I'm not sure, I always thought it was a concrete law that it was impossible to change light levels. Interesting that you can, wow. |

I was just wondering why people can't control the lighting of a place, I have ony done it two or three times(all times successful), but I was wondering why is it hard for other people. Whenever I do it, I always just point to what I want change and raise or lower my arm. I find this works, but I was wondering if anyone else could or anything. |

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.

"There are two types of people in this world, people who think there are two types of people, and people who don't."
There aren't any laws in dreams... My guess is that light switches don't work for most people because they were tought that they don't. Technical devices like computers etc... Maybe they are to complex to simulate. |

I think that the light levels in dreams are often based somewhat off the light levels in your actual surroundings. So, when you're having a lucid dream during the night, your dream may be fairly dark. I find that when I have my LDs in the early morning, they're usually a little dim. |

I have changed the night into day and vice versa, but never tried changing light indoors. The light's always on anyway. |

I've been able to change ambiant and direct light-levels in lucid dreams. It's scarcely even conscious. I just think that I'd prefer a scene to be better lit - and it is. |

I don't want to hear about the brain from someone that doesn't have one.
Nor do I want to hear about evolution from someone that hasn't evolved.
I totally agree. Confindence. Einstien doesn't have any say in your dreams unless you believe he does.. |

ah but then you'd get where you wanted to go so quickly that you might as well just teleport. |

100% of the people I meet are idiots. If you are the one guy in the world who isn't an idiot, put this in your sig line.
I can't use light switches in dreams. I don't why that is, but they don't work. It could just be the power of suggestion. |

Insanity is the new avant-garde.
Hmm, it's been my experience that anything can be controlled in lucide dreams including scene changes and lighting conditions... |

For some reason, although not lucid, I somehow managed to create both night and day in my dream last night. It was night all around me, but just above one area in a almost perfect circle it was perfect day sky complete with clouds! There was even an line on the ground where the night met day! |

"No-one ever takes the time to imagine the impossible, that maybe you'll survive..."
I've had difficulty with light control too. sometimes the lightbulb in the rdreamroom would be dim, or not on at all. But i've found that if you don't think too hard, and merely expect it to happen, you can turn on lights by shielding your eyes and saying something like "wow, that's bright". sounds cheesy, yeah, but it works |

I did it last night. To tell you the truth I didn't even think about it. |

would an inverted WILD result in sleep walking? (your mind sleeps but your body doesnt)

I have another kind of problem (even though I also had problems with getting more light), it's that sometimes, one of my eyes remains closed, no matter what I do to make it open, and if I try too hard, I just awaken, of course my eyes fully opened (and it's not a FA, I always verify). I tried to focus on details, but generally, it just makes my other eye close and I usually awaken after... |
|
I think this relates. |
|
Cheis. Dailo.
It's tough to bring someone back that never really lived.
Oh Floatingchicken i knowhow you feel it freeks me a lot if a light switch dosn't work if its in the middle of the the night dream and theirs a monster chasing you. |

Im not afraid of the dark, its whats in it.
*the lights turn off and the whole room goes dark*
Oh im fin- Ahhhhhhhh its a scary figment of my imagination.
I haven't tried to control light, but I think that electronics don't work since your brain doesn't understand them well enough, so when you hit the light switch it is useless. Also, I am pretty sure it isn't the lighting itself that is too difficult to control, but the switches themselves. Lighting in a dream is generally irrelevant to other factors, and is just there. So while you may see the light on above your head, it is like ceiling lights in a video game; fake. What happens is you see the lightbulb or whatever glowing, as you know it belongs there, it is in your perception of how everything looks, but it really isn't doint anything, and actually what is happening is that the scene is lit with invisible lights that you can control as they are not physical, technical things, but are just...there, just like anything else that is non-tangible in your dream. |

I've controlled light in my dreams before. I remember entering my room and thinking to myself, "the lights are way to low for me to find a pair of boxers." (Yes, i was naked.) So, i turned to the light switch and flicked it a couple times. Of coarse, nothing happened. Then i went over to the light and pointed my finger in its direction and shot some electricity. It made that sound that electricity makes at high voltage... vzzzt... and nothing. Then, one more try, and it worked. The light turned on, but it was still dim. I didn't even pay attention to the lighting levels, i just was happy i put some light on the situation. |

Getting the reply notice of a reply to this post just reminded me of an unrecalled LD I had a few days ago. I have no idea what actually happened, but i now remember trying to raise light levels, and succeeding a bit, but then trying to raise them even higher, and make the lighting more interesting, and failing, and then I guess waking up momentarily only to fall back asleep. |

The Quality of a Light in a Dream is indicative of the Spiritual Altitude. The Condition of the Light -- the Luminous Ambiance -- is a barometer of a dreams position between the Moral and Spiritual Poles. You have Darkness and Evil on one end, and you have All Goodness and the Pure White Light on the other. |
