get hurt! LOL

I may have a black belt,... but I'm a lover not a fighter.

You don't need to LD to learn how to fight Just clench your fists, find some courage, and just start swinging at your opponent.

What you want to do, I am guessing, is LD to find the courage to actually do something. In real life, you know you really want to kill that jackass, and you play a scene in your head where you are tombstoning that mother f****r into the cement and start beating the crap out of him. While you know you are capable of beating him up, you just can't bring yourself to swing your arm and break his face in real life.

If you want to hit someone/beat them up, do it in your dream. Bring that person you dislike, and just begin hitting them in the face. This'll prepare you for hitting them in real life. If you want to practice fighting (like a fist fight, or karate), that is another story, as the physics in your dream is entirely different and you might be fighting like in the matrix. Sometimes, when I know I can't just hit someone in real life, I do it in a dream. It's fun, and it's definitely tempted me and gave me more courage to actually do so in real life.
