Is there anything useful you can do while lucid dreaming?
I've done it once in a fever, and it was admittedly a fantastic experience (I was a multiverse god and made lots of multiverses full of happy people in awesome landscapes having really great sex), but it would be nice to be able to get something out of it that could be shared with other people.
I'm wondering if one could use the immense processing power of the human brain in a consciously directed way; for problem-solving, or simulating a complex system, for instance. That would prove that you're not just watching pretty lights while the "this thing that's going on right now is really cool" part of your brain is stimulated.
I don't think system simulation is possible. The dreaming tests essentially work by prooving that you can't keep much "state".
Learning by repetition is something i heared repeatedly. I have no personal experience, but it seems to be a Matrix-style "I know Kung Fu". So you seem to have access to your memories and can reinforce them. Maybe some self-psychoanalysis is possible, since you may access your subconsciousness.
