Dreaming is one general and distinctive characteristics of sleep and it is visual and auditory perception and emotions .
Psychologists have not been able to reach a common answer about the duration of dreams . It may take a few seconds but some don ’ t agrre ; they think dreams could last for hours . Some psychologists like , an American psychologist , claim that this as true . Dr . B . Klein began intensive research on this subject with his assistants . He hypnotized some sleeping volunteers . After a while , he woke up the volunteers and listened to their dreams .
They obtained this data as a consequence of this research ; a dream is too short to exceed 20 seconds . Nonetheless , the volunteers expressed their dreams for hours , which actually lasted 3-5 seconds . The conclusion is that the longest dream cannot exceed 90 seconds .
Dreams develop incredibly quickly . This is why the sense of time does not occur in a dream . Strange , surprising and very difficult events that are thought to last too long follow each other even during a few minutes of a dream . But it ’ s just a collection of moments that , after awakening , we determine the sense of time in accordance with the brain ’ s teachings and habits .
