Thread: Is this possible ?

Is it possible to be in a dream that will according to my perception last for hours,days, or years ?. I want to experience long periods of time in a dream. After reading the short story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" by Ambrose Bierce I hatched the idea to take a "dream vacation" . Once a person is Lucid is it possible for that person to determine the duration of their dream ? Is it possible to create any environment you desire when lucid ?

The idea of a dream vacation where I'd be able to take a break from it all is one of the reasons I've decided to start learning to dream lucidly. Not only that but I want to try something new out !

And more importantly how ?
How would someone make a dream last for as long as they wanted ?
