Buddhist Dictionary

by late Ven. Nyanalokita Thera:

cittakkhaṇa: 'consciousness-moment', is the time occupied by one single stage in the perceptual process or cognitive series (cittavīthi; see viññāṇa-kicca). This moment again is subdivided into the genetic (uppāda), static (ṭhiti) and dissolving (bhaṅga) moment. One such moment is said in the commentaries to be of inconceivably short duration and to last not longer than the billionth part of the time occupied by a flash of lightning.

However that may be, we ourselves know from experience that it is possible within one single second to dream of innumerable things and events. In AN 1.10 it is said:

“Nothing, o monks, do I know that changes so rapidly as consciousness. Scarcely anything may be found that could be compared with this so rapidly changing consciousness.” see khaṇa
