I've noticed on TV and in movies that if someone has no idea how to do something but they fall asleep listening to a recording telling them they can repeatedly (i.e., "I CAN lose weight... Food has no power over me..."; "I can play guitar... I have become one with the guitar..."). Just over and over again in their sleep... Next morning, they wake up, and sure, they can't stop saying the phrases, but the have the confidence to actually do these things right. Does this work?

It should be in the positive and in the present tense. "I now play guitar...." But practice is also necessary. Mental practice will also help.

Yes, it actually works, most of the time. It does however, depend on the person. If you just keep repeating the phrase, it probably won't work. But if you believe in the words and find out there true meaning, then yes, repetative phrasing does work.

Yes, it usually works though in varying degrees in different people and for reasonably valid scientific reasons.The key is the degree/intensity of acceptance by the mind.It's a kind of auto suggestion in a mental state(like half asleep)when conscious mind is not fully active/in control.The rest is well known to you.

It works for me...I tape record school notes and listen to them while I sleep. I barely study and do really really well!
