You might use the time in the lucid dream to practice a physical skill. There some research that indicates that visualising to perform a physical skills helps you to get better at it. Tim Ferriss advocates to practice physical skills during lucid dreams.
Even if you don't remember having practiced you might still get valuable effect from practicing during your sleep.
There are also other mental activities that give you benefits without having needing to remember them explicitely.
Additionally, lucid dreaming can be intrinsically valuable even if you don't remember it. If the experience is enjoyable, then one of your person-moments will enjoy it. (I'm not sure if it's possible to have a lucid dream and not remember.) But this does not in any way detract from katydee's point.
LaBerge believes it is possible to have a lucid dream and not remember and he is perhaps the foremost authority. However, we could very easily test this and I'll put it on the agenda for things to do once lucid dreaming training starts up around here.
How would you test that?
Posting about it publicly would violate potential double-blindness, but if you want I'll PM you the answer-- or at least the answer that I initially came up with.
I can't speak for Nancy , but I would be interested in such a PM.
I have been practicing mental skills during lucid dreams. That is, I often explain sequence related insights to my dream characters. I'm not sure if it helps.
This is true, but without being able to remember what went on in the dream (or in extreme cases, whether or not you dreamed at all), it will be rather difficult to track your improvements, refine your dreaming technique, determine what types of training give the most valuable returns, etc.
