I can't answer your question but your sig gave me an idea for a movie. |

I've seen threads on "What is it," "Is it possible," "Share your experiences," and whatnot, but it still remains unclear to me HOW to use time dilation in a dream. If anyone who is experienced with this can give an explanation on how it's done, it would be greatly appreciated. |

What if I told you that I am dreaming right now?
That your whole life is a lie?
That the laws of physics as you know them are incorrect?
Furthermore, what would you do if I told you I'm going to wake up as soon as you finish reading my signature?

When you say time dilation, do you mean making a minute feel like an hour? |
|
I have had it happen to me, but I'd guess using and controling it is a completely different thing. it is probably nearly impossible to intentionally induce for the purpose of prolonging a dream. you would have to be a yogalucid god |
|
Actually, research has found that in most cases time in a lucid dream corresponds to actual time, and non-lucid dreams usually have no connection to actual time. So what seems like 15 minutes in a lucid dream is usually about 15 minutes. However, there is evidence that sometimes lucid dreams have alternate times, just like non-lucid dreams. So time dilation is probably possible. |
|
It's like this morning when I had a non-lucid dream. I was only asleep for about 20 minutes or something, but I had a dream that felt like it lasted for hours. It's a great feeling! haha. If there was only a way to control it? Maybe create a time dilation machine? |
|
its only happened to me in vivid but no necessarily lucid dreams. and from what I gather, its really a matter of perception |
|
I has done it in 2 different ways, putting extreme attention on time passing and just willing it to slow down or making matter around me move faster and my perception slower without heat, that makes time slower for me, doesn't work that well... but at least it works for me <.< |
|
Conscious time dilation could only be accomplished through the use of doublethink. (ie. holding the mutually contradictory knowledge that you are slowing down time and the belief that time is flowing as normal) |
|
Haha, woah, I think my brain just fell apart. I see what you're saying, but wouldn't slowing down time for yourself alone escape this predicament? You'd then be stuck trying to interact with things that are moving at say a tenth of the speed, though! Time is a nasty subject. |

Yeah, the problem with being aware that you cannot get time to be different and seem normal at the same time.You can slow down time or you can make it so that all you are doing is perceiving everything as going faster then it should be. You will notice everything happening more quickly and you will not be able to absorb it. It's like hitting a fast forward button. |

I only have one thing to say. Einstein's theory of relativity, guys! |
|
I once managed to dilate time slightly by meditating in a dream. I was only asleep for about 30 seconds before I woke up, but it felt like at least a minute. |

I love DEILD! SP is pwnage!
Time is relative...hence relativity, but unfortunately, our brain cannot create either condition required for true time dilation to exist (dramatic increase in velocity or gravity). Even if we could experience true time dilation (by, perhaps, riding on a spacecraft that could travel at a significant percentage of C), time would still seem to pass normally for us. That is, our dreams will still only last an hour or so (at max). Why? Because, despite the fact that time would have seemed to have slowed down (or, more appropriately, time for everybody else would have seemed to have sped up), our frame of reference wouldn't have changed. An hour is still an hour for us, despite the fact that one of our hours might correspond to one hundred hours for a stationary observer. Put more practically, if you were to live on a spaceship (that was traveling at a significant percentage of C) for a year, you would still only be a year older, while the rest of the universe could be thousands of years older than when you boarded the space ship. |

"Butch Cassidy: I have vision, and the rest of the world wears bifocals."
I read a similar analogy that LD's are like movies- they skip over the boring parts. If a person in a movie goes to sleep at night and a few seconds later we see the scene change to a sunrise and a morning landscape we "assume" that 6-7 hours went by while we just saw it happen in several seconds on the screen. |

TAKE DV members advice with caution! some have had zero or 1-2 LD's yet act like gurus
TOTAL LD's (almost all DILD/MILD) =160!!
new goals: have more LD's than Shift[X]
10-15min LD [ X] Article: A day in the life of an LD-er
the "Mind V.S. Body" Induction technique
Everyman 2 LD's/ sleep schedule progress
time dilation in the mind sence has nothing to do with reletivity as we would be in the time frame that is slowing down on the out side causing no effect so throw that idea out please |

Thanks for all the input, guys. |

I've always thought that time dilation has to do with how much one is stimulating their mind. Two personal experiences: my first day of working at a coffee shop. I had no idea what I was doing and was put in front of customers after about 10 minutes of half-assed training. That shift felt about twice as long as it actually was. After working there for two weeks however, everything was pretty much down to a science. All those tasks that were difficult on my first day became unconscious habit. Shifts felt half as long as they actually were. |

I have not wilfully succeeded in dilating time to any great extent, though have experienced a few overly long dreams for time periods that do not match even remotely (some quite recently). |

You merely have to change your point of view slightly, and then that glass will sparkle when it reflects the light.
The brain is very much capable of creating hallucinations and other illusions, so why wouldn't it be possible that the brain might be able to create the illusion that a lucid dream is longer than it really is? |
