Hey folks,
I've been lucid dreaming for quite some time now and have often wondered why do the lights never work when I try to turn them on during my dream?? Does this happen to anyone else? Also I can fly in my dreams but only to a certain height about 2 foot and the flying experience doesn't last long. I then have to run and jump and find I'm flyng again but only for a minute or two. Is this common and how can I fly longer and higher???
you should read the flying tutorial on this site.
Well I think the answer with the light switches is that your mind is working so hard to create a mini-world that not everything is going to be 100% acurate. With the flying perhaps you are thinking too much about flying or a part of you is in doubt. Try and clear your mind and be really confident.
Hope this helps :)
I've heard before that the mind has problems controlling and changing ambience levels to a very high degree- which is why light switches often don't work.
This is slightly off-topic, but broken light switches may be a fantastic way for you to achieve lucidity. Do a reality check everytime you flip a light switch in real life, and hopefully you'll begin to do that without thinking: in real life as well as dreams.
