Hi, When you get better at lucid dreaming do your lucid dreams last longer? Also I read something about people freezing time in there dreams to make them last alot longer, anyone experienced this or is it a lie? Finally, how long can dreams last at most (Not sure if its 90mins-100mins or not).
Thanks
Well dream Length, it all depends on how calm you are inside your lucid dream. If you are calm the more likely the dream will last longer. If you have ever read the book EXPLORING THE WORLD OF LUCID DREAMING, it states that Dream Time (inside our dreams) is pretty much the same as waking life time.. so if you have a 10 minute dream, 10 mins probably past in reality.
Ah ok, last night I had SP but I woke up due to fear :angry: , next time I will focus more on staying calm. In a lucid dream to.
Ah, it's easy for me to become lucid, but the part to keep calm always gets to me.
If I remind myself to be calm, my mind would just wander to get me excited without me stopping it.
Really hate that part! :(
I once had a long dream all because I actually kept calm and cool.
Being calm is pretty much the only way. AND NOT REMINDING YOURSELF TO WAKE UP! :content:
As people have already said, it depnds on how calm you are ect. Another thing to remember is the time varies from person to person as every one is different.
I feel you man, i get there and it happens then i get so excited i lose it.Quote:

Then if I decided to cook something, I see myself eating it without the actual "making and preparing" it. so I guess my dreams are a fast forward version of reality or lack there of reality lol.
that's wright three days ago I had Ld I was calm cause I have no idea what I'd like to do cause I was boringQuote:

but anyway I think it was 15 minutes and I ended that dream , it didn't fade away , I had also 3Lds after that dream :bigteeth: anyway I had a full control and it was a great experince
about freezing time I do that sometimes though it didn't last so much and didn't have a good controll
so I guess it's all about stay calm
wow, I always thought that dreams in real time were really short, like a hour of dreaming is about a moment.Quote:

Sometimes when I wake I try not to move and I just watch HI and think about the lucid dream I just had. Sometimes this alows me to enter into another dream and I usually become lucid again. But still my LD's are very short. Does anyone have any advise other than stay calm? And no spinning doesnt work for me either. :(
About freezing time. I have frozen time several times in an LD but it is hard to hold it. I can only do it for a few seconds and but then I can freeze it right back. I usualy have to do a guesture like waving my hand in a jedi fashion to get it to work. Funny, I never started that untill I watched Heroes for the first time. Maybe if I sqwint real hard like I am taking a crap it will stay frozen longer. LOL!
