Time Control

[Graeme]

i wish to lucidely control dream time no tto make it slow down or something but to pack days of dreams into minets of sleep . I am sure we have all woken from a dream and it seemes like we have been dreaming for weeks well I want years, I want to live a hundred years in the dream world befor i wake up. i am exploreing the dream world searching for dream people who can help me maybe advanced dream technology or dream occult knowledge the perception of time is something that can be skewed easily so any ideas on how to really skew it?

[Elwood]

Good luck with that one! Your going to be trying for a while. I am familiar with waking up and it feels like years but only in non lucids. But ive also tried to slow time down, i was successful but it was just slow mo like the matrix.

Iv never spend weeks in a dream before, i herd people have though. Mine always seem to be maybe 5 hours..tops. But even though it seems like its been 2-5 hours you can sum up everything that happened in 1minute..its weird. I dont know about hundreds of years, or even a year, i think i would get lonily. But i have never talked to a Dc while lucid so i dont know how the company would be. (never been lucid long enough to find anyone) lol. I would get nervous that im in a comma and the world is ending around me, then i would wake myself up and it would be 4 in the moring :-D I truily wish it was possible. Iv herd of people saying they spend -LONG periods of time in a dream after taking certain drugs when it was only a few minutes.

It's funny how when we talk about this subject, no one's ever been able to say they've done it themselves. It always ends up with people saying they've heard of someone doing it from a friend of a friend, or something along those lines.

I had a non-lucid a few nights ago where I spent three years lost at sea. I'm only saying three years though. It felt like forever, then the dream faded to black, and in white the words "Three Years Later" appeared, then my dream faded back. I woke up and was like, "WTF!!!"

[ShYne123]

But did it just seem like you was on the island for 3 years becuase your facial hair was huge, and you had a furnished cave? Or did you remember going to sleep 1,095 nights, and eating 3 285 meals and how you cooked them? See when people say they spend 3 years in a dream, i think they dreamed that they crashed on the island...then time just goes by and all the sudden you "know" you have been there forever, but theres a huge time lapse of stuff you dont remember. So the actual experiances you remember on is island is only a few hours worth. Please correct me if im wrong adanac.

In a life boat. I don&#39;t remember sleeping or eating, but I remember weathering many storms. Some more notable than others. There were other parts of the dream that were normal, but that section of being lost at sea definatly seemed like forever. However, it&#39;s hard to tell, because most of the days were very monotonus. (<--SP) I also have no idea how you would induce this during a lucid.

Time dialation again? Blarg. Theres lots of stuff about it if you look around. Its a popular subject. I don't want to go through all of it so heres my advice to you: If you really want it then go for it I guess. Theres no easy way and its nothing for a beginner. To my knoledge nobody has successfully gotten control of their dream time to real time ratio. Enjoy your dreams. Pursueing TD will probably ruin alot of good ones.

[metcalfracing]

hmm... trying to come up with clever solution is hard for this one... you can't REALLY know cause clocks are unreliable... maybe you could ask a DC to continually count every second for you... then every 525 948 minutes you will have been a dream year... that'd be sort of boring though... EDIT: ... WOW... That pathetic that I know how many minutes were in a year...

[Graeme]

well i personally have expirenced long satys in the dream world, im surprised at the idea that people havent dreams that have seemed to last over several days but dreamt in one night. with my use of ayahausca i have hulicinated gigantic chenges in time, perception. i have had the thought that useing the ideas of einstien would help traveling on a planet that moves at the speed of light in it orbit through the astral universe and then comeing back to earths physicle realm i froget the exsact workings of the theory but you get what i am saying no doubht

[Elixer]

I believe that it could very well be possible in theory, but you still have to ask, "would it be like a day on Earth?". Of course not, but would you, in the dream world, actually feel the time go by? Or would it still feel as though it went by quickly? Similar to when you watch a 30-minute sitcom, that encompasses a whole week. I'm actually asking these questions, because I've only been lucid two times, and those two times were from my childhood. I'm also asking because ever since I looked into this ( referring to lucid dreaming ), the objective of slowing down time for a hundred years, like some people say they have done, has greatly intrigued me. One hundred years is like 2 lives, being that lately most people in the headlines have been in there 40s-50s when they passed away. So, even though it is just the dream world, it would feel as though you had lived for 150 years, wouldn't it?

[JenMarie]

I don't know if I would EVER want to do that Maybe a whole day or something, but right now? (Having never LD-ed yet) I like real life. Maybe sometime I could be convinced otherwise But I too would get really scared that life around me was ending...

[Adanac]

I dont think I would get scared of life around me ending, because I would know my real body is just spending one night. But I would still have to go for weeks tops. I get my ideas for lucid dreams from real life. I don't know what I would do without it.

[Aesir]

well I want years, I want to live a hundred years in the dream world befor i wake up. [/b] Funny you should say that. Robert Monroe claimed to have an OBE that lasted longer than 100 years (over the course of 2 hours in real life), but it hasn't been proven of course. I'd suppose that time control within dreams can be done, since it is really only your perception of time passing.

I get my ideas for lucid dreams from real life. I don't know what I would do without it. [/b] I have skipped time in a dream before - that is, I'm sure I skipped an unspecified number of hours two nights ago (it doesn't matter how many when you don't live it out) in destroying a heap of scrap metal that got thrown on top of me. But I don't think you could seriously live out vast periods of time, since your brain can only handle so much. I'm sure you could speed time some, though - perhaps live out a whole day every night, in just the normal REM periods? You could have two complete lives. If you got some good shared dreams going, you might be able to get your dream ideas from other people and go for longer.

i have a solution! you said that some Drugs make dreams last longer right? so just summon up some of this drug in your dream! just use the placbo effect. its that simple. create an item in your dream that will prevent u from waking up till u wanted to

[Electric-Shadow]

I'm not sure if it's even possible, but if it was you would certainly have to develop a very advanced technique, but if your a beginner you should really only start with the simple things, before you move onto more adventerous things. However even if you do develop a method that may well work you cant guarantee it will, your mind may simply not be developed enough or as i said it may well be impossible.

[Brilliand]

One danger is that instead of making time go faster, you will extend the real-life dream time. I can't imagine any reliable way of speeding up time, except for simply thinking "Forty years have passed" and not actually living them out. You would probably get some believable scenario for forty years in the future. I suspect Monroe of doing something like that.

[lupo7]

Well LaBerge in one of his books refers that he timed lucid dreamers perseption of time, by telling them to make signals every 30 secs or so. Their dream time perseption were very close to reality. But before that meny people believed that dreams occure in just some seconds that seems to us like an hour or so. Is there a possibilitty that some times happen this too? Is there a possibility that out brain free of convertions start to percieve inner information much faster and extend time? I wonder...

[Brilliand]

I think in order to do that you would actually have to break your internal clock. Your brain really knows what time it is, but if you can somehow break that, you might be able to accelerate to as fast as you are capable of thinking. As I said before, though, there is a limit to how much you can comprehend in a given amount of real time. After a certain point, if your quantity improves, your quality will decrease. I suppose you could have a million-year dream if you handle it very simply and didn't know what had happened in any given year. I could daydream a quick million-year sketch in a matter of minutes.
