Thread: What is the average length of a LD for a consistent LDer?

I know when you first start having them they are usually kind of short. I've had 7 LD's in total, and my longest one was about a few minutes. If I want to have great conversations with people or things in my dreams, or actually go on a quest or something, I want to be able to do it all in one dream.

So my question is, do you find you have enough time to get your main goal of the dream done? Will this time increase with experience? I intend on having a very long conversation with my Dream Guide as I've been searching for him in my LDs and NonLDs.

My lucid dreams last anywhere from about 3 minutes to up to a half an hour. Typically I don't have goals in mind, or my goals are short.

If you focus on dream recall, it can do wonders.

The length of a lucid dream will increase as you get better at maintaining control... meaning better at keeping calm and oriented.

I usually lose lucidity when I get disoriented or if my heart rate increases too much (no sex dreams for me )

Just yesterday (2/22) I had an LD that lasted the better part of an hour! You can tell by looking @ my journal at the detail and the timeline of my dreams - WBTB is working wonders for me!

Lance...sorry to hear about your lack of sexual LD's...I've actually just in the past year begun to contain them. Strangely (or not) enough, they seem to correspond with the departure of my last G/F...

The word consistent is the key... As long as you are LDing consistently, you may use a bunch of techniques that allow you to extend your lucid dreams so you pretty much wont have to worry about duration or accomplishing your objectives at all... If you dont have to worry about the duration of a LD, they tend to be *much* longer and stable.

But.... (there's always but) that requires consistent LDs...
