I am curious to know, what are some practical uses that you have used Lucid Dreaming for.

A few on mine are:

\*Studying for Tests  
\*Practicing Sports

Since I have heard the material at least once my subconsious is familiar with it. So I created a DC that new all the answers and had him quiz me.

How well did it work, and what was the topic? That sounds like a pretty neat idea.

It worked quite well and the topic for which I was studying was Mythology, we had to memorize character names and what they did.

that revising idea is brilliant. And so is practising instruments;  
Sometimes, when I am having trouble learning a piece of music, I use Bwgen to get into a theta state and imagine playing the piece, getting the hand position right etc. It works well actually.

You could practice public speaking. Or other things like that (like asking a girl out on a date).

It could help with some other fears (eg. fear of spiders, fear of heights, fear of bake beans) too.

Fixing any of life’s problems. Learning about things or asking a DC for help with a problem. For me I have an illness that can’t be treated, I received an answer of a herb I could use to alleviate the problem (lavender! Tea Tree oil! 😉 )

I have used my newfound skills from dreaming to make a few major alterations in my life. I have been having a few problems with some of my colleagues over the past year or so (personality conflicts) and used my dreams to reconcile my own personality issues to overcome this. In short, I now take a much different approach and am generally more outspoken and forthright with people. If someone irks me, I ask them why they irked me (without pointing fingers or laying blame). I have found that the quality of my life has increased in this respect, so much so that I really find it difficult to convey. I even find social situations such as introducing myself and remembering peoples names to be easier. In a sense, I have rediscovered myself and my personality, and feel much more comfortable with who I am as a person and how I relate to people.

Yeah I feel the same about this. I had few interesting thoughts in LDing, that changed a lot in my thinking, and opinions about others. I also received a very philosophical letters from my grandpa in LD, I was really shocked how well written and true it was, it said all about my life and personality in one page. Must have been my subconsess (spelling?) trying to tell me something (which I hope understood right hehe) 😄

I hear ya. I think one of the most noble uses of lucid dreaming are for bettering our own personalities and how we view reality, handle situations and interact with people. After all, you can’t change the entire world, but when you change a small part of your personality it certainly seems possible.

As for learning, LD and D seem like beneficial tools. This night I dreamed I had a discussion with a guy about the other names for “acusative object” and “dative object”. He told me it was “direct object” and “indirect object” which is right. I hadn’t heard those two names for quite a while and I know that if someone would have asked me yesterday for those names, I wouldn’t have known the answer, but thanks to my dream they are now stuck deeper down in my memory.

Ive skated for 5 years and I know basically exactly how physics on a skateboard work and how a skateboard moves. So in my dreams I can practice skateboarding realistically

I daydream to do what HradSka and Snape do.  
I want to find myself in my dreams so that I can be with me IRL. :content:  
I had few low-lucidity dreams and always tryed to explore myself.  
Another practical use could be improving your sexual performance. :content: hehehehe
