I've encountered an interesting phenomenon throughout my lucid dreams, but I've never made a topic about it. I would like to know if my experience is a single occurence or a general principle of dream control.

In my dreams I find conjuring weapons and manifesting offensive powers quite difficult. For example if i want to conjure a gun "just because", I might try twenty times and fail. I should mention that killing DCs I know in real life is next to impossible. I've never succeeded in using flashy effects like shooting lightning bolts just because I wanted to do that.

At the same time if I feel treatened or overwhelmed, I am able to manifest powers, conjure weapons and dispose of my opponents almost instanteneously. There's rarely a single flaw in the way I want something to happen. For example today I made half a dozen enemies disappear with a single thought...


Can it be that my subconscious/dream mind is helping and working with me when I encounter some danger?
Could it be the nature of my dream actions? Maybe the action out of need is more powerful than the one made out of doubt or boredom?

Did anyone else encounter anything similar?
