Thread: How long do your lucid dreams feel?

I have had 2 lucid dreams, one was about 2 seconds, got excited and woke up. the other was a little bit longer, maybe 2 mins.

I think lucid dreaming is the cats ass, and I havn't even scratched the surface.

Once I get better at prolonging my dreams, how long can they get? I'm guessing it depends on which REM cycle you're in but....

Pun intended? Either way it made me giggle helplessly.

haha yeah


when i wrote it it just kinda came out that way, i noticed the play on words and decided to leave it.

I think my experiences are about 2sec-30 min... Dont know exactly...

But it certainly feels longer....

generally my Lucid Dreams seem to last hours. However, I think that usually when I lucid dream I do so through the whole dream because I like to either have control or non-control, not switch back and forth.

i honestly begin to tell you how long they last, because in one of my other posts the entire dream felt like a whole day, and i dont remember anything missing from the day, so the dream you could say was a day long, but who knows that could have been a dream that laasted 5 minutes, you never know...

anyway................. it couldnt have been more that 8 hours... i didnt sleep any longer than that

haha i left out the COULDNT in the post above

all of mine so far have been anywhere from 2 seconds to maybe 5 minutes (although the longest one felt about 3 minutes) but im not sure completely about real world time

i need to have some more succesful ones in which i can prolong my lucidity

<< Its useful.

I seem to wake up when I am more active so when I ld i try to take it slow so i don't wake up.

My dreams feel like they last like anywhere between a few minutes to a few hours.

Usually a few minutes but i can prolong them to a couple hours.

hey man, you're like 2 hours away from me... go flames go... :-) a little late, but oh well...

i usaully get LD that at least feel really long, i dont often have super short LDs, but that is just me, we all have different dream worlds/brains

Mine seem at the longest to last 5 minutes. Some of them might of been up to 10 minutes though but they seem a lot shorter.

We actually stayed on subject in this thread wow. ooooops broke the chain sorry.

I generally recall (or so I think) all of my Lucid dream content and if I were to actually act out what happens they would not last more than five minutes. 10 if I am lucky.
My Lucid dreams seem in real time to me. Anyone else?If I were to walk to the neighbors yard Lucid it feels no different than when I am awake. In the sense of time that is.

Same here

Lucid dreams should feel like real time or else it isn't lucid. Well there is kind of a grey area between lucid and normal dream where you not really either one. That can be a bit different but I would say you havn't really had a lucid dream untill you get one thats seems real and not just a memory. Infact some nonlucid dreams can even seem like that.

It always feel like real time when i am lding

well sometimes your mind can be tricked into thinking the dream was days or even years by a scene where the moon goes down and the sun comes up for example


or other things to simulate alot of time going by when it has really only been minutes

Yea that happens to me all the time.

when I have an LD it doesn't feel like real time. I had one Lucid Dream, for instance where it literally felt like it lasted a whole day. but i was thinking about trying something that i read in one of those LD FAQ's where you can stop real time. maybe it somehow made my dream that LD that night feel longer because i read it(?)

anything can affect dreams so that FAQ probably did it.
