Thread: Long dreams.

I think that's pretty common. Just like there are dreams where ten minutes seem to go by in seconds, some are just really freaking long. The way we perceive time isn't the same in dreams as it is in waking life.

Most of mine are long and whenever I wake up from one of them I feel so miserable because I had actually made some friends over there, you know? I always go like, "Damn you, alarm clock. You took my friends away from me, you a-hole."

Ask Oreoboy1996, he had a dream that seemed to last decades, and he had kids and everything!

Though I do remember having a dream that lasted something like 30 years and I was trapped in a cave. We got out and we were just like.. HOLY SH**!
That would be classified as false memories mixed with some fragments of things that we did. Yes last night I had a dream that lasted hours and hours as I flew and did various things with friends on our way across the country and ocean.

Yeah, this happens to me pretty often. I think you perceive time differently in dreams. You don't pay attention to any of the little details of a day, you just skip to the main events which makes it seem like the dream is longer.

As everyone else is saying, I think that's fairly common. Our time perception is whacked in dreams, so often dreams seem a lot longer than they really are. For example, this morning I woke up and then fell back asleep for what only felt like a couple of minutes. But then I realized about an hour had gone by, and also I remembered I'd had a dream that seemed like it was two or three hours long. It's weird, but normal.
