Why settle for just one year. Why not hundreds? Thousands? No, Millions! |

Hell yeah! I would give/do almost anything to make this happen
Are you insane? This would be absolutely terrible! No way that I want this to happen.
A year is a bit long.. I'd rather have an hour or two.
Why such a big gap? I want: (put your preferred length in a comment)
It's a really difficult choice.. I don't want to make one choice for the rest of my life. (elaborate?)
I wouldn't mind having the option to have a year of dream time in a lucid dream. As someone who admittedly enjoys the escapist element of it, being able to retreat into a dream for a year each night would be wonderful. After all the thread creates a hypothetical scenario where you have a year of lucid time each night. If it were a nonlucid dream then it might be easier to lose your bearings on reality; but in the case of an automagically lucid dream I don't think that would be a problem. |

@FireFlyMan, Damn that's a really good question.. |

Found something very similar to the "experiencing a year (or more) in a night of dreaming" discussion. I came across a cool article "Inception's inception? 38 stories that take place largely within dreams" and one I checked out was "The Inner Light" which was episode 25 of season 5 of Star Trek: The Next Generation (for ease of locating on Netflix or elsewhere). In the episode, the character is seen with REM-like eye movements under his closed eyelids and he experiences what seems to be a few decades of another life while in this induced state (which seems to be dreaming). When he wakes up they tell him how long he's been passed out, which fits within the timing of a dream. |

My lucid dreaming journey: http://www.dreamviews.com/members/fo...boutme#aboutme
I remember reading a reddit thread about someone waking up in a hospital from a super long dream where they had a whole life and people he loved, he said he was super disoriented for a few weeks after waking up. I wonder what it would be like to wake up from that. |
|
I been going over my significant other's dream journal because I remembered her telling me a very lengthy dream couple of years back. This dream spans through the course of 3 years within the dream and it all took place in a single night. It was a very disorienting for her and those around her. The dream mimicked waking life so she had quite a bit of false memories to go through. She was not lucid in this dream though, but I'd still imagine it will be just as disorienting. Just putting this out there for anyone seeking time dilated dreams. It's not all fun and games. ^^' |

Not all fun and games, but it is pretty damn cool |

So i dont feel left out. |

I would absolutely love this, but I'd also like an opportunity to get a little nerdy here and do some math. |

That certainly is a nice red button you have there.

Press it.
Interesting, i thought about that but i still chose to lessen the amount of time. I wondered why i would give up that much time if it would feel like i was living longer too. I suppose it just depends on the person but it's also the thought that sometimes more seems amazing however when you get into it and there's no turning back, you may regret it. I mean let's turn the tables and say you wouldn't be able to wake up in btw until you make it to year time. That way you get the full experience and don't just take what you can get than call off the dream. How long would you guys go like that if it started today? |

In the end, I suppose it comes down to the perception of the individual. As far as if the dreams must last a year, I haven't been in a very long lucid dream yet, so I couldn't really answer that until I get I feel for that kind of experience. However, in my perspective, I would still want to do it, if only because I want to experience being alive for as long as I can; my stance on this may change if I experience something similar to that first-hand, but until then I suppose I will maintain my opinion in that situation until then. |

Thanks for explaining SpaceGod. I understand why you chose to go that path more now and i think that's a fair point. For me being in a long lucid is fun until you reach a point where you ask yourself if you've overstayed your welcome. Mostly because of waking life responsibilities. If you don't have to worry about time in nightly year lucids or waking life responsibilities I suppose year lucids feel like you were in the hyperbolic time chamber from DBZ conjuring and experiencing things until the dream ends. Also, when it comes to company dream characters can be with you until you wake up. Now this reminds me of an movie/episode from foster's home of imaginary friends where frankie(think that was her name) was kidnapped by an imaginary friend and brought to a imaginary world where she had to made the decision to leave or stay. Sorry, i need to stop coming up with comparisons from cartoons but i felt like it was worth mentioning. XD |

TLDR; Once I feel confident that this is going to happen regularly, I would become seriously detached from the world, my main goal above all would be to figure out how to not die or get sick, my secondary goal would be to read fiction and stuff on dream sites and explore other people's fantasies for ideas on what to do while dreaming. I would treat my friends and family very nicely, just like I treat anyone I don't hate and very rarely see. |

No problem. ^w^That was a good read Shiroyasha. I enjoyed reading about what you would do and feel like. I think i would go through something similar except you dont have to worry about death if you wake up consistently early. Like at 6am or something and it just felt like a year. However, you would be anxious after much time passes.>. <So it does make sense if you think about it like that. |

I definitely wouldn't mind being guaranteed however much lucid time I want each night. But I wouldn't eat poop for it. |

Here is what I am up to in the dream world!

This might be slightly off topic as It's not 1 year time-dilated dream, but rather 7 years. There were moment's in the dream I'm not fully lucid as well. If anyone wants a sampler of a long time-dilated dream check out Story of Cocoa in my Dream Journal. |
|
If anyone claims they lucid dream every single night, thats cool, i just personally believe it would mentally exhaust almost anyone (like not sleeping 2-3 days your memory/thought process could easily f*ck with you)..if I continuously had lucid dreams for two weeks id be twitching out on my couch, borderline psychotic, doing reality checks every two minutes |
|
It's very rare for people to be lucid the whole night, so for most people I don't see how it could affect quality of sleep so much... I'm curious where this very common idea that LDing too much wears you out comes from... I've never read somebody saying that it's a problem for them. And I've never felt any sort of fatigue when I've had periods of nightly LD's. I'm doing nightly lucids right now actually, not noticing any difference at all... |

@prisonplanet we can pretend that in lucid time we don't feel the effects of not sleeping |
|
Dabu dabu ai!! Oweeeee~~
Lighrkvader ive had lucid dream experience's that appeared significantly longer than others, when i awoke, definitely experienced fatigue, perhaps its psychosomatic and i dont doubt there could be numerous explanations (yours sound reasonable) i dont assume lucidity only occurs in rem but have read during rem sleep our body may shut down systems in our brain responsible for creating memories (im unsure if this applies to lucid dreams) especially if someone's repeatedly in some heightend state of awareness night after night, some researchers believe we are designed to forget our dreams because if we remembered all our dreams we might not be able to distinguish dreams from real memories |
|
i dont have lucid dream but once in a blue moon so this sounds like heaven to me. I would practice not being impulsive and self indulgent. i would also play though and be magic. I have had non lucids where i can use telekinesis and summon fireballs...it is amazing. I would have the adventures i couldnt in waking life because lets face it doing some of those things will land you in prison lol |

Dilds=5 Wilds=1 total LDs=6

Yeah. The memory is largely turned off, which is one of the main reasons we aren't quite ourselves as soon as we get lucid.. You can turn it back on though. There is a guide on it somewhere on the forum. I think it's called the three fundamentals or something along those lines... A guide to increasing lucidity. |

I would totally want to be able to have a solid year's worth of LDing a night... If I could wake up whenever I want to. If not, I'd rather just have an hour or two a night, so time spent lucid feels more special. Still though, it's a tough call. |
