I think you can make anything work in a lucid dream with confideance like your techquie. Most people I think in non lucid dreams lights don't work. One time in a dream I tried to do a reailty check in the dark with my wacth, and had to turn the light on my wacth and the light didn't work. Instead of thinking it was odd or anything I just went along with my dream. Also I think you made a really good point in dream control. If you want to control something in a dream know about it, like facts it uses in real life and know how it works, that could work for anything that would be possible in real life anyways. |

I turned on a light in my last lucid dream and it worked. Probably because I didn't think about it. It was dark, so I reached for the switch automatically. |

its easy to make things work f you just expect them too, in a dream all those electronics you just talked about are nonexistent, your mind works on a common sense level when creating dreams thus all it needs to know is that the room will seem brighter because your pushing the little thing that's jutting out of the wall upwards, if you wanted to you could make it so lifting your pinky turns on the light.... the mind doesn't need to create the electronics or know how it works, just what happens when it DOES work... electronics may as well be magic to the mind |

Hmm this gives me a cool idea. What if you programmed yourself to think that a lightswitch did something else? Like close a door. Then you could use objects to make dream control more easy. Like you could make a fake "time travel light switch" and put it on ur wall and then use in a dream. Weird. |

I'm not sure you could make yourself believe something like that very easily (unless one has mastered complete control of one's dream), without drastically rewiring your house. |
