i figured out a great method for turning on lights in a lucid dream: ask someone else to do it! get a dc to turn on a light for you. we all know that turning lights on is one of the most difficult things to do in a dream, and it can be quite annoying to be in the dark, not to mention the dreams tend to fade prematurely. i tried this last night and it worked fine! anyway, let me know if it works for you guys or if i just got lucky.
oh i forgot to mention, you could also try “bestowing” someone with powers and asking them to help you if you’re having trouble with your own powers. or finding a “dream wizard” who could spawn items for you, transform you, give you 360 vision, or whatever you’ve been having trouble doing.
Cool. Might try this because often I get lucid and it’s dark! Usually I try to ‘will’ the sun to come up, which is incredibly difficult. 
Only if you say it is. 
haha thats a really good idea! 
Its always the lights that are annoying me all the time because most of my LD’s are dark outside. 
but i hardly ever have a DC in my LD’s cus they are mostly FA that i realize im dreaming. I only can ring a DC on the phone lol! 
You have a good point.
Ahahhaa great idea!
But most of the time when I’m lucid and it’s very dark, I’m alone too…anyways, I’ll try this out when I’m not alone!
good idea! I also have problems with it being dark–so i’ll try this. but if that doesn’t work, does anybody have any other suggestions?
I just clap my hands and shout “LIGHT!” then it becomes bright.
I thought I haven’t had a problem with it being dark, because I’m always outside flying. Now that I think about it there where a few time I thought I was LD but everything was dark and I wake up shortly after that.
another method i discovered is to go up to as light switch-- and focus all your sight on the wall the light switch is on–and only focus on making that wall light up. then just turn around and the rest of the room is lit up.
I forgot to ask a DC to turn on the lights however. I’ll try to remember next time.
This method has been working well for me! Since i mostly have WILDs-- its almost always dark, and ive been able to get people to emerge from the darkness to turn on the light for me-- the one draw back to this however, is that I am usually scared out of my wits when these strange figures come out from the shadow-- ive woken up a couple times from being startled by them!

What if you just take a floating lightbulb out of your pocket?
Or pull out a wand and say Lumos Maxima.
Ok, so I’ve had 2 or 3 LD’s lately and they where all dark then I finally thought maybe my eyes are closed and I just need to open my eyes and what would you know…it worked!
thanks for sharing. Most of the time I want my LD to be bright and vivid As in outside, on a sunny day.
It really shouldn’t be any more complicated then this, for the people who have some experience lucid dreaming.
if/when i ld, i am going to try to take a small ball out of my pocket, and have it glow and follow me around.
