This concept aligns well with the manifesto principles: "Everything learns," "As you can become aware of a dream, you can become aware of reality," and "Use technology." It envisages leveraging a natural cognitive process (dreaming) for conscious learning and skill enhancement, advocating an innovative approach to self-improvement. With emerging technologies, we may eventually find ways to induce such states and ensure experiences within them are optimized for learning real-world skills. | This concept aligns well with the manifesto principles: "[[Everything learns]]," "[[As you can become aware of a dream, you can become aware of reality]]," and "Use technology."

By acknowledging that "everything learns," we leverage the brain's intrinsic ability to do so, even in sleep. Recognizing that becoming aware of the dream state is akin to a heightened awareness of reality opens a parallel path for development, making lucid dreaming a fertile ground for exploration. The entwinement of such experiences with technology could lead to novel interfaces for DISA, like dream-recording and analysis software, VR-assisted lucid dream induction, or neurofeedback devices. | By acknowledging that "everything learns," we leverage the brain's intrinsic ability to do so, even in sleep.
