Ever changed something about yourself with a lucid? I've been meaning to try and gain some insight into my mind, or help to increase a part of my mental ability during a lucid, but never managed it yet. So I was wondering if anyone else had managed this and can share this experience with the rest of us, possibly helping other people to do the same.
The sorts of things I was thinking of were:
• Unlocking hidden memories.
• Learning/practicing a skill.
• Overcoming fears.
• Increasing ability to lucid dream (by asking DGs, reading books, watching videos)
• Increasing mental awareness/concentration/memory/visual awareness/reaction time/etc.
The last one, I think, is the most interesting. The possiblity of increasing these things is feasable, and will help one to recognise people/names better, remember tasks/anniversaries, think quicker, memorise things more efficiently, or simply being more aware of one's surrroundings.
One way of doing the first (unlocking hidden memories) was to set up a video room, with a tv, video and loads of tapes. The tapes would be recordings of my life and I would pick the moment I want to remember. If it works or not, time will tell! :)
I look forward to hearing your experiences.
