When they are dominated by the dark side of the force, characters on Lost feel much like we do when we're find ourselves in actual darkness.
In the dark, we tend to feel uncertain of ourselves. We can't make sense of what we see because shape-changing shadows keep messing with our perception. We struggle to find order in our surroundings, so we fumble around for anyone or anything that will help us find our way.
The dark side of the force has a similar effect on the characters on Lost. When they're under the influence of the dark side, characters feel less certain of themselves, show inconsistency in thought, perception, and behaviour, have a sense of disorder, and seek guidance from others.
