Yah, because some how muscle memory works in dreams. How, i don't know? |

I have read somewhere, that if you train in LD (something like dancing, playing instruments), you will have same skills when woken up. Is it true? |
|
My opinion:
*Lucid Dreams, OBEs, Astral Projections are one and the same.
*There are no levels of lucidity. Quality changes if you apply some deepening.
*Lucid Dreams do not last more than 20 minutes.
*Wolves are beautiful.

Improving physical skills while not moving seems quite illogical to me, but it might be possible to compose a song (while playing an instrument) in a dream. So in my opinion, it's not true. |

you can learns load of things that are both physical and with your mind |

According to Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming, the nerual networks used to control the muscles are activated in exactly the same way as when doing it in the real world, even though the muscles themselves are out of action. |

Most of the literature seems to suggest that physical actions are trainable in dreams. |

I remeber seeing a report once on a study about training. People who skipped their workout once a week, and just watched it on tape and imagined themselves doing it, had better results than people who actually worked out that extra day. |

Yes you can practice other things in dreams. Believe it or not I learned to sing from mine. Since there are no physical constraints in dreams I can easily hear what I should sound like when singing--so I know exactly what to shoot for when I do it IRL, if that makes sense. |

Sort of. Assuming you are lucid, you could even subconsciously make it so easily on yourself that you really aren't doing much of anything, which of course wouldn't be of any real life benefit. But I can testify to the fact that if you let yourself be a little challenged in a dream when trying something physically possible, you'll do better at it in real life. |

Technically speaking yes, practically speaking no. Yes it's the same neural connections working but that doesn't necessarily mean you learn anything. Your dreams don't calculate physics in a way that will help you train for anything physical. That said, I have no doubt that dreams can boost your confidence in physical activity. From what I've heard half of sports is simply your attitude. |

"I know that I am mortal by nature, and ephemeral; but when I trace at my pleasure the windings to and fro of the heavenly bodies I no longer touch the earth with my feet: I stand in the presence of Zeus himself and take my fill of ambrosia, food of the gods." - Claudius Ptolemy
I agree with dreams being a handy place to practise skills, but if you don't already have a fairly good idea of what you're doing I'm not certain if you would benefit much. |
|
I'd rather be asleep and living than awake and dreaming.

If your brain is doing exactly the same thing as it does when it's learning normally, then you are definitely learning, even if asleep. |

Today has been an excellent day.
Your brain will practice what you have learned during waking state. Simple as that. Doesn't matter if it's chess, music, or sex. I don't know if there's any difference between LD and non-LD "practice sessions." The brain 'll practice anyhow. |

I guess in some cases this would work. If you are learning to play a song on the piano, if you have a stable enough dream, you could create a piano and play on it. |
|
According to Robert Moss' book The History of Dreaming, Dmitri Mendeleev got his idea to organize the elements in the Periodic Table from a dream. So I would say that you can practice science or math problems in a dream, consciously or unconsciously, on top of creative stuff like performing or music. |

Interesting. And apparently August Kekulé discovered the benzene structure in a dream. Stephen LaBerge references this in his book Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming. |

Similar to what LaBerge mentions... several of the books that I have on the human brain mention a study in which athletes were able to increase muscle size and strength by visualizing a weight lifting routine. The group that used only visualization was compared to a group that actually did the routine. If I remember correctly, the visualization group had something like a 20% gain in strength and size in comparison to the group that actually did the routine. Amazing that there was any gain at all! My hunch is that any type of visualization or LD training will improve a given task or skill. I have done some visualization work in the past and LDs are on a totally different level in terms of vividness and the sense of actually doing the task. I can only imagine that it would be a worthwhile venture to practice or train in an LD. |
