Thread: Time Freeze?

*tryes to climb rope, but skipped Jem class to many times*

At least you have LD, although i will pass on the shawdows man. I know those things are Scary.

I havent been bothered that much lately, everything last night was fairly pleasant, I got to observe that society of crustacean kinda people, And the Evil in the Evil in the office dream, a few days ago wasnt as bad as it has been.
I would ratehr pass on them myself =)
Granted I have accomplished the most growth in those dreams, but its stressfull, I would rather take the time and experiment, and meditate to acheive the growth i have.

I really enjoyed reading your posts serinath, I love reading about the science behind the spirit.....Our brains are definately mysterious machines.

*sigh* you probably wouldn't feel out of balance. Your memories were already constanly running filling in gaps. All thats left is when you awake, you resurface memories for you waking life.... Just forget it

haha, i should have said this when this forum started, but doesnt this freezing years into seconds remind you of the CHRONICLES OF NARNIA!?!?!


haha, just thought i would mention that

your knife, my back, these love letters from my heart to yours, passed through our lips end tonight[/b]

- i just made that up!!! wow

No, I didn't read all of the above, but I read some of it and...

I haven't remembered a dream (it feels like I haven't had one, but they say everyone has one every night so what the hey) in about a year and a half or so.

But from what I remember, every single memorable one felt like days, but they weren't lucid.
You know how you fall asleep for hours, wake up and it feels like it's been 5 minutes like every single time you sleep? Yeah it doesn't make sense........but...

Anyway, I've only had ONE short lucid dream (felt like oh, 10 minutes but lasted the whole night), when I was probably about 7 years old. All I remember is I was on a balcony looking down at a trial and it was a very unfair one so I yelled "NO! ....something something......" They I leapt (or was pushed by the crowd?) off the balcony......but there was a gasp because I was flying.
The last thing I recall is saying "Of course I can fly....IT'S A DREAM!" then waking up.
I don't think my subconcious wants lucid dreams because i wanted it to go on but it stopped me.

....... .......Now I don't care, I just want to have a dream or a nightmare that I can actually remember...

And yes I'm a newbie.

WELCOME TO THE FORUM!

We actually have several different dreams per night; the most vivid ones occur during REM sleep, which occurs roughly every 90 minutes. To remember dreams well you generally need to awake while in a REM period, before your mind has the opportunity to "wipe its slate clean." Thus, try setting your alarm clock for 3 hours into the night...or 4.5, etc. When you awake clear your mind--don't allow yourself to become burdened with every day worries, etc. Just try to remember what you were dreaming...relive your dreams backwards. This will work...you just need to practice. Also, while falling asleep remind yourself over and over of your intention: to remember your dreams.


good luck.

If you people really want to do some amazing things...1st you must realize that DREAMS R REALITY! You people and your hue-man concepts! Concepts created from a unrealized, unaware, and restricted perception. Where did you get the idea that this dimension of Life is real? Is it because your minds (spirits) spend most of its consciousness here? Your thinking is the problem. Consciousness is all things, if you can not control or experience all things it is a direct reflection of your thoughts...meaning how you see (understand) Life. Why is it that every hue-man-ual mind (spirit) wants to go to Heaven? Well, it's because... Heaven is the place where all DREAMS come true...meaning, where all things become a reality. This is only possible because a person's mind (spirit) becomes 100% LUCID (AWARE). How do you THINK everything got here anyway?

What ANGEL/ANGLE of perception R U?

7-even

umm angel you posted this same post several times already. how about something new?

Hello intent, this was my first post, but what did you have in mind?

Time freeze? I'm willing to split the difference and have just a
regular time slow down.

It seems that LD and keeping a dream journal can help with that
"shifting gears" so to speak.

It must be that way for babies. Everything moves so fast and they are so fascinated with the new world around them.

Maybe we ARE babies exploring the dreamscape and it takes time and certain growth for us to become masters.

Abstract Dreamer

angel, oh i meant you posted this like 3 times in response to 3 different threads:

-- what's with the "hue-man" stuff anyway? have some personal meaning to you?

I forgot to post here yesterday but the night after i posted that message I had a dream!!!

Uh...really boring and hardly memorable but I DID fly in it...
hmmm...

But who cares as long as i had a dream I'm happy now!

Hello Shorty Penguin! Welcome to the forum!

[size=18]Some of this stuff gets scary...
I try to perform realty checks often because since i started performing them i grew paranoid i was in a dream.
To bad i didnt get more involved in this post earlyer...

Thanks for the "official" welcome, Althius. I think I'll like it here.
*pulls up a chair*
*doesn't realize there's a snake in it*
*sits and dies*

No more dreams yet. How sad.

g2g bye

Ha ha ha ha ha,
Haikus need to leave me alone,

Welcome to the forums!I didn't see you come in either.

I've done it. Yes it does take a LOT of concentration, IE i almost woke up twice. But i mannaged to still out everyone around me. time basically stoped, except for me, wich is what i think you actually want to do? I don't know if you can keep youself withing a dream that time is stoped in just because you haven't stopped time for yourself, just people around you. However i have gotten stuck in a LD before, but it only hapens when im not really trying. I'll try to get back with you if i mannage to get stuck again. Personally its a matter of un focus, like the method of flying from hitchhikers guide.

Eek! I meant Aphius! Not Althius....sorry

Anyway, thanks for the greetings, guys.

a previous theme in this topic (time freeze) was about living forever. one person claimed hearing the story of someone living 94 years in one LD. another person multiplied 94 years by every night we might have remaining in our lives to dream. he came up with the possibility of living 1million+ years, in LD (near forever).

well, if one could successfully create 94 years of life in one LD, I think it would be likely that he/she could dream each night of those 94 years. and if one could sucessfully LD in each night of those 94 years that were LDed (you following me here), then wouldn't the possibility of living "forever" be feasible, given just one night (and esp. years of real time to practice it?)...

well, hopefully an interesting spin on the idea, anyways.

btw. a little history on myself and LD: i personally tried LD first when i was ~14, during a summer. it actually stemmed from something else i was trying at the time: the ability to fall asleep immediately, at will. I became very proficient i falling asleep anytime, whether i was necessarily tired or not, by focusing on relaxing every muscle in my body, until i experienced a faint spinning sensation (not physically, really, but a mental-plane type of sensation --- i don't get nausia or anything). one night after falling instantly asleep using this method, i became self-aware during a dream and was fascinated by it every since. Although time contraints of the real world have kept me from improving upon my skill (i get an LD maybe 1 a month, and usually don't keep control for longer than 10 percieved minutes, as far as i can *remember*, and that's what counts i suppose), i do want to try to get back into it. btw, i'm almost 19 now, so i've understood the phenomena for about 5 years now, but i haven't really explored such abstract ideas such as indefinite life... anyways, i hope to check back at this forum some time (-;

Firstly, [b]Welcome to the forum quickpost!

Good to have you here.

I follow what you say and it sounds like that would be a far out concept! If you could do that I think you might be able to live for a LONG time, but I wonder what would happen when you awoke from such an experience, you might have forgotten a lot of stuff if you'd been gone a long time...

Thats the first time something like THAT has ever happened... but its Ok.

This is something I am taking from this site?:

"Stopping real time in your Lucid Dreams means making the Lucid Dream last far more than the time passed by in the physical world. Like having a dream that last a few minutes in real time, while you might experience it as a few days in the dream. By doing this can you enjoy the dream scape a lot more, since you can spend days in the dream while it really just last a few minutes. Robert Monroe even reported experiencing 100 years in a 2 hours OOBE. But to experience this might be difficult, little research have been done on this area. And those that experience it don't consciously try to have them. Still, there are a few techniques you might try. First of all, set your intention to stop real time. Have that intention in mind while having your Lucid Dream. Picture yourself being in the dream for days, maybe even weeks before you wake up. You might try to saying out loud: "Stop time now!" You can try looking at your clock in the dream, and imagine that the clock slow down and stop. You might try to expect the dream to last for days. You might try visualize two pyramids, connected at their bases counterrotating. And maybe visualize multiple pyramids rotating inside each other all rotating. This is something worth going for, as it may give you incredible long Lucid Dreams."

I am definetly going to look more up on this Robert Monroe [/url]

Would that not just created an infinite paradox in which every night the person went to sleep, had a lucid dream with the whole 94 years thing, went to sleep in that dream, etc. etc?

Anyway, this reminds me of a Star Trek TNG episode when Picard finds this satellite thing and it flashes something in his eyes, and passes out. He then enters a new reality in which he thinks is real (he though he was just transported there) but is actually just a simulation created by a people that lived a thousand years ago. He then accepts the reality a lives, I don't know, 80-90 years ---in the simulation--- but he only was passed out for 20 minutes. A couple of minutes after waking up, all his senses and memories of real life returned, and though he completely remembered the experience, he did not become crazy or out-of-sync or anything. The episode was very philisophical, and got me thinking a lot after it was over.

One thing though: wouldn't you feel robbed if 90 years of your life, which you thought were real, just happened to be a dream? Your dream wife, children, grandchildren, everything...false? I think that would cause a person to have a heart attack or something, or think they were dreaming the fact that someone told them they were dreaming.

Oh yeah, and can people in coma's dream? Just a side note. I don't want to offend anyone who has a family member in a coma though.
