So a long time ago I watched a video on lucid dreaming and thought it was really cool and could help you learn skiing and skateboarding tricks.

in Henriks oil and water part he says he also has lucid dreams about skiing. I've done some research on them and they arnt easy to have. I was just wondering if anyone here has succeeded in this

I tried to get into it years ago, but it is really hard. I only ever do it by accident now, but it's the greatest. But I'm not so sure it could help you learn tricks. To me, the physics are all fucked when I dream ski

I have a bad sleep schedule and I hardly ever have dreams nowadays. 2 nights ago I had a dream that it was opening weekend at my home mountain. I kinda just buttered around the whole time, but it felt like actual skiing. I could see how it could help. I also woke up in tears because I realized opening weekend isn't for another month and a half for me.

If I could ever figure out how it would be great to ski in my dreams and practice tricks. But it kinda freaks me out as well since I don't want to get the old hag syndrome where it feels like someone is trying to grab you.

I had one a couple years back. However I also had some sleep paralysis the next morning which was pretty scary.

Anyone remember the SpongeBob episode where SpongeBob and Patrick were in the dream and SpongeBob became the skyscraper? As I can recall that's what I tried to do. It didn't work.

I was used to all the time when I was younger, thought it was pretty normal. I never tried to induce once, Just kind of there for the ride.

Did you try to make a million copies of yourself.

it seems like a lot of people have actually succeeded so I'm going to try for a week or so.

They aren't lucid dreams but I had never done cork 7 before and then I had a dream of me doing it and so I tried it and stuck it and I have learned a ton of tricks like this. (claim)

I've been trying to get into it for a while now, I now have lucid dreams a couple times a month, It takes a surprising amount of time and genuine effort. The first thing you need to do is start a dream log and work on your dream recall. Then you can start researching induction techniques and finding what works with you. I've found that in order to have good lucid dreams I need to be recording my dreams in a journal everyday, with school and skiing and shit, it's really hard to find time to write down detailed dreams in the morning, if you want to get good you have to be dedicated.

I have them every once in a while but it tends to happen pretty randomly. The easiest thing to do is set an alarm and wake yourself up early, then sit there and think about it right before you go back to sleep. Also you can make it a habit to check things like clocks in real life. They never make sense in dreams. Check a clock throughout the day for a few days and consciously ask yourself if you're dreaming. Eventually you'll get the habit of doing it and try it in a dream and see that the time is bogus or something, then you'll become lucid.

Can't really say if it has helped my skiing, but man it's fun as hell to be able to pull ridiculous tricks you'd never imagine trying in real life (and do other... stuff)

Skiing dreams are the absolute best. A couple nights ago a had a dream and I went of this small jump but did what felt like the steeziest front flip ever. Alarm woke me up a couple minutes later and I raged.

Try using a lucid anchor. For example, you can put a glass of water at your nightstand and drink out of it before you go to bed and affirm in your mind that you will remember your dreams, and then repeat that action when you wake up.

I had a lucid dream once, thought I was at a rail jam but then realized something was off and it must be a dream, so I decided to change the dream and go skiing with some pros. #score

How does that make you remember your dreams?

Just the thought of sleep paralysis terrifies me out of trying this.

Your brain naturally rids itself of dreams because they seem to be useless memories, I'm not sure exactly how it works and I don't think anyone really does but this method works for a lot of people. Really you are just training your brain to remember dreams rather than forget them. I think that doing an action before you sleep and doing it when you wake up gives you reference points to sandwich your dreams between and remember the dreams that occurred between those events

i havent quite had lucid dreams, but i think the combination of skiing in real life and watching pro's POV footage has made me have some epicly fun dreams where i am just shredding park. like max spin i can do in real life is a 5 and in these dreams i am throwing every jump trick i can think of... sw cork 7, cork 9, rodeos, big floaty cork 3s.... really cool, but i dont have full control over things so i wouldnt call them lucid. The dreams have definitely encouraged me to try new tricks and have made me understand the rotations a bit better. still too afraid to try the corked stuff on snow cause im a bitch!
