Sunlight you mean? |
|
Well I had another lucid last night, and I decided to practice some control. I went outside onto my deck (I was at my house) and used some jedi force powers to telekenetically throw some chairs around. That was pretty fun. Anyway, next thing I tried was clicking my fingers and changing the light. It was a very dark and cloudy setting in my dream, and when I clicked my finger, the clouds on the horizon changed to a bright orange. |

I understood that it was the lighting that also cannot be controlled - light switches or otherwise. |

It is indeed easier to change light levels outside - once I put a tremendous amount of effort into it and got something very much like what the OP did - the sun slightly rose above horizon and some street lamps flickered on and glowed dimly. But the overall light level changed only slightly and it required so much effort that my LD collapsed. |

I've always found it interesting how your brain lights your dreams. It doesn't actually light the dream with the light sources in the dream. Rather, the lighting you get is from an "aura". One night of WILD, I had about 5 dream inductions, and they were all dark. I could see shapes, countours, and lines clearly, but no light or color. The next day I tried again and used a technique I had read about of taking a lighter out of your pocket and lighting it. I lit the lighter and indeed a small glow came to the room. But most interestingly, a few seconds after I lit the lighter, it was as if someone turned all the lights on and my dream was lit normally and I no longer needed the lighter. After that, lighting was not a problem (occasionally on later nights I have had to repeat the technique). |

Any time someone says that something is impossible in a dream, I don't think it should be taken as a hard-and-fast rule. Dreams are full of exceptions. |

does no one here understand? |

Good point. The whole dreamscape isn't real, it is only based on experiences from life. |

Anything is possible? Shared Dreams? Precognition? Telekinesis? Astral Projection? Make someone fall in love with you when you wake up? |

I dunno, if you could gain a high enough level of lucidity and a stable dream environment theres no limits to what is possible (your conciousness takes control rather than your subconcious) |

I don't think that's truly possible. You underestimate how much of who you are is embedded in your subconscious. |

The lucidity institute did an experiment on light control. About 50% could affect light levels. |

"we may accept dream telepathy as a working hypothesis." Stephen LaBerge, page 231 Lucid Dreaming 1985
I had a LD last night and I was able to change the light effects outside. I just walked out of my house and saw a light switch. I flicked it on and it was bright out, not dark like it was before. The light faded, though, so I said, "Lights, brighter!" I kept saying that until the light got to the right level. I then proceeded to use "the force" and bend the rules of gravity to run up some walls. Overall, I agree with Billy Bob and others that there are no rules in a dream except for the ones that you make. |
