Indeed, you can't use your watch for this, all you can do is estimate it. The notion of time is not changed in the dreamstate, so this shouldn't be harder than in waking life. |

How exactly can one "time" their own dream? |
|
Yes, most people are estimating their time spent during dreams. Some may be timing WILDs, which is more easily and accurately done. I myself have trouble with estimating time spent during a dream, but others seem to do it rather easily. |

Things are not as they seem
well, there are two different types of times, even in non lucid dreams. There is time in physical world and time in dream world. For example, the other night i had a dream that lasted 2 days, but i only slept for 2 hours during that time. |

Incidentally, Stephen LaBerg did a study where lucid dreamers counted the seconds in their dreams to see if their counting was accurate. It turns out that generally speaking their perception of time was about the same as when they were awake. |

I don't tihnk it is possible to have an exact time but I believe it is possible to estimate. |
|
Well, recently I've been having this situation happening to me where I'll go to sleep say, at 11:00, and wake up at maybe 12:30 or 1, and I feel like I've just had 3 or 4 hours worth of dreams. |

I can estimate my LUCID dreams.... |
|
I had an idea for this a while back. |
