OK, I will agree with that. I have found that whenever I focus my intention on an electrical device in a lucid dream that I can make it work. But... Is this not an example of focussing our concious, intellectual mind on the problem?

Often, when I am not focussing on it, devices will not work. I have flipped light switches in lucid dreams before and the lights have not come on. I will usually just grin and say "Yep, silly Seeker, you know better than that". At this point I will usually point to the light and focus my will on it to make it come on.

Somehow, it's much more satisfying to will something to happen.
