Time Dilation in Dreams
Hi,
I have experienced several time dilated dreams, but like shared dreaming it's one of those things that can't be evaluated by individual study.

Giz is a very notable figure in the lucid dreaming community and he believes time dilation is impossible. What do you think? Have you experienced time dilated dreams? it doesn't have to be lucid.
I think the main problem with the current theory against time dilation is in assuming that all eye movements are translated to waking. Perhaps, only some are.

It's very easy to become sceptical or dismissive even, but it doesn't mean it's impossible. I would like to believe there's Soo much we don't yet understand or yet to experience. There's many stories of near death out of body experience, but how can we prove it? Rather than demystifying it isn't it enough to believe and have faith? A kind of metaphysics as were. I would say the mystique is the hypothesis that we're trying will in reality. Scientific evidence can be shaped to prove or disprove an argument. Bad science is when we're concealing evidence that can help us find the truth. All of it needs to be presented.
There's instances where people's senses are highten in a fight or flight scenario where time might seem to pass slowly as our reaction speed increases. I think it's possible to take that at will and maybe can experience it in dreams. The mind can manifest so many things into physical existence. Certainly the mind can tap into the secrets our body posseses. ^~^
Right oh @kittysilloutte but I think we all err by thinking time is a linear function. We silly humans have a hard time imagining time as other than then, now, later. The reality is, time is fluid.
In a dream state @omnithumbs time is closer to it's true nature. Be it a lucid dream, one on the edge of consciousness, or one in REM sleep or knocked out cold. An hour long dream may seem like a week in Paris or that same hour only a few seconds. So I guess it's truly a matter of perception rather than slow or fast. Think of time like SBD being pegged to a dollar, time seems pegged to the speed of light. Some times it's a dollar, sometimes it's not.
Carl Jung comes to mind in writing this reply, along with S Hawkins, Einsteinium , even the coke head Freud... Maybe it's a collective of all the great minds or another dimension, or some childhood fetish to be a mother to a goat's mother goat. Baa'aad joke. 😂 sorry I crack myself up.
