I have had lucid dreams which has lasted everything from 1 second to 30-40 minutes I had a normal dream once which appeared to go on for 4 years, but I think that one left out a lot of details.
There are many ways to make a lucid dream last longer. An important thing I have learned, is when it feels like the dream is fading, do not open the eyes! It is possible to go back into the dream, or go into another one, by spinning or using one of the other techniques. Of course, this is different for different people. I am sure there is a way that works well for you out there.
I disagree. I still appreicate this reality… plus I can’t sleep forever anyways so I have to live in this reality as well. Plus, I can’t induce it at will everytime.
Hmm. My first was about 20 seconds, my second was 5 minutes, and night before last, I had one that was an estimated 10-30 minutes long. (how’s that for specific??) I found that in the long LD (high-level, too!), I could make everything more realistic and less … real, I suppose, at the same time by examining my hands. (The seven or eight fingers on one hand thing freaked me out for a second! )
Sorry about the horribly off-topic post there. I really felt the need to brag about my achievement!
I think I can help I had a few lucid dreams by now and in one I was thinking I have to stay lucid and I recorded my voice : I am dreaming and I will stay lucid till I want that it fades away and it helped I was lucid for about an hour and then I was affraid that I wouldn’t here my alarm to go to school so I got back in my dream I hoped you liked my advice
My longest LD was four hours, the shortest not even a second. (That was the best dream ever!) (Then again it depends on the meaning of time that passes IN the dream, it could be anywhere for me: from one second to billions of years )
My longest LD was 20 minutes. Then the second longest was 10 minutes. My average duration for a LD is about 1 or 2 minutes.
I mean, duration in real time, not in dream time.
I cant really tell how long my dreams are… It seems to me like they are only 2 minutes. But the things I do in my dreams would take much longer then two minutes. It would be more like… 10 - 15 minutes… but still it only seems to be around 2-5 minutes
For some, it may be a minute. For overs it may be more.
For me personally, I suppose and average one may last 10 to 15 minutes. And a long one may lst up to 30/40 minutes.
You’ll find that your first LD’s are short, but as you get more experienced, they start to get longer and longer .
Hi fishdabaz! Welcome to LD4all!
I merged your topic with a previous one about the same subject, so you can find more answers and they are not scattered in the forum.
I’m looking at my DJ and I answer you immediatly.
Hmm… Longest; for about 1.5hours, normaly; only 20-45min.
and som; for about 10sec to 20sec (dependig if im “slipping away”). Usualy i wake up by noise in my room (to day i woke up by a bee, actualy (after 1min LD’ing)) or closing my eyes by mistake (opening them wakes me up )
The average duration is about 3 mn, but as you can see, it doesn’t sound. A mathematical mean has significance when the histogram follows a gaussian curve, what is not the case.
Only 1 LD in 3 is a “good” LD, which lasts 2 minutes or more.
Only 1 LD in 5 is a “very good” LD, which lasts 5 minutes or more.
But I’m not a “very good” LD’er…
last time I posted was probably about 3 years ago. so… Im back. probably for good, Ive been having several lucid dreams naturally lately so I decided to get back into it so I can have even more LDs…
