Thread: Longest LD Experience you can get

If you have one of those lucid dreams that last say 50 years, does it actually feel like you're living a whole life? That would be interesting. If you did that every night you would feel like you've lived for 1000s of years

Living in a dream would be awesome! I would probably cut up my dream in sections. First I'd do extremely scary thing(being careful not to wake myself), then I'd relax in a private place alone, talk to people, then more scary stuff, then some fun stuff, some more relaxing...and it goes on and on....

I wonder if you can control the time spent in dreams somehow...
I really want to try this somehow but I'm no where near that level.

for the ten I have had the longest was or at least seemed about 5 minutes.

In the dream that I mentioned earlier, I remember it lasting hours on end, maybe 2 or 3 hours. But once woke up, the memories compressed into small fragments, as if looking back on a distant childhood memory. So it wasn't 2 hours of memories, but i knew it was a 2 hour dream....

Wasn't this in a thread before?

Well, anyway, I've had lucids last for about an hour. I know because I looked at the clock before and after. I wake myself up from these long lucids when I realize that I'm forgetting things because I want to write down what's happened. I'm sure that I could have ones that last longer; if I didn't wake myself, who knows how long I'd be lucid.

Actually I wouldn't be surprised if I have had lucids that are much longer. The thing is I wouldn't remember if I did. If I have a lucid dream in the morning before waking up I won't remember the part where I became lucid so I couldn't say how long I'd been lucid for. Sometimes I suspect that I've been lucid all night since I tend to both WILD in the evenings and wake up in the morning from lucids.

My longest lucid dream lasted for what seemed a few days.


My general time stopping methods are looking at a clock and then stopping the hands, destroying digital clocks, assuring myself that time has stopped.

It took me a while, but it helped me to increase the length of my dreams.

dang that sucks!


My lucid dreams last forever! my first few only lasted about 10 minutes, but after I got the hang of it, they last from about 30 - 45 minutes. One lasted an hour once... and I was starting to think that it was real life because 1) it felt so real and 2) it had lasted so long. I had to keep RCing every 5 minutes cause I would start to think "there's no way this is a dream. It doesn't feel right"

too bad I dont really LD all that much anyway. or havent lately at least

I have no idea how people can judge how long they were in an LD for, seeing as they were asleep. Anyone want to clarify this?

I can say that my longest happened during a 135 minute sleeping period, and that I would say it seemed to last maybe 10-15 minutes. Of course, I thought dreams only lasted for seconds, and I'd think that the total amount of time that it takes me to think through and relive the dream is probably the same length of time as it took to occur, if you know what I mean.

well since my lucids have been short I estimate the time one lucid went like this.

1) walking through a store
2)realized that I was in a dream (the "shit I'm dreaming! moment)
3)ran down the hall for about 30 meters
4) summoned a girl from my school
5)walked over to her and was about to fuck her
6) realized running through this store naked would be more fun
7)started undressing
8)dream became burry all of a sudden
9)dream ended

now I think the time it took me to do all that was about 2 minutes, the fault im quessing for waking up may have been due to excitment or just trying to rush every thing. either way I plan to do things differantly in the next lucid.
