I actually think it happens.
I mean, the time goes so quick till the minute we wake up. Time flies when we sleep.
Aren't we actually traveling through time?

That's a pretty deep question. I'd like to see some sort of documentary or something on it.
I really don't have an opinion either way, but you make a valid point, and it'd be neat to hear some professionals theorize explanations and stuff. You're definately right - how come it seems like only seconds, when in actuality it takes hours? ... if they would approach this with an open-mind, and maybe try to reason why this happens, applications to this could be very interesting... especially if/maybe for long-distance space-travel to different planets for example... who knows.
Good question.

That's one way to glamorize your unconsciousness. Time travels on with or without you, awake or asleep. Sleep is a totally personal thing, not affecting outside environs. You can't escape traveling thru time (remember Rip Van Winkle) as it is inexorable. There's actually no such thing as science-fiction thrusting forward in time, nor is there any such thing as going back. Another way to look at it is, ever since the massive outthrust of all the galaxies, Big Bang, incl'g our own, we're all traveling through space at perhaps a speed approaching light speed. Does this mean we would age faster if we were stationary in the universe? Who knows?
As far as space travel, the only thing likely to stop us is a collision with a maverick body or some kind of those dreaded gamma rays, which will wipe us out, but time won't care. It's like Ol' Man River. Another answer to your question is oblivion ... if you have an operation and have an anesthetic, you'll go to sleep and wake up an instant later, dreamless, unconsciousness - a foretaste of oblivion...lost time. that's as close to traveling thru time at the ?speed of light? as we can achieve....................P.S. I'm anti calling our fellow respondents idiots. It makes you sound like an idiot, IDIOT.

well the dude above me is an idiot. time is not a human invention, its been proven that under certain circumstances it can be manipulated by gravity or light, not us.
maybe time goes by faster for you in your own mind because your brain is less functional then normal and it has no perception (kinda, but not really any) of the outside world. so you can sense time if you dont sense it.
think about it, if you were traveling through time then there would be all kinda of weird side effects. anyone observing your body would see some weird things. brain activity would increase because for you its all going on in a shorter time, so to them it would see to increase. as would your heartbeat and breathing. you dont time travel when you sleep.

My opinion or my thought is we do travel through time only when we are sleeping.
Yes when we sleep time goes fast .
If we don't travel through time then we 'll probably will wake up in 1 or 2 hours because you could feel it and you will get bored so you will just wake up

As the above poster said, we are always traveling through time. If you can figure out a way to go faster or slower let me know. Otherwise you're stuck moving at the same speed the rest of us are, even if you're in a less conscious state at times than others.

when we sleep, our soul goes far and far away that you can't imagine it... but it still connected to our bodies so we can be still alive.... at this far distance sometimes we can dream things that they will hap pend and they do exactly the same way we saw them in our dream. why/ because coming up events are kindda there at that far away places.....and to prove what I'm saying... well, we all know that 1 hour in a dream time is a only a minute or less in the real time ( earth time speed) so it is because when we dream... we reach some spaces with our soul where the time is so slow according to our solar system.... and all that was proven by einstein in the relativity...........

Asleep or Awake, we are always traveling forward in time. The reason it seems to happen quicker when we sleep, is because while sleeping, we are not concius of times progression.
However, I'm pretty sure that we cross alternate dimensions during the sleep cycles. I met myself in one of those and man was I disappointed.
Cheers.

time is not a human invention, it is however a human concept
in response to your question...suppose you sleep and ask someone to stay beside you and stay awake
the time he spent awake until you wake up is the same time you spent while sleeping, therefore you cannot travel faster in time while sleeping
i dunno how you got the idea

I believe we do.
.
Time is an invention of the human mind and exists only in the human mind.
.
When you sleep your mind suspends time measurement.
.
When you sleep in a moving plane or automobile you are traveling through space and time.

We are actually always traveling through time, asleep and awake. Have you ever tried to get time to stop? I've never been able to achieve that. Or even make it go in the opposite direction.
