are dream addresses frozen in time?

Does anyone know if dream addresses are set in the time we make them in, or if time changes while the visitor is in it? I don't think I've been in a dream long enough (or dreamed of a lot of towns in general for that matter) to confirm this. For example, if I make my dream address at 5:50am, will the visitor be in "5:50am" forever, or if they stay for a few minutes longer will it change to "the next day"? I thought it would be cool to set the dream address later in the hour so visitors can experience change in the sky/weather etc. Anyone have any experience in this?

I know the time definitely changes because the bell rings and the music changes, but I haven't been to any towns set to a time near 6:00 A.M. so I don't know what happens in that case.

Oh that actually answers a lot! I know in our games Isabelle announces for the visitors to wake up and it's a new day at 6am. I was wondering if dream visitors can visibly see the change of seasons too... like the start of summer into fall?? ahah I'm not sure if you can even see that in regular game play actually.

In your own town, you're forced to save at 6:00 A.M. and then all the changes happen, so it's not like it suddenly changes in the blink of an eye. I don't know how it works with DAs. My guess is that the day never changes, just the hours, so it will loop around over and over again on the same day (like the movie Groundhog Day). I kind of want to test it, but I don't want to leave my 3DS on for 24+ hours just to see what will happen.

But you could set your DA to something like 5:55 A.M. and I could visit and see what happens.

I don't know about know, but before the update the time did change. Once I went to Aika village (and we all know it's always 4am in that Dream Town) and I fell asleep (in real life) while I was visiting and I forgot to turn off my 3DS, so when I woke it was around 11am in the dream town.

Edit: I think I read it wrong, I'm not sure if it goes to the next day or if it's stays on the same day but it's just at a different time. I didn't check.

Thanks! haha, I'm sure Aika village had a whole different vibe at 11am.

Ah yeah, it would be cool if it did change but same, I'm kinda lazy to test it. I might make my DA closer 6am and maybe someone can see if it loops?
