If you obsess about something enough you don't need to practice in real life, ever. Because that "hunger" for practice leaks into your dreams instead, which is where the real improvements come from.
The "pros" practice all day in real life without knowing it makes them worse, that's why they have no skill. When they dream about it they become better to compensate for the daily losses in real life. Overall they keep improving little every day but not as fast as they could if they stopped real life practice completely.

There is no correct way of improving on something, it is different for everybody. The world is filled with combinations of variety and possibilities are infinite, some people practice in their dreams and imagine doing something and improve on that, which has happened to me with a successful outcome in some occasions. Other times people need to practice and get a hang of the coordination by physically and mentally practising of whatever activity they are doing. The world is impossible to comprehend, you have billions of minds each working in their own unique way. There is no set way of doing anything.
Some people improve through pure imagination, where when they dream of something or imagine something, it is so realistic that it actually does improve on their skill in reality while other people are the exact opposite. Some cases are harder to find than others, if we assume that someone always improves doing something through their dreams then when will they apply those acquired skills to reality and if they don't what's the point in practising in the first place? Basically what I'm saying is that a "pro" will improve through some form of practice be it either mental, physical or both, how they will improve depends on that individual "pro".
Commenting on the whole thread:
For enjoying music, have you tried to clear your mind before listening? Try and listen without your analytical mind interrupting your listening session all the time, for a moment forget about any equipment or cables you have and only have your mind focused on the music, without nitpicking or analysing and listen to the sounds you like, that is would be a form of enjoyment however basic it may seem.
I'm afraid ill have to disagree with you with the part saying you don't have emotions.. all humans do, thats why they make decisions and have judgement. Sometimes emotions are supressed and hidden so deeply that you have no idea those emotions even existed. I would hazard a guess and say that you have somehow tried to rid yourself of emotions for a long time, which is not only impossible but counter productive. You would need to open yourself up more to the world little at a time and eventually have a balance between reality and imagination.
I hope my post made sense.
