I always find it rather cute when bits of machinery make a half-hearted attempt at working in LDs. Last night I tried to see what was on the radio so I put my stereo on. It came on but the station wouldn't change, and all I got was a bit of static with some muffled words being spoken (some of which I could understand, but I forget them now). To what extent do machines work in your dreams? Have you ever made something work fully? Has anyone ever used a TV or computer in a dream?
I tried using a tv but the screen went all fuzzy and wouldn't work.
My real-life stereo kind of works like that, hehehehe! :D
Mine usually WORK, but I have trouble working them. Like one time, I was using an ipod and trying to get a song to work. It wouldn't get to the artists page so I could find the band I wanted to play, but I could scroll it up and down on a list of other artists. Cameras always work, but the images come out blurred like they've had a long exposure. So, close but not quite :tongue:
haha. When it didn't work in the dream I just whacked it like I would if it was on the blink IRL. Should have eaten it or something. :DQuote:

They work fully I guess, tough I has only ussed the light, computer, TV, PS1/2/3 and stuff like that, a spaceship once <.<
You got a computer to work fully??? And what was on the TV?
On TV, anime, and if there was not anime I would force it into the TV...
The computer, yes it always work, scrolling, tab changing, ctr + something, being pestered by some annoying adds while lurking forums to see if I can find anything interesting, online games and... I think thats all I have done in the computer <.<
I don't think I ever had to use a machine in a lucid, but in non-lucids I'm a bit like Shift - it's not the machine, it's me. I try to pull up a file on my PC and it takes me forever to find it, I get my camera and realize I forgot to charge the battery (and then scramble for a new one before I run out of light)...
Oh, wait, there was this one time when I was going to shoot a really cool landscape but then I remembered I was dreaming... Man, I hate when that happens, hehe!
That sounds about right here. Clocks work, but they usually switch times illogically. The one time I recall flicking a light switch, it didn't work and I began to get frustrated until I realized that I'd been talking to someone IRL about light switches and dreams and became lucid... and promptly woke up.Quote:

What's DV look like (are you talking about lucids or normal dreams here btw?) Does it have the same sections? Do the posts make any sense?
My bedside lamp never works - strange really, since you'd think that'd be the simplest thing to reproduce. I'm glad it doesn't because it's been the cause of a number of lucids (including last night!)
In my first lucid dream, which lasted only about 15 seconds, my tv had a still picture of a double-sided mona lisa (basically a mirror image). I stuck my head into the screen and looked around and i saw a bunch of stormtroopers. then i woke up
Mmm yes when I dream about instant messaging programs (MSN or AIM are the only ones I really use) they look very accurate. I can usually also read the text perfectly well. But those are non-lucids. Can't recall ever looking at a computer during a lucid.
My computer works fine.. Usually all I see is the screen.. But sometimes the programs have different colors and Graphic interfaces.
I don't recall. Usually when I'm "on DV" I'm communicating with members I know, probably more like chat than anything. I don't really surf the internet in my dreams :PQuote:
