Thread: Question Thats Getting To Me

i believe, yes, it is possible to practice real life skills in dream.

i'm not sure how you will be able to practice snowboarding though. i skateboard, and most of the tricks you learn you have to get into your muscle memory, and since you're dreaming your not using any muscles. you can, however, practice the mental parts of snowboarding such as working up the courage to completely commit to a backflip or go for the big rail.

from what i've read, the things you can practice are more mental than physical things. i hope this helped

oh. and btw, welcome to the forums

thanks! and acutally its not snowboarding although i love snowboarding and also skateboarding but i want to be able to practice tennis mostly in my dreams and also with muscle memory if u practiced it in ur dreams and were concious of what u were doing then woulldnt that be building up ur muscle memory?

you know, i'm not sure. i think with muscle memory you have to learn by doing, so it gets into your subconscious. when you are dreaming i think it would be more like thinking about how you would do it. like where you would place you feet or where you would put your weight. things like that. but its worth a try.

anyway: i was actually playing to use my lucid dreams to help me out with skateboarding. help me work of the nerve to go for big stairs and stuff like that. let me know how it works out for you. i'm kind of interested now.

ight and just out of curiousity what the biggest stair case uve done?

Hey guys,

As for the question about learning during lucid dreamnig, the answer is yes. You CAN learn or practice a skill during a lucid dream and it will carry over into your waking life. Most skills involve buiding comfort to doing certain actions a specific way - a routine of sorts.

You can train your mind through actions to become accustomed do doing something a certain way (throwing a ball, dancing, etc.). The more you practice, the more familiar it feels, the easier it is to perform the action, which leads to more control, and finally capablilty to do it better.

Now, if this action requires a certain strength (muscle) to achieve, that is something you have to practice in real life, obviously. You can't lucid dream about lifting weights and expect to build muscle tissue. Although, there is some who believe it is possilble to heal your body of certain ailments through lucid dreaming (mind over matter sorta thing). If this is possible, then why not influence the building of muscle tissue?
