Have any of you “professionals” ever studied for exams during a dream. It sounds like a good idea since I am always busy with other extra curricular activities in real life.
I’ve never done it, but you can do ANYTHING in a LD after all
I once did my kung fu lessons in my a ld and that really helped the next lesson in real life.
School lessons maybe possible to but ld is short so whats the big profit!!
Very very very highly doubt it. The reason why is because it is almost impossible to read in lucid dreaming. When you look at words and paragraphs in dreams, they change every time you look at them. And what is actaully there often makes no sense at all. It would be like trying to read:
02KSD0213NHFASD
I don’t know if this is true for other people. But the more you try to look at writing in dreams, that harder it gets to read it.
And if you are talking about audio studying, that is also probably doubtful. Hearing something constantly from a outside source will most likely knock you out of lucidity very quickly.
i was going to ask about martial arts before i saw your post. But the thing is… Can you feel pain in an ld?
and is everything exactly as it should be in an LD? For example… peoples elbow joins and pressure point and stuff like that?
You CAN read in LD’s. I’ve read a number of things, and have even brought back the following quote form an LD:
‘Who knew in Act 6, M_______ was going to kill Angelo?’
The M_____ was illegible, and I couldn’t read it.
I actually read and re-read it a number of times in that dream. It was in very bad handwritting (which I why I couldn’t read the ‘M’) word).
(hell, for the record I’d also like to point that closing your eyes doesn’t mean you’re goign to wake up [though it can], light switches can work in dreams fine and clocks can look perfectly normal - it’s all down to expectations)
Exidenz that depends on several things…like your personal talent of lucidity, brain chemistry etc.
But yes then lesson i was paractising needed timing and pressure and balance and i repeated it and at that next lesson the teacher said "ok, we gonne c now who have practised at home the last lesson and instructions.
I did very well like in my dream, it felt the same and he said yes jeff i can c u did you rehursals and practising at home. Well i just nodded, i couldnt say…sensei i trained in my dreams, they prob had thought iam nuts or a joker. But it really worked. I tried after that sotimes again, but with mixed results. so its not always ehm succesful. But sure 50% of the time was.
Dont do kungfu any longer.
Lol I wish I could. I tried to find a way to learn in my LDs, but I found that most of the time it’s too inconhert to be able to learn anything or study anything.
But actions, i think it works better like Jeff did with KungFu.
Not just words, logic, etc. It doesn’t work.
Once I can Lucid Dream at will I will probably try to study for stuff. Like go back to a classroom during a lecture or somthing. After all the subconscious picks up more then the conscious right? I would think you could recall subconscious stuff pretty well in a LD…I think
ive alwasy wanted to know can you practice playing the guitar in a lucid dream? i mean it would be great to learn something new or something youve been meaning to improve. i hardly get time to play these days so it would be great if i could use some of my dream time to improve my chops. anyone know if this is possible???
Thanks
Maybe it’s almost impossible to learn something by reading, but maybe you could study by asking a DC to talk to you about whatever it is you’re trying to learn…
It might, I dont know personally. Thats a good idea! I have in the past had a ND where I played a banjo and it sounded like a violin. But that was a ND dunno about a LD. I would expect it to work because you play a guitar and if it is in tune, the strings and fingerings will pretty much stay the same. So in your mind you know how it is “suppost” to sound so you can improve from your knowledge of how it should sound. But I think if you try somthing new it might not sound right because your mind has never heard that before from a guitar so it will make somthing up. Experiment and tell us how it goes
you could reinnact historic events maybe if you were studying a historical subject… but it seems you’d have to know the information anyway for the reinactment to be accurate. seems like it would be much more reliable just to study while awake
I don’t know if any of this stuff is really possible. My subconcious has really only helped me with something once in my dreams. It was someone’s name. For about a week I was trying to remember this person’s name, and then I was in the middle of a dream, and then I saw the person and the name immediatly came out of my mouth with ease. When I woke up I remembered that part of my dream and remembered the name.
Can’t remember the name anymore. Can’t even remember who’s name I was trying to remember.
Exactly my thoughts to. As long as you can keep lucidity and concentration. I belive that everybody has photographic memmory, but only some are able to access it. Being lucid though, you are fully able to let a DC read it to you (since you have full access to you’r subconscious(sp?)).
I don’t know if it’s possible to study history and such things, but maybe one can get creative solutions for homework problems, in math, or physics, or maybe for an essay…
Hey Pppls!
This is one cool topic! Dreams can be so handy for big assignments! I always call on them for guidance!
I’m studying to be a Primary School Teacher you see. It’s a four year degree! Each time I dream, I get such beautiful guidance, that even the lamest of work pieces, can be exciting! Infact i was even guided to do this course, by my dreams!
Okay. So a few examples. I don’t really spend much of my lucid time dreaming on school work, but I simply ask for guidance on my assignmetns before I go to sleep.
I had to do an essay on the factors, affecting children’s learning in schools. My dream was of watching this beautiful projection/slideshow. In it, I saw a person who’d built all these walls around them. They hoped that it would keep out, everyone else. it was like a security blanket. But no matter how big the walls were, these monsters could still reach through. The energy and terror they sent through, were immense! Next scene, I’m sitting ther,e in the cinema, taking that all in as a amovie! Everyone gets really freaked out by it all, and is walking out of the cinema!
I woke and instantly know. That I had to writ emy essay on “fear” as an emotional factor, which influences how children grow throughs chool. And fear is such an issue right, You turn to the newspaper, and what do you see, you see devestating pictures of war, etc. Imagine yourself as a kid again, and all the little walls you build up to protect yourself. What a useful and significant dream!
Next up! Study of Society and Environment subject. I had to write an essay abotu a local issue. I live in Australia, and found ymself dreaming of an ancient Aboriginal boy, perhaps roughly my age. He was there at the fence of my property, blowing into this absolutely massive tube. The vibrations echoing through this huge instrument, and there was me adding another level of vibration to his music.
I woke. Knowing that I had to write about “Aboriginal Reconciliation” as a “local issue”. Sure it may not be in the papers all that much, but there’s nod oubting it’s vast importance. The aboriuginal people have lived on this land, Australia, for 40,000 years, and you can imagine the pain and suffering that they experienced from Australia’s colonoisation by Britian. I was later shown ind reams, the first hand suffering, and just how deep that pain lives on, the pain experienced by the “stolen generations” of aboriginla people, children seperated from their parents, and made to live elsewhere… Yes. I learnt a secret history, and experienced it on a deeper level than words could ever describe… As I was to learn, aboriginal people even lived in ym local region, and these dreams encouraged me to go further and learn more abotu that story…
Another one. perhaps most recently, was a simpel meditation. (I had to write a science essay, and meditating on it, saw a vision of these “plasma” symbols, I use in a daily meditation. Following up on this, I learnt that there are not only three states of amtter, liquids, solids and gases, but that the fourth state, “plasma” makes up 99% of teh matter int he universe.
Fascinating! Yes. Follow your dreams for your assignmetns and exams. Make learning beautiful again. Discover your latent creativity, and follow the path of learning, that the soul wishes to travel!
Dream on!
Nick
I was thinking it’d be great to write an article on this topic! With slightly better slightly better spelling than my previous post.
Look forward to hearing other people’s experiences!

Hey guys,
A few months ago I randomly had a lucid dream, before I knew anything about it or how to do it. So, now I am trying to learn how to do it again. Anyway, in one of the scenarios, there was a band in my living room and I went up and jammed on guitar with them. I remember it was just like playing in real life, with the same fingerings and same restrictions (like I couldn’t stretch my fingers more than I could in real life). So yes, I think you can practice guitar in your LD. I even remembered what I played after I woke up and could repeat it easily.
I’m sure you could just think about the subject. Go over it in your mind. Not neccesarily read a book or something. If you didn’t know something, you wouldn’t be able to study it, but you would be able to remember or regurgitate facts faster by practising in your LDs for sure.
