The ability to pause time has appeared in many books, TV series and films.
eg
The Magic Boomerang - Australian series 1965-1966 “The ancient legend of the Dreamtime People tells of a magic boomerang. When this famed boomerang flies in the sky, all time will stand still. Whoever has this boomerang has a great power.”
Twilight Zone - A Kind of Pocket Watch
SPOILER - Click to view
" The watch. It breaks, leaving time permanently frozen. With no way to repair it, McNulty runs around in a panic, begging the frozen people to talk or move."
Click - 2006 film “A universal remote control manipulates time.”

New member and enjoy the idea of a quest! Gave it a shot and here is what happened:
Standing in front of a large cave/tunnel and become and large boulders that look like asteroids are coming at me one after the other. I become lucid and remember the quest. The only problem is I’m being belted by boulders. I start to knock them out of the way and they move easily. Then, I say, “stop time” and nothing happens. I say it again with a little more conviction, but nothing changes. So, I decide to change tactics and begin looking for a ‘device’ that will do it for me. On the ground I find two pieces of broken metal. I pick them up and put them together. They snap in place, but I realize I’m still missing another component. So, I look around some more and find this circuit board of sorts. I put it together and the whole device kind of molds together perfectly into a laser gun. I start laughing and point it back towards the boulders that are flying at me. I ‘shoot it’ but no laser or anything comes out, but everything becomes perfectly still. I look around and realize it worked! I ‘stopped time’ in my dream. I then decide to explore the cave since I’m not being attacked now. I walk for a little bit and see an opening to my right. I look over and Chewbacca is on a payphone. He is clearly not stopped in time. He looks at me funny and I shoot him with my time stopper. It makes a burning mark on his fur. He looks at me angry and confused and then I wake up.
So, I made time stop (at least fora a little bit) and Chewbacca was not happy that I shot him with my time stopper gun.
Thanks! I’m new here, but really enjoy the different topics and thought this was a fun quest. Not sure how the stars work, but I guess I will work on that next! Thanks again!
ha! Thanks! I agree - that Wookie was not happy when I zapped him! I thought it was going to turn ugly. But, this is exactly why I love dreaming - there is always something to surprise you.
An interesting attempt… Funnily enough, I had to “unfreeze” time before being able to try and freeze it. Only to find out that setting time free it’s much easier than stopping it!
I managed this quest last night- It was only a brief LD (My 3rd since joining the forum!) So far I have only managed to attain Lucidity in short bursts but in this dream I was sat on the end of a bed with my mother and sister either side of me. We were talking about haircuts when for whatever reason it clicked that I was dreaming. Funnily enough the first thing that sprang to mind was to try the quest. I stood up, throw my hands out to either side and say “Stop.” firmly. The air ripples and my mother and sister freeze mid conversation.
I walk around the room briefly entertaining what I should do next, when I notice my sister starts to move very slowly, and I know the time freeze is wearing off. I repeat the same action and she freezes once again. I wake up before I can manage to think of what to do next, but I’m happy none the less, another LD to add to the collection!
we have featured Wing Quests to enable members to explore LD’s in a fun way. If the lucid dreamer is successful, LD4all wings can be earned.
