Thread: Stopping real time in a lucid dream

Dream time is roughly equivalent to real time. It is more or less a fixed value, and when you take 1/3 the time in a lucid to do something that would take an hour to do in reality, you're going to miss stuff. There will be scene skips or shortcuts taken, and you won't feel like you're conscious for a full hour.

That would be interesting to try in a dream... hmm

Yeah, people do dream drugs all the time. I don't promote them or do them in reality, but shrooms are still on my lucid task list.

Well, yes, I know this is a popular belief among secular dreamers but personally I am undecided (there are anecdotal evidences from advanced dreamers such as Walms, or Pedro from LD4ALL) that's why I was interested is there principal known limitation which could make it impossible for sure.

I've eaten shrooms in a dream. I was in a park with my friends having a picnic, and my friends saw I had shrooms and they wanted me to get rid of them. I accidently dropped the bag they were in and I was searching all over the ground and eating all the shrooms I could find lol. The dream ended before it could get trippy

I've also eaten shrooms in real life and then gone to bed. That's kinda fun (you have really strange dreams). You have to take an extremely low dose though because with a high dose it's impossible to fall asleep.

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.
