Thread: A couple Questions that maybe I missed.

Well, I have a couple questions about LDs and how to reach them.

1.) When you are in a lucid dream, does it seem to last the whole time you are sleeping?? (meaning does time go by regularly or fast like most dreams)

2.) When you are in a lucid dream, <ahh...how do I explain this> can you do stuff like go on your computer, type a word on notepad, save it in my documents. then wake up and go on your computer and will that document be there?

Thank you--and goodnight.

1. I think when I have my lucid dreams, the dreams seems to longer in the dream state than it actually does in waking life. Like I might have a 3 minute lucid dream and think it went 10 minutes when it actually only went 3 minutes in real time.

2. No. The dreams are all inside your head, you are not changing anything in the physical real world. Even though you are lucid in some dreams it is still difficult to perform complex tasks like saving a document into a folder.

1) My lucid dreams seem to happen in real time, that is 20 minutes in an LD seem like 20 minutes. On occasion, I have been able to stretch them out, but not too often.

2) Griffon is right on that point. It would really freak me out to find stuff on my computer after LDing.

Hey there

Lucid Dreams last shorter then most normal dreams for me because Ill end up slipping back into a regular dream. Its hard to tell how long they last.

Now for number two...NO. You can in no way affect the outside world from your dreams

Okay, thank you.
