Thread: Dream checks?.

Well personaly I have turned on machines before in my dream so I think it's up to your imagination wether a machine is usable or not. What you should have done was a reality check you done on yourself, for example the pinching your nose technique and reading a text twice to see if it stays the same. Dreams have infinite possibilities my friend .

Electronics not being able to work in dreams is a myth. Based on common belief it is unlikely that they will work correctly.

For example, every time I flip a light switch in a dream, it fails to turn a light. And yet Ipods, alarm clocks, and cell phones work perfectly fine. It's just a common phenomenon people have noticed. However, it's different with everyone. I suggest trying other reality checks. They're more reliable IMO.

Yeah, electronics can both work, or not work. Or work in a way you would not expect them to.

For example: The other night in a dream I was trying to turn off a kitchen light switch. Instead of turning off the light in the kitchen, the switch was controlling the light in the living room. Almost got Lucid in that one, but got distracted and forgot to RC.

I had another dream where I was living in an apartment, and was trying to turn off all the lights before leaving. I was able to turn off the lights fine, but every time I turned around they would be back on again. At first I thought the place was haunted or something. But then I did a reality check and became Lucid.
