 Alright, you saw the title, Lucid Dreaming for Weeks. Assuming you know how to lucid dream, you know what it is, and you've maybe had a bit of success with it, how can you have a lucid dream that lasts for not just hours, but actually weeks and maybe even months? This is a bit of a controversial topic, but I'm going to explain, and if you watch this whole video, you'll probably agree with me because it's a very rational approach I'm taking to this. I'm not going to be hyping it up, and I'm just going to tell you how it is. Before you start in a new tab, click the link in the description, or go to howtolucid.com forward slash gift, and then you can get like a free video training, there's a PDF guide, all kinds of like free stuff I've put together for you. Yeah, I think you're going to love it, so it's free, you can't really go wrong. So how can you lucid dream for several weeks? I've heard it said in comments sections in other videos that it's possible to lucid dream for more than just a few minutes, and actually to lucid dream for a few weeks. There's even one post I think I saw on Reddit where this guy claimed he was able to lucid dream for a year and have a year's worth of experiences in the dream. So is it possible? Well, it's one of those things with time dilation, your experience of time passing is absolutely different to somebody else's experience of time passing. One person might feel, let's say if you take two people and they both experience an hour of time, according to a clock, right? One person might that might feel like a few minutes, and another person that might feel like a whole day. It really depends on your perception of time passing known as time dilation. And this is controllable. This is something we can actually change. It's not like we all have to experience an hour of time as exactly an hour of time. There are different things, especially in lucid dreams, different things you can do to make it feel like a shorter time or a longer time, depending on what you do. So look, there's not really any way of making a lucid dreaming REM period last for several years, months, weeks. However, this raises an interesting debate because although it won't be technically lasting for weeks, in the sense that like if somebody else was to record you sleeping and to track your REM periods, it wouldn't be several weeks long. Of course, it would be usually a few minutes long, right? But this raises an interesting point and that is time perception, like I said, is unique to each person. So if you experience a dream that feels like three weeks, who's to say that it's not three weeks for you? Because although, you know, only a few minutes of REM sleep have passed, for the person dreaming it feels like more. So who's to say that that's not a real experience? Although according to other people, you've only been dreaming for a few minutes, if it feels like a few weeks for you, the dreamer, who's to say that's not real for you? Because it is. It's an interesting debate. Another example is this, right? Let's say if you feel, you personally feel happy. Does that make you happy? I would argue yes, because you will, if you internally feel happy, what is happiness? It's a feeling or an emotion within you, you know, individually. One person can be happy, another can be unhappy. That doesn't mean that either one of them is wrong. Just like one person can feel like they've lucid dreamed for several weeks, while another might feel like they've only had a few minutes of dreaming. And while a third person might track their REM sleep and say, well, no, both of you were dreaming for eight to 10 minutes, but none of them are really wrong. Another example is, let's say if you feel confident, that in my opinion, that makes you confident, because confidence is essentially a feeling that comes from within, and then you have the confidence to project that outwards. So with the time dilation, if you feel like your dreams lasted several weeks, that's as good as actually lasting for several weeks. Just like if you feel happy, that is the experience. If you're having the experience, then you are that experience, you are happy. So it's an interesting take. I hope it makes sense. Leave a comment letting me know what you think. But now we're going to get on to actually how to make it feel like a few weeks long. And it really comes down to, like I said, time dilation, time perception, and cramming activities into a short space of time. They have to be activities you like, exciting things. And the more things you do in the lucid dream, the longer it will feel. If you have a lucid dream where you're just sitting on a chair, that's going to be over pretty quickly, it's going to be boring, you might not even remember it. But if you have a lucid dream where you're one second you're on this planet, next second you teleport to another planet, and now you're interacting with a different race of beings, and you know, that dream is going to feel like a lot longer than the boring dream. So that's the key really, have an exciting dream, do more things, cram more things into the dream, and then increase your memory of it as well. Now there's one critical thing you need to bear in mind. And again, this is just based on my opinion, my experience. It might be different for you. Let me know, you know, I'd love to hear what you think. And that is to maintain, so like I said, cram exciting activities into the dream. Don't waste any second of the dream. And the whole, you know, the whole way through the dream, maintain your focus so that you are aware of each second of passing. You can do this by counting, out louder in your head, as you're lucid dreaming, you can do this by sheer intention, just believing and trying to do it, kind of thing. But be aware of every second that passes by. Try and practice this in the waking life as well, in the daytime. It's an aspect of all-day awareness or the ADA technique. It's really powerful, you know, by being aware and more conscious than present in every moment. It feels like longer time is passing, or to put it another way, it feels like time is passing more slowly, or you're living more intensely in the moment. Anyway, leave a comment letting me know what you think. And yeah, check out this free PDF and video training I put together. The link's in the description.
