Appreciate the response. This part you wrote here kinda touches on the main question i was trying to convey. It seems as though my dreams are almost always "strange or out of the ordinary," so why doesn't that automatically trigger my mind to ask "hey, is this a dream" rather than requiring some form of reality check to make the distinction? Other thing i was wondering, how possible is it to acquire or perfect a skill using LD? For example, if i was a good archer and wanted to become an outstanding one - could i do so by "practicing" more within a dream?
