Why Do I Dream I Can't Turn The Light On Dreams Nightmares Dark Switch

I've had the dream, and i don't know what it means. It always happens the same way; I wake up in my room and try to turn on the light, but it doesn't turn on. Getting out of bed and walking to the other light switch, i make a second attempt, but it fails. I realize it's a dream, but i can't wait up. I can relate it to something else, however--when i'm awake and while i'm in bed, i hear the walls crack, and jolts of fear go through me. My mind goes wild, and i think it's something more than it is. I've always had issues of fear, so that might be why i have these dreams. Since i've been studying my own mind for the past few years, i've got an idea that i'm going to try: when i hear a crack in the house, i'll imagine it to be jesus or some equally friendly character. Also, I'll imagine the dream i had and insert the evil presense to be jesus or thee buddha. I hope it works, and good luck with your own dream.

I too have had this dream since an early age. I don't usually realise it is a dream until I start to walk out of the room - I then realise and get a sudden sense of fear. The dream usually fades out at this point and I wake up

i am nika, i am 20 years old.

i've had dreams like this before many times -- i'm in a dark room -- then i flip the light switch on & nothing happens -- then i go to another dark room & try the switch but still no light -- then i start to freak out -- then i can't remember what happens after that. i had a dream the other night that i was in a nice apartment -- it was dark, so i went to a bank of switches. one of the switches was for a fireplace which actually came on, but i shut it off because i didn't want the fireplace on. the other switches were for the kitchen & living room & when i switched them, the lights did not come on. so, i laid my hands on one of the light bulbs & said "this light bulb will light now in the name of jesus, by the power of the blood of jesus. the devil has no power over this light bulb." the light came on! then i went to each bulb, one by one & did the same thing & they all lit up -- some instantly & some slowly, like they were on a dimmer. then i started saying "the blood of jesus" over & over & all these cats started appearing & were driven out the front door. then i was standing at the front door watching the cats leave down the stairwell & i just kept saying "the blood of jesus, the blood, the blood, the blood" & i woke up & i was still saying it & my cat was standing on my chest. i felt short of breath & my heart was beating really fast. perhaps this was demonic retaliation for some spiritual warfare praying i had been doing earlier? thank you for the blood of your son, father!

i have had many of these, i can not explain it cause i really do not fully know. i am of the belief that it has something to do with lucid dreaming and sleep paralysis with hallucinations
there is a great book out called wrestiling with ghosts: a detailed scientific account on sleep paralysis, look it up...

wow, those dreams sound horrible.

in the film, waking life, it suggests that it is near impossible to turn a light switch on or off in a lucid dream. adjusting light level in a dream is a fairly uncommon task. in fact, it is a good way to test if you are dreaming or not.

if you know you are dreaming it is a lot easier to control them.
