Psychic dreaming experiment.

[Absurdist]

Okay, I had the idea a wee while ago and I'm not sure if it's original but I'll still pitch it to you guys. Very simple. Get a friend to place a random object in a box. You must not know what the object is. Now, in your dream open the box and see if the object inside the box in your dream matches the box in real life. I'm going to try it as soon as possible. Could be very interesting. If you try post your results here.

Not original but... well, I think thats a bad use of LD time <.<

[Absurdist]

Not original but... well, I think thats a bad use of LD time <.< Hence the safety clause, "I'm not sure if it's original". Besides, what's deemed as a good use of your LD time is completely relative, if you don't have anything constructive to say you're not obliged to reply. : )

[Hukif]

Well, its not a good use of LD time because its your friend who will put the stuff inside, someone you know and might have an easier time figuring out what he might put in there. And I don't think you will trust someone over the internet to do this for you, and it is on the wrong section too <.< Not to mention, you didn't provide any kind of statistics for this experiment, which I think is needed for an experiment like yours.

Not original but... well, I think thats a bad use of LD time <.< Is a constructive reply. Anyhow, there's something with your sub-conscience having ideas of what the item might be due to experience in experiments such as these. I am pretty sure it's been tested.

Maybe if you put something that would never occur to the person your testing, ex. a DVI-VGA adapter for someone who has no interest in tech things, or a hair clip for pretty much any man, things like that.. it would be possible to put items that even your best friend would have very little chance of random guessing, just by the sheer number of objects you could put in the box. Also, if your friend sees the box before dreaming about it, make the box size disproportional to the item inside. Regardless of what item you put in the box though, your friend would have to be able to do it consistently, not just once, for there to be any value to the test.

This has already been tested, I believe by the user "Aquanina". What they did though was use an OBE as an experiment and not Lucid Dreaming. I am not sure if the Lucid dreaming plane is the same as the OBE, so good luck with your experiment. The only experiment like this that I have heard to have worked is by someone who did an OBE, to lift an object in front of an audience.
