Thread: time in dreamworld

i was wondering what is the longest LD you have had. im wondering if all lucid dreams are just a couple of minutes or less. has anyone had a LD that lasted for an hour or so. where you could just sit and relax in your dream and watch the world go by and change. Does anyone have dreams that feel epic or do they just feel like random thoughts?

Thanks for the feedback.

I personally havent had one yet. But, I did alot of research and this is what I heard. I heard at most people have lifelong ld dreams. Well, its not really life long, but its like watching a movie thats lasts a persons life but you only see snippets of your life. Most of the time thought they last 30 minutes to 2 hours. I guess most of the time its only a couple minutes for begginners.

i only ask because i am determined to have my first LD tonight

stephen laberge did an experiment and found that dreams are in real time. Meaning 10 seconds of a dream is 10 seconds in real life.

Dreams, lucid or otherwise, last as long as your REM period, which gets longer over the course of the night. I would say that 20-30 minutes is a fairly long lucid dream.

I have had a few ld's that felt like a few days long but maybe it was only a few hours long.
