When you have a lucid dream, does a minute actually start feeling like a minute, or does time just kinda "pass" like a regular dream? Is there some weird feeling that starts occurring in yourself when you become lucid? Just curious, I had a semi-lucid dream before but I don't remember very well because it was a few months ago.
I have a visceral sense that time proceeds in a lucid dream pretty much like in real life.
Yes time in dream's are the same as time outside the dream. There is many myths and mis understandings about this. But there have ben studdies where someone became lucid and started to make eye movements evert 2 seconds in the dream and the people monitering thim concluded that the time was the same.
Yeah I think the wiki on lucid dreaming (which is a wreck, by the way) mentions this. Some studies show 1:1 time, other studies show a slight slowdown, but overall it's about the same.
