Hi Gaea, congrats on your LDs. I'm also interested in your time dilation experience.
How do you know that the real time was 10 minutes and the dream time was an hour? The dream time I can sort of understand, because that can just be what it feels like in the dream, but the real time?

Also, Gordon, why do you think WILDs are different..... for everyone? The limited WILDs I've had are very similar to non-WILDs.

I know what Tīme Dilation is, but I'm not talking about that. Most people here did not notice that, WILD is totally different form of lucid dreaming. There are some laws that apply only to WILD, but not to the other types lucid dream. One of them is that there is no time dilation. Time Dilation can be a type of dream control, but can be the opposite as well. Like a loss of lucidity for a given amount of time. Next time when have a Wild don't let go of dream by yourself, keep it stable as much as possible. You will be amazed of what can happen. There is no time limit for WILD, aka Rem periods. Beyond these Rem periods the interesting things happen ;)

So is your own personal scale, not something universal?

It probably could be universal, I think of lucidity as a gradient scale, and some people might agree with me. Some people might think lucidity is black and white, it depends on your and what you experience

Second question
How your WILD's are longer than real life? Mine are like 30 minutes there, 30 here. They are always in real time.

Time Dilation. It is possible to bend time in your dream to spend days or even years inside of a dream. It would be considered a form of dream control.

I'm really interested, what you mean by 40%,60%,100% lucidity. On what scale are they?

It's mostly a copy from my previous posts, but let me explain. That is how lucid/aware I am of the dream. 50% would be semi-lucid or you're kinda aware that's its a dream but still unsure. A 10% dream would be blurry and not rememberable as much as a higher percentage.

Hah! So that's what an expert is capable of! Looks like I still have a long way to go.

Sorry @JadeGreen for the late response, but can you reword your question? I don't understand what you mean

Have you ever thought about dreaming of being in a virtual reality as a layer of low lucidity because you are in some sense aware that what you are experiencing is not a part of standard reality and is just pretend?

Like for example, I can experience an entire lifetime in 3 seconds, but I only know 3 things: I was born, I fell in love, I died happily ever after. Those events took up 3 seconds, but in the end, I had an entire lifetime in the dream. I hoped this cleared up some stuff This time thing is called Time Dilation, and if you have enough dream control, you can probably do it.

Wow, nice dream you had there! I see you have a decent understanding of mythology as well, haha. I can't help but notice the difference in your dream time and real time though. Do you have this often? I mean, for me dream time and real time are about equal.

And do you think this difference is because you believe it lasted longer, or do you think you actually experience more dream time within the same actual time?

This really sparks my cusiosity. Either way though, it seems like a pretty awesome dream to me.

Sorry for the wait, I accidentally posted it before I finished writing!

Sorry for the late response @JadeGreen, thank you for commenting and sharing your opinion

Yes, still trying my best!

Well, I knew what I was doing, I can still see the picture in my mind's eye, so it'll probably still be there

I looked around and noticed that all the houses were light free, and dark. It seems abandoned. There was a small pinch of the ocean was towards the right of me, and it was colored light gray. Many may think of this seems a nightmare, but I think it is absolutely beautiful, and amazing.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I suppose. Good and evil are only labels that we assign to things. It's nice that you can be positive in a dream and avoid conflict (with the wolf.) Nice job.

I was orbiting the Earth now. Oh well, I guess I'll take a picture of Earth instead. I grabbed my Samsung Galaxy S4 from my pocket, and looked at it. The time read 6:36PM. Approximately 13 hours from when I was dreaming. I unlocked my phone with a pattern password, and opened the Camera App. Then, I took a picture of Earth, and it saved to my fake phone's memory card.

Hahaha! That's faulty logic for you.
