Thread: How long do LD's last?

Normally about twice as long from the middle to the end

Do you mean dreamtime or real time, for example could 5 mins real time feel like 30 mins?

Total dream duration can "feel" like any length of time - kind of like in a movie when the scene shifts to a later time, but really it's only 3 seconds later. Your mind can perceive the time span however it wants.

But as far as continuous dream "action," there is a lot of evidence that shows that time passes at about the same rate as when you're awake. So make the most of the time you have (in dreams and while awake).

Good advice!

I feel like an ass for posting that now lol - But yeah as above there are 2 time zones as I like to call them, dream and real.

I have had LDs last real time for minutes but seem like hours and visa versa

i have had a couple of ld's that have felt about a day long but were probably no where near that long.

My shortest LD was around 5 minutes.. my longest was around 1 1/2 hours.
I'd say on average that they last about 20 minutes or so.

Well then it sucks, because I wanted to use LD's to practice piano :S due to lack of 'day' time.

Don't worry. Even if you want to play the piano in a LD, you'd probably end up flying most of the time.

Don't be so sure about that.

Perhaps after the rist LDs and excietment over, (if I had like an hour LD) I'd practiced piano, or played soccer with DCs
