Question

How Long Do Dreams/Nightmares Actually Last?

Answer 1

I have no Exact number

But for a full nights sleep, a whole night's worth of dreams

I believe you fall into REM in as little as an hour to 2 hours (The deepest stage of sleep) (u can google the definition)

and dreams can go from entrance into REM, until u just wake up.

Eight hours total- around 6 hrs or less of the dream phase, some pauses when u wake up to adjust when sleeping. The average person has about five or more dreams a night.

Answer 2

do they ever?....

Answer 3

the average dream usually doesnt last more than 10 minutes...weird huh? cuz sometimes I dream and it seems like it went on all nite...

Answer 4

dreams dont happen till the last hour and a half of your sleep

Answer 5

scientist say and studies show that almost every dream you have ranges from 3-15 minutes tops. it is very rare to have a dream lasting more that that. an average person has about 7 dreams minimum every night, but seldom remembers more than 2 or them. your mind is racing at night, so you are picturing this happening slowly, but you already know it because you are the one imagining it.

Answer 6

all night unless u wake up.... i dont have nightmares i can control my dreams

Answer 7

REM sleep periods, and therefore dreams, last typically in therange of 5 to 45 minutes (cf. section 6). Often, the subjective timespent in a dream is much longer. One possible explanation for thistime-stretch effect is that dreams are combined from pieces (seepreceding paragraph) that have their own different setting intime. You first dream of something that occurred a year ago, then -following - of something that occurred just recently, mix them up abit and are left with the remembrance of a dream that lasted a year.



But experiments suggest that dreamed actions run in "real time" - whatyou do in your dream takes exactly this time to dream. With externalinfluences like the radio running in the morning, you have both thereal time in which you hear something and - sometimes - the feelingthat it lasted considerably longer. Anyway, time is one of theperceptions that are heavily distorted in dreams.
