Thread: the endless dream

I im not really sure about the slow "waking life" time in the dreams, but alot of people say that they have experiences that they woke up and saw the clock and it was 8:12 and they fall asleep and feel they had this long and beautiful dreams and wake up and see its 8:13..

In the movie "Waking Life" (related to lucid dreaming) as you can see in the begining of the site talks about somethin' similar that you are saying..

Once i was in a LD and felt this one was really long, it felt like 20 minutes and i asked a DC how many time had i been in and he said "yeah its been a long one, you've been in like 1 minute now" and my little brother went through the same thing... I felt like his dream lasted like 3 hours and the DC told him he was in it for like 20 minutes... my theory is that maybe DC's tell us the "waking life" time that has gone by..

its just a thought..

I dont think that there could be an endless dream. Maybe a dream that lasted a year at the most(and you would have to be VERY skilled and experienced to do this), but not endless. At some point you have to wake up. REM periods are only so long

quite an interesting subject. I haven't truly experienced an endless dream but i know what oyu mean by falling asleep and a shortime later you wake up and realize how long your dream was. I mean unless you fall into a coma or something or have an extremely long dream then i would really doubt an endless dream.

I am curious how much perceived time could transpire in a single minute of dreaming. Say that it is one hour. And let's say your REM time lasts one hour at a time. Theoretically you could have 3-4 days of perceived dream time in one LD. Wouldn't that be fun? I hope that in the future we learn a method of extending percevied dream time in a dream so that more dreaming happens in a single minute of waking time.

I think no man can say, hey i've experienced an endless dream you wouldn't be here.. would you?

So thats why in the movie Waking Life they say you experience the "Endless dream" when you are dead.

of course no man can say they experienced a dream like that. they wouldnt be able to post on here. cuz they would be in a dream constantly. its weird when u think bout it though. like they would be able reply to us. cuz we live day by day. but to them they couldnt. cuz in the time they sleep. in one dream. they would be in a dream. personally even living a week in a dream. in dream time would be dream come true. it would rock so hard. id do so much stuff. and i need help with this. when i focus on somthing like my hand. it becoms clear. the dream becomes clear. clearer then real llife. then lik ea copule secs later. i fade out. no matter what i do. any ideas what to do?

Consiousness itself is an endless dream, no beginning no end.

We cannot rationalize the thought of nonexistance, at what point in the growth of a human fetus or infant do we become consious? Have we always been consious and that consiousness has just been attached to these physical forms? is that why it seems like we have always been here have always existed? I would go on in my own words but I find Floyd has in thise case said it much better than I.



I have always been here
I have always looked out from behind the eyes
It feels like more than a lifetime
Feels like more than a lifetime
Sometimes I get tired of the waiting
Sometimes I get tired of being in here
Is this the way it has always been?
Could it ever have been different?
Do you ever get tired of the waiting?
Do you ever get tired of being in there?
Don't worry, nobody lives forever,
Nobody lives forever

I will always be in here
I will always look out from behind these eyes
It's only a lifetime
It's only a lifetime
It's only a lifetime

While thinking about this for a bit I realised.

Nobody lives forever...

No Body.

But what are "we" exactly? Most of us have proven to ourselves that we can exist and function in a world that does not exist within the physical confines of this physical reality.

Do we really need the brain and body to retain this consiousness or is it the other way around? Does the consiousness finaly figure out how to let go and be free and the body go HURK!!.. I duno.. O this is somthing interesting I recently stumbled on

They now think that each cell in our body is a single unit of awareness? That our bodies on whole are just a fractal evolution of those cells into a larger more aware unit? Genes act only as memory, the environment and the cells perception of the envorionment changes the genes. The nucleus of a cell is not its brain, you can remove a cells nucleus and it can function for a couple of months before it dies. Cells react to physical stimuli along with energetic stimuli, EM frequencies. Thought is EM I think its time we started changing some things in our brains
