Thread: Stephen LaBerge: There is no time dilation within dreams?

An acquaintance of mine held this neurotechnology forum conference back in the 90s. Stephen Laberge spoke there and showed charts from this study and others. He's recently released some of these talks, including Stephen's, on video onto youtube. It's a fascinating series of videos which catch Stephen is his prime.

In his books Laberge mentions that dreams produce the illusion of time dilation in much the same way that movies do, by cutting out parts of the plot or continuum that aren't relevant to the narrative/dream experience. As an example, in the dream you say to a friend you're going to go clean up for a party and all of a sudden you're at the party all cleaned up, or perhaps you're home cleaning up, but didn't experience the car ride there. In this way we create the illusion of greater lengths of time passing. IMO the Inception style time dilation stuff is simply not true.
