Thread: why dont light switches work in dreams?

Some people belive that the part of the brain dealing with light in your dreams is usually pretty dormant.

hmm what about clocks then?
why do they show a different hour every time you look at them?

Simply because dreams are unreliable, since dreams are created with your inner senses such as imagination, believes and expectations, things that are known to be quite irregular... In real life we perceive with our external senses thus irregularities such as a malfunctioning watch are very uncommon.

because you mind just makes up an image of the clock to make you feel like in reality

Maybe it's because switching lights on and off doesn't require much thinking, maybe it's an unconscious action. I know I usually don't think about if the light will work or not, I just switch it.
Although I can read in my dreams. I also don't remember anything not working in my dreams.

In waking life our senses are unreliable too.
The only thing different between the dream and the waking life situation, is that we more or less know it is a dream or not whenever we check the clock for regularity.

what i think iz dat maybe the dreamworld ur in has no source 4 electricity so u gotta use ur mindpowerz 2 create a powerplant of some sort and then maybe the switch will work

Next time open the fridge, and see if its light comes on, then test if it is keeping the food cold. It not try shouting "Tech Support"
