Using computer in lucid dream

Has anyone here used a computer in a lucid dream?

Surfed the web?

Imagined and used new software that does not exist, such as websites or mobile apps?

Could lucid dreaming be useful for UI design?

Eletronic devices usually don't work on lucid dreams.

I already did one time. But it's always blurry and stuff. Not seem to be able to read anything in the computer but I keep on scrolling lol

I use the computer a lot and usually do the same things I do in waking life, such as Facebook.

I also use my iPhone a lot.

So the text and everything looks fine for you, Extremador?

Hmm... I've done it once... A long time ago.. No text was blurry or anything, but I don't remember what anything said... :P

For you maybe, but there is no reason they won't for everyone else.

Anyway op, I have used computers in a few of my lucid's and they were very useful. Once I logged into WoW, went to the realm list and found realms with names of people and places, clicking on one and pressing enter world would teleport me to that person or place (after a quick loading screen). Another useful one was opening up facebook, and any person's profile I clicked on would make that person appear in front of me, which I promptly used to summon some hot girls. Using a computer in a lucid can be a great tool, don't believe that it won't work.

From what I can remember it does. I had a dream that I was driving a Lexus LFA in NY and was texting my best friend before deciding to just call him to go pick him up wherever the hell he was.

Not for me, I'm not talking from personal experience. From what I read, some people even use that as a reality check.

I've once had this experience, but not surfing the web or anything like that, just word processing, which I suppose is a version of the classic 'unstable text' thing. I was trying to type in a word, but it kept coming out nonsensically, and that was the cue for lucidity, although it vanished almost immediately and I woke up.

Interesting, seems like it works for some people, but not others. Is it perhaps related to lucidity level or dream control?

Maybe partially, though that definitely isn't the only factor. I've never used a computer in an LD, though computers always seem to work fine for me in non-lucids.

I find that I'm using a computer in them every now and then.

Here's a bit from a DJ entry several months ago.

" I wake up in the dream (false awakening) and I remember going to my computer and asking a question on Yahoo Answers. My logical mind wasn't working, as I was dreaming I asked something along the lines of "Why can I ONLY feel the characters feet of a video game when I am dreaming?"

After a few moments of waiting, I refresh the page. I have an answer. It was slightly long. I started reading "Dreams are like stories for your mind" --- I wake up instantly, in real life this time"
