Thread: What is your end turn goals for lucid dreaming?

I'm reading most of your conversation about dreams altering your perseption of time. I've wondered this a lot. Sometimes I can imagine it happening, sometimes I can't really. I think that sometimes, my mind convinces me that so much time has gone by because of a stray thought that goes into my mind. Along with it might be a story in my dream that unfolds the feeling or just the a thought coming from the dark point of sleep where thoughts go by without you noticing them.

I'll think for some reason, "Oh my gosh, it feels like I've been sleeping for days." But, sometimes I'll remember a dream that supposedly took place over the line of two days, but throughout the days there were lots of blank spots in time. Or sometimes I just can't remember why I think that. It just feels like it. I think that sometimes, just an ambient thought of time dialation passes through our sleeping mind.

And basically, the sleeping mind allows the brain to experience thought to a greater intensity, with less control. But it can literally form the perceptions of things and happenings in front of your minds eye that decieves you of what's happening in real life. I would be interested to know if it were possible though. I'll keep an eye out.

In my mind it makes sense because of how fast or slow time flows at any given time. Now take away clocks and the sun (enter dream) and how fast does time "seem" to move? Time is relative to the person experiencing it.

I am not just going off of straight "facts" here. I have woken up after weeks of dreaming. In fact last night I had 2 weeks at one place (just woke up) and some peoples that I trust a lot (I am probably just too prone to trust people, but they seem legit) are able to dilate time in LDs. One at any time, the other it is more of an accident and he said he spent 2 years in his LD. He said that he didn't live through every moment, but he lived through enough that it had to be a looking time. He said that when he woke up in his real bed he was confused. Kind of crazy story.

Good luck on your look for it. It is definitely one of my long term goals.
