      Wierdest Thing ever

      Now everyone has been telling me this. It takes a certain amount of hours for people to dream ( if I'm right). It took me 30 minutes to have a maybe 3 - 4 hour dream. I swear. The dream was so freaking long and I thought when I woke up it was 3:00 - 4:00, but it was just 30 minutes later! I went to sleep at 12:13 p.m. I know this because I turned to Nick at Nite which give Home Improvement at this time. When I went to sleep, It was the first episode, when I woke up, it was at the second episode. I was lucid for most of the dream too since I lucid pretty naturally.

      Hi.

      Yea it is possible under certain conditions to experience dreams that feel longer than they are. Certainly with sleep deprivation and/or alternative sleep cycles. You weren't trying any of those were you? They would explain your experience.

      Dream time vs real time is a pretty hot topic. I've definitely experienced time dialation in my dreams. I've had dreams that clocked in at 10-20 minutes, where I had at least an hour or more worth of experiences. Lots of people will cite studies that say it is impossible, but they are mostly misinterpreting these studies. These studies mostly show that dream time can coincide with real time when the dreamer wants it to. This does not mean it has to.

      When it comes to dreaming early in the night, its not common but it does happen. Some people just have wacky sleep schedules, and sometimes your brain will just decide it wants a REM period for whatever reason.

      I've often felt that my dreams (or even thoughts during a normal awake state) do not necessarily apply to time.

      For some reason it seems as if I can think very very fast (as in between sentences of talking to people while I'm awake, I'll be about a couple of paragraphs of though). And in dreams, I've had ones that seem ridiculously long.

      But the dream bit may be just that all of your other dreams are relatively shorter.
      EDIT:
      The awake thing may just be that I am insane.
