You have to know the basics of piano. Only then will visualization help in improvement of your skills.

Research also shows that your dreams (sleep visualization) help you better your reflexes.

A recent psychology article on why we dream:

Thanks Ankesh,

This is fascinating! I've long been interested in dream research... I remember reading opinions of researchers who thought dreams had no purpose. Then others who think dreams are related to memory. I've read about lucid dreams. (That's where you are aware that you're dreaming, when you're in the dream... This often lets people control their dreams).

What you linked to and quoted is new to me - that dreams are a way to practice your skills, and play out new scenarios. But I think it makes sense!

When you're worried about something, you tend to dream about it. Students who are worried about exams, often dream about taking exams, for example. It's probably a way they can "practice" taking exams, before they take the "real thing"... People worried about asking a girl (or guy) out, tend to dream about asking that girl (or guy) out...

This suggests a way to use dreams for self-improvement. Before going to bed, think of the problem you want to solve. Really mull it over, go over what a horrible situation it is you find yourself because of this problem. Try to come up with many situations for solving it... All doing this while you're going to sleep...

With any luck, you'll dream about it. And you may come up with a solution!

It's worth a try. (I've been trying it since I read Ankesh's post - which is 2 nights of sleep because of my time zone - with a some success... Out of 2 problems I've tried to solve, I came up with what seems to be a good solution for one of them! I'm still working on the 2nd one... I think it's worth pursuing!)

Thanks Ankesh for sharing that piece of research!



Cheers,

Dien
