This kind of stuff is already quite old news. People aren't that interested in discussing it anymore.

Here's one (out of many) scientific studies on the topic -

BBC News | HEALTH | Physical training in your dreams

The study demonstrates that muscular strength can be increased, just by visualising yourself doing a gym workout. What are the practical applications of this discovery? Well, some people get hurt in an accident and have to be confined in bed for a long time. Visualising gym workouts would then help to prevent muscle atrophy.
