I liked what we call as Limbo in Inception. Limbo was the state of lock up and something in which ages would have passed.

The stuff about patterns is something i can recognize very well. the last week ive been watching a serie nonstop, like 20 eps a day, and atm there is a 100% chance i will dream of that, cause its really all i did that day. but sometimes it can be very annoying. i remember when i was 14 playing diablo 2 day in and day out, sometimes when i would dream i would be stuck with this thought of d2, even as i was lying in bed awake, i would have to get up and turn the lights on and do something else before there was anyway of making my mind let go, now thats annoying, cause dreams about games are usually just the same thing over and over and over

I saw the data at a presentation given by Matt Wilson and one thing I found interesting is that the playback of place cell activity during sleep happens at an accelerated rate. I forget by how much, 10x speedup rings a bell. This might show why time seems to dilate during dreaming. When I dream during a short nap, the dream seems much longer than the time actually elapsed…maybe my perception of time is accelerated due to a similar speedup of neuron firing.
