We all are lead to believe this when we have dreams that felt like hours when we know they only took place within a half an hour of sleep time. This is what this experiment questions.
I'm not misreading the experiment, you're not seeing what I'm saying
Uh, I thought it was obvious in my post that it was about conciously dilating time.
It is not that I didn't see what you were saying, however I was never feed the "time in dreams is different from real time" stuff. So the big misconception you mentioned to my eyes was more of a "lucid dreamers can't have events of time dilation" than it being popular, guess the pop dream talk is different over there than here?
In fact, this is the first time I hear this of time being dilated in dreams as a popular thing <.<
Oh well now the experiment makes more sense, when I first read it was like "Uh, what does this have to do with dilating time?" now the relation is obvious.
