7 year long lucid dream

[lungdart]

My first sucssesfull lucid dream was an interesting experience. It was a series of several dreams. I became lucid in everyone. I gained the relization that I was in a dream, and started to experiment (im trying this so I can practice playing insturments in my sleep to get an extra 8 hours of practice a day. ) So as I started trying different things i could do, A dream deamon showed up. He was a flying goblin, very old, with a spear (resmebling the golbin fimiliar in castle vania SOTN but old) and he had every power I had, except his didnt wear him out (I was distracted from realizing I was dreaming by this deamon and slowly, dream physics took control agian) As soon as I lost enough "power" the dream deamon would whipe my memory, and change the dream to another dream. This happened for a lot of dreams, half of what I don't remember. Then he changed it do another dream. This one I was in a class of jedi like children, where we learned dream powers. One of the tasks we were asigned was to walk along the bottom of the pacific ocean to get to the other side of the world. It took me 7 years, and then I found a passage to hell under the water. When I entered i had visions of what happened here between deamon brothers trying to take over hell. Every artifact I noticed brought more visions of the past (hell had been abondoned, everyone deamon/monster dead, killed by each other) At which point I awoke. The scary part is, is that I feel like i spent 7 years in that dream. I feel 7 years older then I am. I've retained dream time in real time, and it scared me. I never wanted to feel that experience again, 7 years of gained life... how long could I live for? This scares the crap out of me. Then I found a post to this site on digg.com, so I think I'll try to get into it. Maybe as I become better at being lucid, I can control how long my dreams are percieved, and take as long as I want, instead of extremely long like above, or too short. I'm starting my dream journal again tonight. Wish me luck! Has anyone else had this kind of experience?

how much experience can you gain 7 years on the ocean's floor?

[lungdart]

None, thats why it was scary at the time. I was bored out of my skull for 7 years.

That was one crazy dream. I want to say cool because it was so interesting, but since it scared you, I won't....but wait, did I already? Anyway, that amazes me that you were cast into different dreams and still had the willpower to realize it was just another dream every time. Good job! Oh, and that idea about practicing in your dreams is a really good idea, too.

describe in more detail how the 7 years felt please. i find it hard to imagine what that would be like, but i do think anything including our perception of time could possibly be altered in a dream state.

7 years in a dream...... Have you gained anythng? Has this ,meintal, 7 years changed you at all ? How long was the auctual sleep peiroud? And finally, you menitioned something about some type of artifact what was it? Where was it? Sorry for so many questions but if we uncover some of this maby we all will learn the power of dream time controul.(Think if insted you spent the 7 years practiceing an instrument.)

[Universal Mind]

Make up for it by spending 7 years or longer in a great place of your choosing. Your body didn't age seven years, so nothing was lost except the hour or less of waking world time you spent there. Interesting stuff.

[voidofform]

do you feel you've lost some long term memory? like what you did the day/month before seems vague and a long time in the past?

[jay dawg]

maybe this guy fell in another 7 year long LD....WHERE ARE U!!!! ROFL

[Boof]

i remember i read about a guy who had experienced a 100-year long lucid dream. i think it was on this forum, cant find the post tho... how is it like to have a dream that lasts several years? do you really experiene each day or do u just "know" that the dream is seven years long?

He might be tryan to multuaple year lucid dream so he can fully answer our questions. ........Or he forgot where this topic is.

[dreamtamer007]

Don't mean to doubt anyone hmmmm

[Dagaz]

hey i got a question.. Supposing you had a 7 year long dream (witch i used to hear all the time from another user of DV's) how did it feel to wake up? i can imagine you've forgot alot of people, alot of things... i don't know i can't imagine doing that...

[Danski]

I don't think I'd like a dream like that. As someone has said, surely you have forgotten who some people are. It would be so odd going back to school after a dream like that. "Hi Dan!" "Errrrr, hi. Who are you again?" That would be so awkward and I'd feel extremely lonely.

[jay dawg]

this guy must have just made this thread up or something

[Boof]

hehe maybe he got stuck in a hundred year dream, and when he woke up he was senile and didnt remember this forum

[Matchbook]

Well maybe this guy made up the whole thing. But it's still an interesting concept. If you could have a 7 year dream where it REALLY feels like 7 years, would you? And would it depend on how much control you had or if you were lucid?

[I dream in pink]

Wow, thats really interesting, I think If a dream had lasted or appeared to last for so long, then I woke up to the next day of reality Id have issues mentally, I suppose I can only comprehend it or compare it to suddenly opening my eyes from now to realise this whole life Id lived wasnt real. haha, well I understand what I mean even if I confuse everyone else lol. Ive actually read on another website a while ago that someone had claimed to have spent 100 years in a lucid dream, which covered 2 waking hours of time.

The idea of practising a sport or a hobby to get more practise while your sleep is a really good idea...however i'm curious about if your mind will keep the information or not.. I wanted to practise martial arts in my sleep, and If I wanted to really practise, I would need my body to be the same as it is in real life. The gravity would have to be the same, my flexibility, my strenght , speed etc. So I am not sure if it would be possible for me to practise martial arts and really gain something from it in real life.

[Raihab]

Just so you know guys, the person who had that 100-year long dream was Gothlark. I find it pretty interesting, but if I had a 100-year long dream I'd probably kill myself as soon as I woke up... I can't stand living so long(I mean life is cool and everything, but seriously? 100 years? that's torture, immortality's torture... lol)

[skaterboyryan]

I was in a chat room with Gothlark he said that he had also had a 500 year one...sort of made me think should I practise this... he also said that his friend dared him to spend 1 year as a pregnant woman... he must be VERY good at LDing edit: i mean this chat room at the top...

[SantaDreamsToo]

you all bring up good points... if you were actually in an LD for 100 years theres no way you could even remember where you lived or who your parents were... 100 years is a long ass time, i think some users have been streching the ammounts of time, (how would you know it was 100 years?... is there a dream calender or a dream sunrise and sunset? and if so, how do you know that its actually correct.) my point is that theres absolutely no way that anyone stayed in a dream for even more than a year... they would forget everything, especially some forum on the computer.

[jay dawg]

yes, so it seems he has forgotten about this forum!

I imagine it would be like in the Star Trek: TNG the episode is called The Inner Light http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/libr...tail/68556.html He was very confused and he even learned how to play the flute.
