Thread: Extremely odd Lucid ability.

Tried again last night.

From what I can tell already, just watching a clock tick away in a Lucid Dream is easier said than done!
I came round in bed and knew I was Dreaming so Flew out my window and down my street, I landed and looked for a clock and found one through the back window of a car.
I started watching it but after only a few seconds the second hand stopped and no hands were moving, I just started counting the seconds out loud and after 36 seconds the second hand started moving 15 seconds at a time and kept doing this.
The hour hand then disappeared and it was pretty useless watching it any more.
I counted to 3 minutes but you might as well just stand and count rather than find a clock as there's no point really looking at it.

The 3 minutes felt just like a normal waking 3 minutes and no time dilation happened or anything.
I know I haven't given it much of a chance but already it feels very unlikely this will make it work, I'm not saying time dilation in Dreams can't happen, I just don't think this is the way, for me anyway.

Have you tried creating the white, empty environment and looking at a DIGITAL clock, as OP described in the first place?
