Hey guys

One of my favorite authors, Tim Fer­ris, blogged about lucid dream­ing. Until recently, I wasn’t even aware that he’s into lucid dream­ing. Most impor­tantly, he offers sci­en­tific insight and really cool train­ing meth­ods. So check it out:

From 1994–1995 I had the great plea­sure of train­ing with wrestling leg­end John Smith, 2-time gold medal­ist and 4-time world cham­pion (domes­tic freestyle record of 80–0; inter­na­tional freestyle record of 100–5).

He was famous for his low leg attacks that made even Olympic finals look like text­book demonstrations.

The prob­lem was, of course, that I was in New Hamp­shire at board­ing school and had never met John Smith. I only trained with him 45–60 min­utes per night while I was lucid dream­ing. I went on to have my best career sea­son, which cul­mi­nated with a more than 20–0 record before the national cham­pi­onships…

I’ve since used lucid dream­ing to:

• Accel­er­ate skill acqui­si­tion (exam­ple: yabusame)
• Reac­ti­vate “for­got­ten” lan­guages in less time
• Cul­ti­vate zen-like present-state aware­ness and decrease need­less stress
