This was my first lucid dream in which a digital music device was working as intended. A fully operational iPod was given to me by a dream character and who said the music will relax me. The digital interface was fully operational, the memory was full of songs I never heard in real life. I listened to 3 songs, each two and half minutes long. That was very awe inspiring moment, so if you are a music artist, you can try to summon an iPod next time you become lucid.
That would be a great task of the month, you can suggest that as a lucid task. Have you ever have something that you are listening to in real life, and have it bleed into your dream? Btw, yes, I have done that before, years ago. :D
That sounds like a wonderful idea. Although my own suggestion would be to try for something lower-tech, like a CD player, and avoid the problems that gadgets with screens sometimes present in dreams. There’s a risk of getting ‘sucked’ into it if it’s filling your field of vision and you stop paying attention to your surroundings. I’ve actually had lucid dreams start that way – but it could also be an easy way to lose one.
And I guess there are analog devices as well. I had a dream last night where I was at a live concert and saw they had a row of enormous mixers set up. Unfortunately, I woke up before it got started, so I didn’t get to hear any music. But I remember seeing them and wondering what on earth they needed all those channels for.
Yeah working with digital devices can be a tricky experience, yet I successfully simulated most of them inside my dreams, I even keeping a score, so far I had a fully operational PC, TV with different categories of channels, Arcade play system, phone, tablet and an ipod. But if you have a problem with electronic devices there are other solutions, you can just say out loud "music on" or "play music" and expect to hear a music, you know some of these new movies in which people have voice recognition players.
Well, personally I don’t have trouble with digital devices in dreams – and in a lucid dream, I’d probably just use a verbal command, as you suggest, or plain intention. But I think it’s a good idea to offer equally effective alternatives for those who might have a harder time maintaining stability.
My dream-self has successfully simulated my waking self's habit of ignoring my cell phone when it rings on the theory that it's probably spam.
