Before you read this thread, I would like to mention that no point in this thread is un-disputably true. Like almost everything in this forum, it is theory. Although, I assure you that it is based quite solidly. If you have a problem with one of the points, Post about it. Its a discussion forum after all. But at the same time realize that this is for a non-religious/spiritual look at LDs. This does not necessarily apply if you think LDs are designed to serve a purpose along those lines. |

good points, very good points |
|
hey, this is a really good post, and i like it...most of what i read i've found to be true within myself...but like someone else said, i have the same problem of making myself believe what's right in front of my eyes and then doing a reality check. |

try to go back and make them last.'
And thats where the control techniques come in =P |

Yeah, this is what I generally expected people to disagree with. Its also what i've been trying to decypher for a while. |
|
I agree with all the things you've said 110%, after all, a dream is what you make it to be and it's a good dream as long a you enjoy it |
|
You know...I want to just say that I disagree with you on this point...but I guess I can't because I probably haven't tried to see if there is meaning/metaphors in even my most illogical dreams. Then again...when you want to, or are looking for meaning in something and are trying to relate to your own life...it's a heck of alot easier to find it. We see what we want to see. It's almost like playing chess with yourself. Do you get what I mean by that? |
|
Very good points, and they're pretty much all true. |

Yeah, but alot of it is a little more then just anology. Like, in your dream you had a window. Later in the day you go to work and see that exact window and are like Hey! that was in my dream! That window in the dream, will then relate perfectly to how you view it in real life. Lets say its the window that you boss always looks out of to make sure everybody's working. You might have a dream where you're hiding from an alien or something thats shooting at you out of the same window. |

Interesting read. |

You say we experience time in our dreams because we expect time to progress naturally while we are dreaming. So then, do you believe that it is possible, to learn to stop time in a dream...and remain there and live out a dream life for years...while no time is passing in the real world? And going beyond merely stopping time, since time is whatever you expect it to be...could you also move backwards in time? Hmm, now that's a strange thought... |
|
Hmm, good point Aquanina. Stopping time for years in your dream, but its only hours in real life. Time would have no point then... |

Do you mean make the dream time go so quickly that it seems that normal time is standing still? |
|
Basically I'm just talking about time dilation...where it feels as though you've been dreaming for hours or days, when it's really just a few minutes. Can you somehow manage to stop/dilate time in your dream...so that...you can spend months or years living in a lucid dream...and it's really only a few minutes in real time. And if you can slow down or dilate time...can you stop it completely? Can you experience a lucid dream while no time is passing in the real world? |
|
Well..... Time dialation is wierd. I'm alomst certain that you couldn't make real time stand still in comparison to dream time tho. |
|
I also wonder if time dialation is consciously possible. |
|
Lots of people seem to wonder about time dialation 0.o |
|
In reply to most of the posts on 'time dilation'. I do not believe it to be possible manually, unless you figure out what your mind is doing to make this happen automatically. |
|
I dunno...I definitely think it's possible. I have a close friend who spent a month in a lucid dream. He had a life there...and was happy...friends...a girlfriend. A whole month's worth of LD...then he woke up...and was terribly confused and very sad as well to find that all his friends, and the girl he loved were not real. It really affected him...enough so that...he at times forgot that it was only a dream and actually confused reality with dreams a bit. |
|
Hmmm. autosuggestion is probably the best bet for getting time dialation in dreams. |
