Can We Really Spend Years In A Lucid Dream?

I think it's quite possible.. I mean in our minds, we can do ANYTHING. Our minds have the potential to expand time in a dream. So why not expand it to a few days, months, even years..especially if we're consciously controlling it.

There is a difference between 'doing anything' within the dream state, and doing 'anything', with implications on physical impossibility. People often use the 'we can do anything in a dream' to believe that they can see the future, or communicate with Gods, or travel to other dimensions and turn into werewolves and things. People tend to take the word 'anything' a little to literally sometimes, I think.
