I too, had a good laugh at this dream. I really like the way you went about it. you tried your best but sometimes you lose the war of dream control unfortunately.

I learnt a lot of things from reading about that dream of yours. Last few DEILD's I've had in the passed week have been dark and I didn't bother trying to get it to become daytime. Least I know now, all i do simply tell yourself "no, it's day time" :thumbsup: or if that fails use the expectation technique when walking through a door or something, never tries that though.

Heh, thanks... you're right about the war of dream control, but so long as you show up to fight again, eventually you always win.

I'm glad that there were some useful bits for you as well! Yeah, I'm big on the "deny the problem" technique. If you can convince yourself that everything's working just right, it usually is. (Which is kind of awesome, because in waking life reality can remind you that you're wrong... not so in dreams!)

Hey, if you're interested in some more material on darkness and dream blindness, we talked about this for a while in the first Q&A podcast. Check it out if you're interested! http://www.dreamviews.com/dreamviews...-sleepers.html
