Creative problem solving

[devil4deed]

Can I know that in a lucid dream I have a lot of fun and adventure and also found out the creative potential of our dreams................

I want to know that have anyone used the lucid dreaming skills for creative problem solving or solving a problem of Maths and science they were feeling difficult to solve and is this possible to read a chapter from a book and se the whole chapter in your lucid dream TV in audio and videos (AV)
If it were possible I will continue persuing lucid dreaming skills

I believe the dream world created by your mind is based on the real world so I'm sure you can solve problems in your dreams. Although I think it's hard to read and write in a dream but I may be wrong. Also, even if you solve the problem, you are going to have to remember it until you can wake up and write it down! :[

There have been stories of problem solving in dreams. One of the first modern models of atoms came to the person in a dream.

Mathematical Genius & Dreamer- Srinivasa Ramanujan

Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920) was one of India's greatest mathematical geniuses. He made substantial contributions to analytical theory of numbers and worked on elliptical functions, continued fractions, and infinite series. In 1914, he was invited in to Cambridge University by the English mathematician GH Hardy who recognized his unconventional genius. He worked there for five years producing startling results and proved over 3,000 theorems in his lifetime.

According to Ramanujan, inspiration and insight for his work many times came to him in his dreams...

A Hindu goddess, named Namakkal, would appear and present mathematical formulae which he would verify after waking. Such dreams often repeated themselves and the connection with the dream world as a source for his work was constant throughout his life.

Ramanujan describes one of his dreams of mathematical discovery:

"While asleep I had an unusual experience. There was a red screen formed by flowing blood as it were. I was observing it. Suddenly a hand began to write on the screen. I became all attention. That hand wrote a number of results in elliptic integrals. They stuck to my mind. As soon as I woke up, I committed them to writing..."

I think it is usually rare to stabilise words and numbers enough to 'take them' back to waking life but not always. If you make it a habit. He was quick to wake and jot them down.
Also note that the dream character is sometimes someone important (a deity) that has its own volition and comes bearing gifts/answers.
So I would say it was Morpheus itself or that part of you that resides in the unconscious domain and answers back.
apparently Most new inventions or problem solved are realised in dreams. The classic pre-new age book book 'Creative Visualistion' talks about the role dreams play in the creative process.

LaBerge's book "Exploring the world of Lucid Dreaming" contains a couple of exmaples about a physician who diagnosed diseases in his dreams and a chemist who prepared experiments while asleep.

I often take time during my (recent) Lucid Dreams to practice my martial arts. It's the only reason I haven't forgotten everything I ever learned since I rarely have the opportunity in waking life to run off to a private, spacious location and drill forms.

I've also used dreams to help troubling interpersonal problems. For example a family member and I were having real trouble seeing eye to eye recently. We were driving each other mad and couldn't figure out why. In my next Lucid Dream I made a point of finding her dream character and confronting her about it as plainly and bluntly as I could. Her DCs response demonstrated the underlying reasons for her behavior (as well as where I was going wrong in dealing with it), and with that in mind the next day I was able to come up with a nice compromise. Since then we've been getting along swimmingly.

I put a lot of stock in the insights a person can find by searching the unconscious.

Dimitri Mendeleev conceived the periodic table in a lucid dream.

Lewis Carrol was inspired to write Alice and Wonderland from a lucid dream.

I even saw a video about how a NASA scientist figured out a way to work on the space station more efficiently from a lucid dream.

The examples are abundant.

I think no one have understood my question.
I asked have "YOU" used lucid dreaming for such problem solving.
and got a clear result.
Answer in YES/NO

I want to share one of my experience,
In a lucid dream I wanted to understand the concept of atoms and molecules and the mole concept in physicist in a deeper way
Hence in my lucid dream I started my computer and started viewing a video about this topic which was really telling the sufficient information but after some time my lucid dream just got a little messy and hence i woke up
La Berge also says that lucid dreaming is not a good place for such thing in a interview and but is good for experiencing the dreams and using that experience in your real life to make your life more ;'awakened'
