Lucid Dream and Sport

Since 2001 Daniel Erlacher is working on his Ph.D. at the University of Heidelberg in Germany. His research focuses on the control and learning of motor skills. In particular, he is interested in the effect of motor learning during practice in lucid dreams. The main question is: if lucid dreamers practice a sport skill in their lucid dreams (e.g. skateboarding, riding a unicycle, etc.) will this skill improve in the waking state? In recent studies Erlacher could obtain first hints for this hypothesis.
