Prolonged Motor Actions in Lucid Dreams
“Time for Actions in Lucid Dreams: Effects of Task Modality, Length, and Complexity”
“The relationship between time in dreams and real time has intrigued scientists for centuries.”
“In summary, the present study confirms the findings of Erlacher and Schredl (2004) that motor actions lead to prolonged durations in lucid dreams. The findings for the durations of cognitive actions (without motor activity) are as yet inconclusive…Prolonged durations might be related to the lack of muscular feedback or slower neural processing during REM sleep. .” – By Daniel Erlacher, Melanie Schädlich, Tadas Stumbrys and Michael Schredl journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fpsyg.2013.01013/full
