Has anyone ever altered time in their lucid dream?
I was listening to an Alan Watts talk last night and one of his famous most sayings is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56blGsmWd9k
& I was asking myself, did anyone ever alter the time in their lucid dream in a way, that it literally feels like you are dreaming several years or even an entire lifetime (80 years+) in just 8 hours of sleep? or anything close to an experience like this? Would that not be a wonderful way to escape reality?

I'm not sure if i got your question totally correct, but:
You can per se, alter time, if you skip a lot of the actual moments.
To answer your question: Yes. I think i have altered time, in a sense - i went from a very young boy, to a 30 year old man in what could have been a few minutes and after a few more minutes, i was ~80, and was kind of dying(in total 10 minutes, i woke up to my first alarm and fell asleep and alarm repeat was on 10 min).
So you can pass time, but not really alter it?
