      Better skills in LD

      I haven't had a LD yet, but I was wondering if you're better at things in LD. For example, I play guitar and I was wondering if I could be a better player in my dreams, and then in turn be a better player in real life.

      yes

      LaBerge writes about this possibility.
      Paul Tholey apparently trained the German ski team to use LDs to rehearse.

      Apparently same neural pathways are involved for both waking and dream activity, its just that major muscle movement is suppressed in sleep paralysis.

      Also, many LDers encounter great music in dreams, so this might also open up to you.

      I have had a single experience, that I remember, where I did something in a dream and it helped improve my RL skill. I was not lucid at the time.
      I was on a soccer team in High School, and I couldn't take long distance shots well. But in my dream, I took them over and over from outside the 18'. Well, the next day at practice, I took a few shots from where I had in my dream, and I was placing them at the top of the net, just under the goal post. It felt pretty amazing.

      Hmm, I think it only helps experiences, rather than skills... I've played both piano and guitar in dreams, both times I played something I hadnt ever played before, therefore must've been generated in my head. Doing stuff infront of an audience is different though, though since they're not real, you still might be less worried about it than in real life, especially as whatever you're doing infront of them will be 100000x better than in real life too

      I think its true that skills can be practised in a dream, only you probably cant get physically fitter since you cant move at all.

      But for skills which can be simulated using mostly thought and require some degree of accuracy (skiing, golf, archery), these can be enhanced my practising in an LD.

      Twice I have used dreams for bettering my art, so I guess it will be the same for music. Practise makes perfect, and you have 8 hours every night which you wouldnt otherwise be using

      Every time I've played it, I havent actually 'played it' though, Ive just thought about the sound I want to make, and imagined up the gestures, if you see what I mean.

      I think it means most when you hear it in your dreams
