How To Practice Skills While Lucid

Do you ever wonder what Lebron James dreams about? I wonder if he uses his dreams to improve his performance in the game. I am willing to bet money that he does.  In this episode, Eric Spirko and I talk about practicing skills in your dreams and enhancing athletic performance in waking life using lucid dream training (LDT). There is now an understanding of how visualization impacts performance and confidence, and there is research that lucid dreaming can be even more impactful for this reason. It is not only a visualization but a fully immersive practice environment. Lucid dreaming is also an exercise of patience and persistence. Lucid dreaming, like sports, is a skill and you need consistent practice to become good at it. Eric and I also talk about how to use dreams for physical and emotional healing.
