Would anybody be able to tell me how the idea of a Dream Clock works ?, like the one people use in their dreams to extend the length of their dreams. 
I don’t know but now I’m interested. 
What do you know already, if anything?
from what ive heard i thinks its a sort of way of programming your brain
i mean say you are LDing and you walk over to a computer (this computer is a way of telling your brain something) and you type in 5 HOURS REAL TIME = 35 HOURS DREAM TIME. Therefore you have converted your dream into a longer time, basicaly you could type anything in, kinda like a way to directly talk to your brain.

In my longest LD ever I used this…
In the dream I suddenly felt my cell phone vibrating in my pocket. I took it out and this window popped up on the screen: “Do you want to: EXIT - CONTINUE ?” I was confused at first but I choose “CONTINUE”. The window disappeared and I realised it was the dream asking me whether I wanted to stay or to wake up or so I believed at the moment and it worked. I got this “message” on the phone several times later in the dream.
I was in that dream for almost a day, lucid.
amazing experience
Also, if you just constantly steady yourself and stay busy. I did that once and I was in the LD for 2 days!
The dream clock is a tool of (to my knowledge) WritersCube’s invention, which he uses to keep track of how long he can remain in his LDs before waking up, as well as to control the lengths of his LDs. I haven’t read of anyone else using the clock like he does, so if you want to know more you should ask him–or read his DJ, since it’s interesting and plenty of people have already asked him about his dreams.
So, is it like every minute felt like it was just as long as a minute irl; and you spent 48 hours in your dream? 
Ya, WritersCube is probably the one who came up with the idea about the dream clock. I’ve only read about it in his DJ, and can’t find anything like it when googling it either.
Well, yeah, it was like living every second. Of course, you can’t actually know how long time is because you can’t look at a clock or anything, but you just have to base it on how long it seemed; and it SEEMED that I was there for about 36ish hours (not 2 full days) and lived every second (second of dream time that is)!
The experience must be wonderful!
But doesn’t it get tiring to keep staying aware all the time? Is it like when you read many guides, that you constantly must keep reminding yourself that your dreaming, don’t stop and look at things for too long and stuff like that?
On continuing dreams, for a long while I’d be able to choose to continue a dream when I had woken up just slightly - I’d be just barely asleep, the image would be gone, but I’d choose to continue the dream, and on it went. The option didn’t work after so long, though - the time that I was alotted in the dream started getting shorter and shorter.
For that matter, I didn’t become lucid in any of the dreams I did that in. Go figure!
I created the idea of making and using my Dream Clock out of mainly from the challenge of wanting to do great things over the course of a single night’s LD rather than having to make multiple revisits to that same dreamscape. Of course this was before I came to realize how I start to miss things when I’m gone for too long, which is why I only now use my Dream Clock when I really feel like taking a dream vacation 
As for how it works, it works by keeping track of two different sets of time. How much real time I wish to spend dreaming, and how much dream time I wish to spend within that frame of real time.
For example–I wish to spend a week in a dreamscape, say the dreamscape of Tech, to jam to music for seven days straight. I’m going to go to bed and I wish to sleep for just a normal seven hours.
I key into my DreamClock:
[168 Hours Dream Time]
[7 Hours Real Time]
Upon doing that, I then press the simple green Start Button and off I go. Of course, this doesn’t necessarily have to be done on some dream object–my Dream Clock can be used through the simple use of a Heads-Up Display.
Heck you can even put the Dream Clock on a singing fish, and it’ll work all the same.
No but seriously, that’s brilliant… that must be a LDing masterpiece and a copy should be stalled in a dreammuseum 
That gave me an idea… anyone ever tried to go to the museum in a LD? See what you’d find there?
Has anyone had any luck with this technique? I plan to try it, but I’ve got to work on getting more LD’s first .
i just started listening to bin. beats and it does help me become lucid in dreams but only for about 10 to 30 seconds im unable to make it stable. i think this dream clock may help me im going to try it thanks all.
Hmmmm… i think it’s a brilliant idea, still, i can’t stop wondering what would happen if you would set “sleep in real life 1 year” . What would happen ?
I don’t think very much would happen. My guess would be it would give you an error message or similar, you wouldn’t really sleep a year. I’m not an expert on this, however, so someone with more experience would probably give better information.
moved into existing topic
So I recently heard about this dream clock idea and how it’s supposed to work but what I read about it was quite vague. If anyone could clear this up for me and if it actually works that’d be fantastic! Thank you!
Do you mean something like the dream clock that WritersCube uses? That link will take you to his own explanation on the subject.
I though about something similare with that ! Like a watch that you have on your hand with no numbers and no time… Just a black screen and when the dream will almost end ! The watch start biping and being red or whatever ! Something that tells you that the dream is almost over ! And grab something in the dream to make it longer ! Or if the sound doesnt stop, then enjoy your last moments in the dream, like saying good bye to one of your DCs that you spent almost the half of the time in the dream etc… I though it was an intresting thing that i will experience
