Thread: Task of the Month for November 2014

Well - I hope so, I hope it would. But I only managed twice to even give it a try. First was quite a long while back, and that one last week, which didn't immediately break down, had some weird physics. Like the dart flying in slow motion, me being unsure about the proportions, distance of the oche for instance, and I've been wary to trust the gravity. Haha - definitely dream-gravity is not half-gravity, though.
Been a bit blurry, too, optically, and it didn't last for long, but I won't give up just yet. There's been a feature on German TV about LDing, and they had a professional gymnast praising lucid training for it, including for double bars, or how it's called in English. Anyway - you need correct gravity for that as well.
So more realism should do the trick. I "dream of" (irl) doing an OBE-style WILD, and then animating my "sleeping body" to be my personal trainer, or at least to watch her throw, see if I can identify mistakes. Best would be double perspective then, of course, but third would be great as well - watching myself.
So many ideas - like maybe let her "overlay me", while throwing, imagining, she'd shape my throw, while doing it, if that's comprehensible, what I mean. And doing slow-mo, but the throw, not the path of the dart, and notice any little flaws.

Probably I'll put up a camera in real life as the next step, though.

Edit: While I'm at it, with off-topicing: I won my last ranking event on Saturday, three wins 3:0, 3:0, 3:1 and a loss 2:3. Very happy - that puts me in the A league now.

I think when practicing those skills during a lucid dream you could gain more experience in dream control rather than any other thing. The camera idea during your WL is a good option as I see it, and much better if it's one of those that can catch thousands of frames per second, I think that could give you a more accurate perspective into what's really happening.

Sorry to stay off-topic... any other attempts so far?
