The plots themselves can either be entirely new experiences that are unlike anything experienced within the real world, old experiences, such as [[memory replays]], or a combination of the two. It is possible in some cases for the plot of the dream to be changed by the thoughts of the dreamer, for example the dreamer could think of a person and the person appear around the corner. However this is anecdotal and not common.{{citation needed}} | ||
The perception of time in hallucinatory dream scenarios typically feel as if they are being experienced in real-time, which means that if 20 seconds are perceived to have passed within the dream the same amount of time will have elapsed in the real world. However, it is also possible for [[time distortion|time distortions]] to occur, resulting in scenarios and plots that can feel as if they last days, weeks, or even an infinite amount of time. | The perception of time in hallucinatory dream scenarios typically feel as if they are being experienced in real-time, which means that if 20 seconds are perceived to have passed within the dream the same amount of time will have elapsed in the real world.
