The Phenomenon of Light In Lucid Dreams: Personal Observations

Abstract

All visual images in a dream consist of light. We do not, as when awake, see objects onto which light shines from elsewhere making them visible. In dreams, whether we see a ‘source’ of light, such as a lamp, or ‘reflected’ light making an object visible, we are experiencing only images made of light. At any moment, there is only what is sensed. There is nothing out of view.
