I had this dream when I COULD turn on the light.
It went like this:
I was fighting some zombies and they were too strong for me and my sidekick to fight. So we hopped in a tank nearby. But it was dark in there. My sidekick said look for the lightswitch and I did. I found the switch and actually turned the light on.
In every website about lucid dreams they said its IMPOSSIBLE to change light levels. But I just DID.
can someone explain this to me?
its not impossible to change light levels in dreams, its just not normally doable through a light switch, because in a dream your brain cant comprehend the action of flipping a switch changing the level of light.
At least, thats what someone else on here said before
Changing light levels somehow seems very troublesome in dreams. Usually, when a light level in a dream is set, it does not change untill it has an opportunity to do in a radical fashion (i.e. total scene switch). Dreams seem to avoid changing light levels in dreams in view of the dreamer, for some reason. I personally have had a lucid where everything was getting darker, but for the darkening to occur my dream used all sorts of tricks to obstruct my vision of the light. For example, I was looking at a window from which light came, and the light level remained the same throughout. Then suddenly a door closed between me and the window, and when I opened it again the window was a whole lot darker.
I don't know why adjusting light levels is a problem, so I'm not sure what it means that you can. Maybe you can describe in more detail what happened? I'm pretty sure it couldn't have gone like in real life.
it was like in real life where I was trying to find the switch because it was dark. And when I found it I turned it on and the tank slowly got brighter. After that I put my hand out the window and said "This is stupid if it wont work" and suddenly a black dragon popped out of my palm.
I turned on a lightswitch in a lucid about a week ago. I laughed after I did it too, because I thought it was funny that I just disproved quite a number of sources.
