Yeah I've always been confused by how much control we have over the length of our LDs, or if the dream length is ultimately controlled by the natural length of our REM cycles. And that said, can we really control the length of our REM cycles, whereby increasing the length of our LDs?

I've never really tested these things because my LD length and even frequency still happen kinda random for me, even within the sleep schedule that's most conducive to inducing them. Sigh... so many question marks. Glad I have every night for the rest of my life to experiment on it
