QUESTION: When does Consciousness begin?

[dreamintheshell]

One thing that I think is that consciousness begin with time or than today’s time model follows consciousness because when I am conscious I am aware of time moving forward in and the less I become conscious the less I am aware of time moving forward.

I have notice something than the more lucid I am in a dream the more easy it is to follow time (amount of sleep) has anyone else has experience this?

I do not get lucid very often in dreams so I am very curious about people that does it often…like if that what a dream is to them …and it fascinate me the amount of different level of lucidity than people can experience in lucid dreams.

I totaly agree with your perception.
I can often produce a dream being an equivalent of the time passing while I sleep.
Simply imagine yourself sleeping for 6hours and dreaming of sitting on a chair for 6hours. The time passing has exactly same value for the perception.
The time while I become less lucid I still see the jumps between the scenes of your dream projection giving an illusion of time slowing down.
You don't need to practise lucidity, in my life it just happens.
How many people can wake up before the alarm clock for the exact time you want to wake up - everyone did it at least once.

Does conciousness evolve with experiences? I rather think so.
Children or animals are very basic, highly concious people loose the gift while being ill and it is only fully revesable if the body is fully fit again.
