Lucid dreaming and Poi

hey can anyone switch lights on or off, or turn the sky from day to night (or vice versa)? I'd be very interested to find out!

switch lights yes, although light switches not working is generally a reality test. If you do it enough thou it will work. The main reality test that I use is looking at text, looking away and then rereading, but i only used to have to look back once, now i have to do it several times because my brain has learn't to circumvent it better. These days I really have to know that I am dreaming and have a really good sense that I am, and just use reality tests for confirmation. I had a very surreal experience a while ago where I knew I was dreaming, but all my reality tests said I was awake, so I just had to go along with it. I was like 'errrr.....okay......this doesn't seem right......but.......'

changing sky colour no. I could do it by entering a building in day, go out through another door and it being night. I've been doing lots of experiments with this sort of stuff over the past few years, and I'm still learning things about it and the way my mind works in dreams all the time. My lucid dreams tend to take on the form of the first minute doing tests/experiments which I've planned whilst awake for next time I'm lucid. After that I go have fun

As for spinning, i tend not to bother with poi in lucid dreams, I prefer to do things I can't in real life. I have spun in dreams before now and I remember doing it. A few days ago I drempt i was back at boarding school again. 'F* why am I back here again? I don't want to be a school kid again!!!'. Then i went into the cooridor outside my room and found it had a really high ceiling and was great for spinnign the poi i happened to have in my hands

I don't really keep a dream journal anymore, but I have in the past, and it has made my dream recall much much better. As a result of LD research I've had all sorts of crazy dreams related to the subject, countless premature awakenings, 2 sleep paralysis (scary as hell, even if you know what it is when it happens) and LDs which some hippies call astral projection
