Thread: Why is "everything", but dialating time possible in a lucid dream

^^ Oh yeah ... this is a time-dilation thread. I keep forgetting that!

Did your dream seem like 5 hours during the dream or after you woke up?

It honestly seemed many hours long while I was inside the dream. I even had a discussion with some DCs about how it was going on and on, and appeared to be many hours worth. However, now that I view it as a memory and read the parts I recalled enough to write, it could easily have fit into 90 minutes. I am not sure what made it feel like hours while inside the dream. I assume it was a case of the mental trickery I have already mentioned. What seemed like long conversations (say 5 minutes) were in fact maybe only a dozen or fewer actual sentences. The walk I took with my step mom seemed like an actual walk, but now is remembered as perhaps less than 2 minutes in total.

It felt like 5 hours, but in reflection, nothing mysterious seems to have happened, it really is more like a case of trick photography or cinematics, if that makes sense.
