To answer your question. Well I've been doing DC so long I guess I have 2 kinds of dreams. I pretty much know every time I'm in dream right from the start. The start of dream is usually random because most of the time I don't try to enter into a specific dream (I can enter a dream directly from where I left off the last time though if I want). But once there I usually just "Free Dream" and try not to interfere and let it follow it's own path naturally to try to learn from them. If I don't like where is going and or are getting bored I can change it or myself into any situation almost instantly.

Like last night I was kind of getting bored in the dream I was in and decided to change it up. I become a character I use now and then. He doesn't have a name. But he is indestructible and the strength of the Hulk. He is fun to just shake people up in my dream. I've had dreams I've continued over days or even continued months or years later.

I'm not sure exactly how long they are actually lasting. Why? Because I've tested this out to see how long they actually are in real time. I've induced a dream and kept track of everything I'm doing in the dream. Maybe 1-2 hour might have passed in the dream. But I force myself to wake up and look at the clock again. Maybe only 15 minutes have passed. At least for me it seems like the dream world time seems to move faster than real time.

Now to the false memories. Yes, I have had those. They are so weird. You swear something in your dream was a real memory later in your awake world. I'm better at knowing which are which now. But sometimes I still get fooled because my dreams are so vivid and seem so real now. I find the dream memories I get fooled on are the ones I don't wake up in the middle of.

Any more questions? I'm happy to share what I've learned on my own the last 30+ years of doing this on my own.
