After seeing a discussion on LD on facebook 3 or 4 days ago i have been researching it in detail as i am quite interested. Of course i found credible information mixed with down right crazy information and want to know whats real and whats not about LD. Obviously it can be established that lucid dreaming is possible by anyone but which of these claims can be believed/rubbished?

- i read its possible to get over fears such as heights
- i read that its possible to increase motory skills to the extent of learning from scratch how to drive a car
- that its possible and just as effective to practice sports while lucid dreaming
- from a published book it claimed that a student experienced in LD tried an experiment with his female friend, where she asked him to locate her scar while LD and led him to believe it was on her left side of her back, in his lucid dream he was able to discover it was in a different spot proving that the image of her wasn't just his perception but what she was in real life. Although it stated different experiments failed, maybe because these two were more emotionally connected.

-I read somewhere Robert Monroe claimed he had LD'D for 100years at a time over 2 hours in real life time
- i read that in an experiment one student picked out an image, and while sleeping they constantly thought of that image, and a group of other students had to try pick up the signal and say the image, while one student dreamt about trees which is what it was.

- The ability to process 1million worlds per minute, ok this one sounded quite cool but surely can't happen. The article claimed it was possible to have a machine basically flash a million words in front of your eyes in a minute(in real life) and this would work similar to subliminal advertising and you would remember nothing, however you could then lucid dream and say if it was a one miillion word book, you could then talk to the author in your dream and they could answer any question that has been covered in what has been flashed to you.

-shared dreaming? i have done a bit of reading and a lot of people seem to think its possible/say they've done it, obviously it one of those things most people are unlikely to believe unless they experience it themselves. im no different. But whats your view?

-Then there is this, ill copy/paste because i dont fully understand, although looks like the author is implying you can move physical objects lol

"2.21. How can I use Dreams to affect physical matter?

This can be done in the Precognitive field. When you are in a Precognitive Lucid Dream, all you need to do is try to move objects around, or make various marks on other people. Not only do you have the ability to move matter, you can also create electricity, magnetic fields, light, heat, sound and matter. You can also form and dissolve matter. You can do this on the lowest plane, the physical plane in the precognitive field. Being in the physical plane is usually called OOBE (Out of Body Experience). But you don't need to be in the precognitive field to affect matter, being in the physical plane is enough. So more on these subjects will be discussed in my Out of Body Experience FAQ."


Thanks if you managed to read all that, I just want to know what of that is bullsh%$ and what is possible/how possible is it
