Re: New research suggests people can communicate and practice skills while dreaming
#12Lucid dreaming is a cool concept but I've never been able to pull it off. I still try, though!
It sort of just happened to me a few years ago. It’s neat—flying is fun. (As is the opposite, when it just doesn’t work and I wake up sort of laughing at myself for having spent, presumably, hours jumping around in my dream.)
But at least for me, the price was dreams, the moment I go lucid, ceasing to be self directed. I get that I’m in a movie, and I have to always create the next step. Nothing surprises or horrifies anymore. (If I’m lucid.) I have to kind of create my own magic, which isn’t particularly restful.

Proper sleep definitely isn't optional.

#14Two months ago my partner recorded me speaking in my sleep. I was speaking fluent Mandarin. I always thought sleep time is used for learning (among healing etc), but now I am convinced.
Well you’ll have to give us more. Do you speak Mandarin at all?

Yep, same. The dream gets incredibly boring after you get control of it.

Keep a dream journal. There any many methods for achieving it but if you keep a dream journal long enough you'll start getting consistent lucid dreams.
