Tu Pimp A Caterpillar

Dear Actualizers, Recently I came across a video from TED about lucid dreaming, for people whom do not know what lucid dreaming is; it's a form of dreaming in which the conscious mind takes control over the contents of the dream (you realize you are in a dream). The TED presentation got me interested and I thought; who wouldn't want a virtual reality in which they could create, test, and practice anything they want? The 2 reasons why I started this topic is; first of all, because I think lucid dreaming can become an important assets in self-development, whilst you can practice certain theories, skills and ideas while not actually "using time" from your "productive/awake state". Second of all, I'm not sure though, if it's worth it to study and actualize on this topic because I have never spoken to a person who developed this particular "skill". So I would really like to know if anyone has any experience with lucid dreaming, and if so, if they have any advise, tips, tricks or books on this topic? And also whether or not lucid dreaming actually can be used for self-development? One love, Max
