Time?

[Verto]

I dont know how one would measure this but I thought I would ask anyways, does anyone know how long you can spend in a dream and how it correlates to RL time? Do events happen at the same speed would you say, or is it impossible to tell?

this is what I wrote of the topic on another current thread asking the same question: probably going to spark a little bit of debate, because the truth is that we honestly don't know yet!! But here are my experiences/beliefs: ...This one is the most up to debate and probably will be debated. There is some scientific support to the notion that time passes at the same speed as it does in real life. But many people are able to slow time down, or fly at supersonic speeds, and I personally believe that it can vary. Some people say that if a dream appears to have lasted for a long length of time, it's because you teleported of flew quickly somewhere, so it seemed like you traveled in addition to all the stuff you actually did. As I said, there's no firm answer to this one (unfortunately a lot of lucid dreaming is like this), but there is a lot of curiosity! If you browse the forums there are quite a few threads on this asking people their experiences and beliefs regarding the passage of time in lucid dreams. So, interpret what you read as you will, and maybe in the future we'll have a lot of science supporting one end of it. I'm skeptical of the few studies that have been done.
