I have a little personal lucid dream experience myself, but although they are certainly a positive achievement I haven’t quite made it to those “very vivid” lucid dreams yet.
And I was thinking - if vivid lucid dreams are so similar to real life, wouldn’t that mean you could live out all your desires and dreams in them enough to feel content?
Obviously some of our greatest urges are having sex and flying, and you can do both of those things in your dreams.
Another thing that can make some people a bit unhappy is poor social skills, so maybe this can be mostly solved by practicing in lucid dreams as well?
It simply seems like lucid dreams have amazing potential to dramatically boost your life quality.
Yes, of course you can. You can do everything you want in your dreams, even the stuff you couldn’t or wouldn’t do IRL.
The experience is often even more real in dreams than IRL. Whatever you do in your dreams - it feels great
Yeah, well obviously there are some things that require actual material in order to be improved, like learning math (unless you may have some latent memories of that stuff and can recall them) - but motoric skills and general experiences could be practiced in dreams so you won’t feel any great urge to do it in real life anymore.
yes say you were to parkour in a LD, you would have ALOT less fear becuase you know you are dreaming but if you get goodenough then IRL it will be less scarry to attempt certain things you just have to make sure you pratice with everying correct (weight, gravity, how fast you move) and you should be set. Or in a LD you could go to a bar in Dreams and pratice your social skills becuase it will never affect IRL unles you want it to.
if i manage to LD flawlessly i wont be awake much It really seems too good to be true. im a pretty lonely kid and my days are so long and boring (no school)
But coulnt the military use this to train soldiers combat skills?
Not really, I’ve done many things physically in my dreams that couldn’t happen IRL. I can remember what it’s like to push off and fly, even IRL, but it’s not gonna happen. You can’t train your muscles for, say, combat training when you’re not using them. Sure, you might be able to practice the theory, but it’s not going to help your muscles learn it any. Otherwise I myself would be doing that in my dreams. I might to figure out how to do it, but training it isn’t going to do much.
While you can practice some skills, you won’t really be able to learn them because without actually knowing how to do parkour you can’t have a true dream about it. It wouldn’t feel the same in IRL as it would in a LD
Not necessarily. While you can’t train your muscle mass, you can train your reflexes. When we move in dream, electrical impulses are sent to our muscles. While they are being blocked by SP, we still do remember them after waking up. This means, that if you practice a martial arts fighting sequence in dreams, it may help you to succeed at it IRL.
True, still doesn’t improve strength though. Also, I often don’t feel much in my dreams, as they’re pretty vague. Even if I do such things, I’m not likely to feel them, and thus it might be hard to remember that feeling IWL. Also, I was taking into account dream physics. I’ve quite a lot of FLDs, so I doubt gravity and such would be affecting me in the dream like WL.
Not saying it’s not worth a shot though, still can learn something useful.
Yeah, I actually pretty much had a lucid dream a few days ago, and despite waking up before I could really do anything it still left me fairly exhilarated.
I can hardly imagine what professional lucid dreamers must feel like, they must feel a wonderful rush of happiness and richness in their lives almost everyday.
In fact just practising Lucid Living gives you this warm and fuzzy feeling - there’s something very hypnotic and relaxing about being in this constant LL meditation state.
I’m just going to comment about the soldier training thingy. Actually, lucid dreams could be used for fast military training. If soldiers would do training in waking life (the physical part), and then at the night time they would practice reflexes and theory. That would boost the training by 2x.
Why the government/military does not use it?
One reason - lucid dreams make you have spiritual awakenings and experiences. These experiences increase the self-awareness and show one fact to the people - that we should all be equal. That realization is the least thing people at the government want for the people. They want us to live in a hierarchy-based system. Imagine everybody thinking that we should all be equal - there would be no war, thus, no need for military programs at all.
Imagine all soldiers being able to lucid dream - a good percent of them would have these kind of experiences - it’s just a matter of time.
Yes, I also thought something as this… It is a great thing, LDs… Once I thought that you could maybe use it to get off drugs, but that seems unlikely, because as far I know drugs are ‘activated’ by your body which will demand it. Unless your dreams can imitate these drugs to fool yoyr body.
Actually, we feel the effects of drugs once a chemical substance deals with a certain receptor in our brain (example - when you smoke marijuana, THC vaporates, gets into your lungs, then into your bloodstream, then into your brain - and that’s where it bounds to the THC receptors). I believe all these receptors can be activated by stimulating the brain in some ways (without the use of any physical substance) - would that be lucid dreaming?
One thing is for sure, in lucid dreams if you take drugs you will actually feel like you’ve taken them (ofcourse if you have taken them before in WL), and I think drug addicts could live without the drug itself if they feel ‘high’ (example - heroin addicts taking normabella pills with some alcohol, it makes them feel like they’re on heroin, but they actually aren’t, and most of them could live on that).
