Thread: Why is "everything", but dialating time possible in a lucid dream

Ok tell me if this might give time dialtion any more of a chance to happen. What if instead of your brain having to make all new memories for the dream to last for say a day dream time vs an hour real time, it was able to take memories that were already there inside your head from the past and just slightly change them to make them feel more real and of their own. Seems like your processing speed or time wouldnt make as much of a difference if this was possible. I just googled what a memory physically looks like and I found that your memories actually do change as you make new ones and learn new things. Does this make any sense or am I on the wrong track here completely?

Sounds like a reasonable thought. You may be able to reduce the need for processing speed if the data is already in place.
