Thread: Stopping real time in a lucid dream

Speaking of shrooms, you could just start eating large amounts of them fairly frequently until you've become familiar with the feeling that half an hour has lasted an eternity, then try to recreate that in a LD. That's somewhere in my goals.

I did this in a non-lucid a couple of nights ago.. I was looking at a watch in class, and I just slowed it down, until everything was moving so slow, it was almost at a stop.

I dont like all this science. Anything is possible if you belive it 100%
I have once had a dream... non lucid... and according to my perception the dream lasted well over a few weeks. I went to sleep in my dream and woke up several times. It was one of the most coherant dreams i ever had, and was almost like a second life.

Imagination sets you free, science restrains and creates fear. Expect the unexpected and belive in the 'impossible' and you can do anything you want.

You're kidding, right? Okay, how about this: go down to the local airport and creep aboard a plane. Walk into the cockpit. Fly the plane to Cincinnati on an empty tank using only the power of your mind. Can you do it? No. The universe, for the most part, adheres to set laws of physics, and I'm afraid it takes more than sheer willpower to break one or more of these laws. The calcium ions in your brain can only move so quickly.

If there's a limit I think it's breakable. If limits couldn't be breakable why would competitions exist?

If a limit is broken there was no limit in the first place.

I have to say this thread has been an AMAZING read. Now I really want to have a Lucid Dream last. And learn how to do it consistantly.

With my obsession of Pandora (and a few other people i've seen on the forum) making it last a day or a week would truely complete my life.

I don't think so. Think about our stomach: it can take a X limit of volume today, but if we eat daily the max quote it will eventually expand. I cannot run a marathon right now, but if I train I will expand my limits. See what I mean?

The limit is just higher than what we thought it was.

I know this seems to contradict what has already been said, but you can actually stop time completely in a dream.

For the past several months, about once week i get one of those very vivid and real dreams, the first one was when i was in my school's band room, and i made the ASL sign for "f", which i put over my right eye, and time stopped. Not just the clocks, but all motion ceased, except for me. However, the dream figures eventually began to all look at me, and gesturing the exact sign that stopped time in the first place, an F over the right eye. So i repeated the sign, and time went back to normal.

But it doesn't stop there. Four weeks after the dream mentioned above happened, i learned how to completely freeze time and only by my command would it resume again. This dream was when i as confronting some horrible monster thing, and i turned around,instead of being afraid, and yelled "PAUSE!" that was it, time completely stopped. Not like the first attempt, where it stopped but eventually began to work. No, time froze,period.

So for the past few months, all I've had to do is yell "pause" in my dream, and it works, every time. I'm actually getting pretty good at it. Now, i can freeze time, and still use telekinesis or when I'm flying, which I've been able to do since kindergarten, without any error or glitch. Even at one point, i yelled rewind, and the scene replayed from the beginning, while i moved in normal time forward.

Seriously, if you've had any trouble with slowing down time, and trying desperately to achieve stopping time just for the sake of doing it, consider yelling "pause", and knowing that word will work, and it will. That is the wonder of dreams, anything is possible, even stopping time.

I second that, its also not bad i had a fun time sitting and talking with one of my favorite anime characters under a tree once, was really nice.
