      Question Why does equipment malfunction?

      Kind of a stupid question, but sounds like something out of The X-Files.

      Are you asking why light switches, clocks, and other technology so often malfunction in dreams? Some people think it is because such things are complex and logical and during most dreams the logic center of our brains is turned off, so they don't work or they work wrong.

      Just a guess, but, I think that if you aren't able to understand how what you are trying to use (such as a cell phone, computer, light switch, ect) works you won't be able make it work in your dream. At least correctly. None of that is for sure, just my opinion.

      This surely explains why my keyboard on my computer had all the keys in the wrong places when I was dreaming!


      I'm your right-hand man but my schemes are left handed. I've got the world on my shoulders, a monkey on my back, my head in the clouds, and my ear to the ground. I've got stars in my eyes, my eyes on the prize, and my nose to the grindstone. A baby face, a glass jaw, a dirty mouth, a harelip, a silver tongue, and a deep throat.

      We all know that lightswitches are prone to not work, but has anyone ever encountered a scenario where electronics work improperly?

      Such as a light switch changing the room around or putting you outside when it is flipped?

      In my next lucid dream (they're few and far between) I want to try googling the meaning of life or chatting with someone on AIM. It's bound to degenerate into a nightmare because typically things with screens on them tend to terrify me when they don't work as they should. IDK..?
      Life in a box is better than no life at all, I expect. You'd have a chance, at least. You could lie there thinking, "Well. At least I'm not dead.'

      Maybe try coming up with a DC specialized in life or something, and talk to him.

      Electronics usually work for me. But the dreams themselves are generally unstable. Things change, so do electronics, but there is nothing special about them.

      It's not like I'm the only one. I've seen it on a number of forums. All credits go to the unknown maker of course . So you are a blender user too, huh?
      Sorry for off topic talk. It's your thread anyway, so as long as you don't mind

      I don't know... This is a very interesting thing to think about. If I ever become lucid, I am gonna try to use something electronic and see what happens.
