Slowing Down Time in Lucidity

pedro i would like for you to explain what it was like when you woke up from the 6 year dream.... and time does exist or we wouldn't age

Everyone would like Pedro to return, but dont count on it...

As for your deduction, ilovelucid, I do believe it to be an oversimplification. However, yes, time exists; it is, in fact our perception of it that is faulty...

I believe time in a dream can be seemingly slowed down, to make the dream last for days or maybe even years.
As Einstien proved, time is relative. Also, there is a meditative technique called time distortion which some musicians practise, where you meditate untill you're perception of time is actually slowed down, thus, you can perform incredibly difficult or fast peices of music in 'slow motion', allowing you the time to make sure you play it right

I believe the exact same thing can be done in a lucid dream, so I tend not to agree with LaBerge's theory about the 'movie' trick making our dreams seem longer.

I think time is time no matter how you look at it. There are still 24 hours in a day.

During dreams you can slow down time but not in RL.

okay, time is just the measure of motion. if everthing in the universe right down to the last atom stopped moving right now...time wud effectively 'stop'. now in a dream, the is no movement (unless u want to count the electical pulses in ur brain...but then ur talkin about the speed of 'thought' which ,as far as i know, has not been measured). without motion there is no time. i dare to suggest that our concept of time in dreams (whether lucid or non lucid) is simply a product of what we are used to IRL. time is a law of physics just like gravity, and how many of us havnt at least bent if not broken the law of gravity in our dreams. laws of physics cannot be applied to dreams because there is nothing physical about them...which actually makes this entire thread pointless....if u want to put a time limit on dreams then u might as well try to weigh them next overspannen

So we would need to be moving near lightspeed to have these effects in our dreams... hehe. Anyone has a bed called "enterprise"? lol.

lol I was just suggesting that if time is elastic, and if our perception of time can be altered via adreneline, then it may be possible to alter our perception of time in LD's ...

I don't know if it has been said before in this thread but neurotransmitters in you brain may dramatically modify your time perception. For instance, experiments have shown that duration between a cause and its effect seems shorter, probably so that it's easier for us to make a relation between them.

ah i am thinking that time is the same IWL as it is in LD in accordance with Laberge's experiments.
I do however believe that you can create a perception of any given period of time, be it 2 weeks or 2 years.
I have found that often times when i dream that i am somebody else, my subconcious will "create" memmories for that person in order to rationalize their actions and there place in my dreams, i belive that the same cane be for dreams, that you can expirience dreams of a seemingly extended period of time but only be dreaming real time, but having it feel like a long time due to the newly created "memories"

lol, fits in nicely with your sig:p

but it's not that extreme, i think it's more like
Put your hand on a hot stove for half an hour and it feels like an hour. Sit next to a pretty girl for half an hour and it feels like a minute.
or something like that:p, but indeed, an unpleasant experience seems to take longer than a pleasant experience happening in the same period of time
