I feel like dreams played an important part in me learning things like Dancing, bowling, boxing, pool, Things where a particular physical movement and timing was involved. I have also solved a lot of problems that required logic in dreams. I wonder if it is possible to train ourselves to drift into a dream mode aimed at accomplishing a particular thing?
