Thread: how do you change night to day?

in a lucid dream how do you change night to day?
any tips?

i tried last night and it did not work,
and it sucks when i want to do stuff but it is dark.

I think it is difficult to change night into day in dreams, because it is demanding operation for your brain. Try to go inside, imagine there is a day outside and go out. However unless you are in complete darkness, why would you do it?

I PASSIONATELY daydream about flying in a lucid dream above city and nature at night. I would love to fly and see the calm nature and shining lamps and my house and everything while flying very high and breathing the fresh night air and hearing the silence. Later the sun would start to rise and I would see the sunrays while everything below would still be in the earth shadow. Then the sunrays would start to light the edges of houses. I would land in late morning and wake up in my bed totally excited. This is my dream which I would love to make true (or dream actually).

Reach out and grab the moon with one hand...pull it downwards. Simultaneously imagine the sun just below the horizon, reach out for it, pull it upwards. It is now day. At least, that has worked for me in the past. You can also try imagining a lightswitch that, when flipped, will make it daytime. Or you can try opening a door into a new dreamscape where it is day. Or try fast forwarding through night until it is daytime. Lots and lots of ways. And this may sound silly, but when using the first method, it helps to sing about how the sun is coming up. Subconscious likes to cooperate when you sing to it.

I've done this a few times and it's an awesome feeling when it works. When it doesn't work... Well I sent the Earth on a collision course with the sun

What Nina said, especially the light switch (always worked for me). Though I do shudder to think what might happen if I started singing for sunshine!

In addition, you might pause for a moment, close your eyes, and simply try to remember a sunny day from waking life. When you open your eyes, it should be daytime -- of course, this technique might also land you in a totally different dreamscape when your eyes are open, but is that really a bad thing?

I've done this once or twice. I simply commanded it to be daytime, or light out, and suddenly it was.
I don't always get immediate results, though.
Usually indirect control works better. While lucid say "when I do such and such, it will be light out." It doesn't really matter what you do, as long as you expect it to work. I once made a castle appear by hitting a tree.

me too, just last night I did just that, it was dark as hell, and i simply shouted lucid daytime now!! when i wetn outside the sun had risen , infact, i visually saw teh change in light, it was such an amazing dawn lighting condition.

Hmm, making light in a dream is notoriously hard. For making the lights come on in a room, I clap my hands and pretend the lights run on the clapper. As for outside...I'd try making a roster crow, or get a clock or watch and set the time to 8am or something, to help push time along.

In my last lucid it was pitch black, and I failed to change the scenery to daytime. The lightswitch idea sounds great, I'll have to try that next time.

I used a graphing calculator to change night into day once.

Worked pretty well.

Do you have a formula for that?

Have you tried using verbal commands? I've changed night to day once that way, and it was very easy. I looked up, realized it was night time and said out loud, "I want it to be morning." and it was like time fast forwarded and all of a sudden I was watching the sun rise.

I think Sageous PMed me one awhile back. XP

I did? Oh Snap!

You're going to make me look it up, aren't you? I bet it had something to do with self-awareness; don't remember any calculators...

That's awesome. I thought I was just making a math joke, didn't realize you had a specific "daytime" formula you were punching in the calculator.

Abstractly tied the light levels in the dream to the contrast settings in the calculator, hit a few buttons and presto, instant light.

Oooooh....wow, that is very creative. I normally just use the clapper, lol. But I'll have to try that.

1) Try stabilizing the dream
2) Go into some place where you can't see the sky, imagine it's day and go outside
3) Find a light switch for the sun
4) Color the moon in yellow
5) Press T and wait 10 hours (like in skyrim, oblivion)
6) Look at the sky, and visualise the sun going up
7) Tell your subconscious to do it for you
8) Put special glasses that turn night to day.. (like nightvision, except they are not green)
9) Run to the other side of the planet

If all of the above for some reason won't work.. enjoy the night

Use good old "Sun Accendio"

Get my Ocarina out, and play the "Sun Song" (way to screw up everyone's REM cycle link!)

Too bad I never tried it in a lucid.

this may not work for you, but it worked for me!
i too have this problem with light levels, always dark and stuff

so once i tried, speaking out loud in the dream, let there be light... like god created the light in the bible, and it worked to a degree, there appeared 3 or 4 man behind me holding huge flash lights on there shoulders lol, give it a go

Put your finger on the moon and drag it down, imagining the sun coming up simultaneously. Visualize the sky changing from night colors to red, orange and pink for dawn, then light blue... Like a really fast time lapse. Or, just go inside a building and close the door; when you open it again, fully believe it will be daytime outside. But know that nighttime is just as awesome as day; it doesn't prevent you from flying or doing anything.
