Irken, I think your right about the learning part. I don't think we could learn in our dreams but perhaps we could practiced already learned tasks. It's the repitition that cements it in our minds.

Ahh ya I kinda figured you might've meant something different. Still about the guitar thing I'm not sure that practicing in a lucid dream would help in waking life but I don't know. You'd likely play some really cool music and forget to practice in your dream. Or if you practice martial arts you might instead want to fight a bunch of kung fu dudes in your dream instead of practicing. Just a thought.
