so do these 8 month long dreams feel like 8 months have passed or is it just that the dream takes place over that time. I have had dreams where I spent a weekend someplace but after waking it doesnt feel as if it had been 3 days, just feels like a long dream. Do people really have extended dreams that feel as long as they are. I mean actually dream for days and all but actually feel that time pass. So you could for example start learning to sew, and spend 8 months practicing nothing but sewing, I would imagine when you woke from that you would know something about sewing. That is what is intriguing to me. But if you just say or feel that you've spent 8 moths sewing as opposed to 'really' spending that time you wouldnt learn anything. I hope this makes sense, Like at the end of the dream you say to yourself I just spent 8 moths sewing, but you technically just skipped it all. that sucks, I'd want to actually be there for those 8 months in the dream.
