Thread: What is the longest dream you ever had?

I experience instantaneous setting changes as if time were passing by, but I am never convinced that my dreams were actually lasting anything more than a few minutes. I would compare my dreams to how a movie plays. 15 minutes of a movie can express 3 days of events, but it was still only 15 minutes of experiences. That is how my dream feels if that makes any sense!

Do you still get all the information of the 3 days that you would dream of, like it's fast forwarded but you still know what exactly happened?
Or is it like you say as in a movie that you just 'skip' non important parts?

Same here GetDreaming; my dreams that feel hours long are in hindsight just a collection of key events that my subconscious pieced together to form a coherent story. I remember an NLD that felt like 6 hours but I only remember the start, the end, and some 'snapshots' of events in between. I don't have detailed info of the entire 6 hours of the dream story; I just have a general idea of the plot.
