Thread: Snowboarding in LD?

I have read before that some people claim to actually do activities such as snowboarding in a lucid dream, and the experiences in their dreams actually improved their real life riding abilities. Are things like that actually true? Or is that just a load of bull?

And one other thing, I know this is in the wrong section, but I am a newbie to this. I have tried a few times, but given up after a week or so without success. What should I do to try to induce my first LD?

Given up after a week?

That's your problem.

You've got to be patient.

I've yet to give up, and it's been far longer than a week.

So stick with doing RC's, try some autosuggestion.

I always have issues remembering to do RC's...what are some common RC's that other people use? I always used to try to pinch the back of my hand or something along those lines.

I personally pinch my nose and try to breathe.

IF it's a dream, it'll work.

If not, well..........

Pinching your hand doesn't really work because you could feel that sensation in a dream.

As for remembering, try to do them everythime you look at a clock, or something along those lines.

I have a watch that beeps every hour, and at every beep I'll take a look at my surroundings and do an RC, which for me is usually pinching my nose and trying to breath.

I'm not so sure about improving real life abilities by exercising said abilities in a dream though, so I can't really say whether it would work or not.

Hey there,

This is a very interesting subject. I'm a huge fan of visualization and have seen results from it, no doubt. I also see dreams as a form of visualization, therefore I wouldn't be surprised at all if this were true.

Here's a cool article by the way.

Let us know of any updates!
