Relive life in a dream, possible?

**mack3h** · 10-08-2013 05:42 PM

Hey there! This is my first post on the forum so don't be too harsh if i put it in the wrong place.

I was sitting and thinking the other day that i would may be able to relive my life in a lucid dream, and then wake up when i get to my current age.
Would that be in any way possible?

Thanks for answers

I think everything is possible within a dream, and if you could dilate your perception of time that long you could relive your life

You could look back and experience a scene based on any part of your life, changing details as you wish. from my experience you can not experience much extra time in one night. You may be able to fast forward through all the boring stuff and experience key moments in your life.

Have a read of this thread if you're interested in time dilation, it's a very good read. It covers a lot of information and a lot of opinions on the matter!

You can only relive what you remember. If you do not remember being born, you cannot recreate the scene of your birth. It would be impossible, the brain cannot access information it doesn't have.
You would also run into the problem of fitting all these experiences into one night of sleep. The jury among lucid dreamers is still out on whether or not it is possible to dilate time in a dream, especially a huge amount.

You could do this. Time in dreams is very different.
Once i dreamt that i was some character in a movie documentary. I dreamt being a young boy, then a full adult man, then an old men. All in less than 1 hour. And it looked like i was dreaming for days.
