LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Shareholder:

We  are  pleased  to present this annual report for Dreyfus LifeTime Portfolios,
Inc.,  covering  the  12-month period from October 1, 1999 through September 30,
2000.  Inside,  you'll find valuable information about how the fund was managed
during  the  reporting  period, including a discussion with the fund's portfolio
manager, Steven A. Falci.

In  the  past  12  months, the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite Stock Price Index
("S&P  500  Index") rose more than 13% while the Lehman Brothers Intermediate
Government/Credit Bond Index provided a more modest return of slightly under 7%.
Most  stock  market  gains  were realized during the fourth quarter of 1999 when
investors  were  enthusiastic  about technology stocks. Conversely, in the first
nine  months  of  2000  the  investment environment was marked by dramatic price
fluctuations. In the bond market, rising interest rates have taken their toll on
most sectors, with the exception of long-term U.S. Treasury bonds. Additionally,
the  moderating effects of the Federal Reserve Board's (the "Fed") interest-rate
hikes  during  the  first  half  of  2000  helped the Fed to achieve its goal of
slowing  the U.S. economy. Other factors such as higher energy prices and a weak
euro also served to slow economic growth.

Since  stocks  provided  returns well above their historical averages during the
second  half  of  the  1990s,  some  investors  may  have  developed unrealistic
expectations.  Recent  volatility  has  reminded  investors of both the risks of
investing and the importance of fundamental research and investment selection.

For  more  information about the economy and financial markets, we encourage you
to visit the Market Commentary section of our website at www.dreyfus.com. Or, to
speak with a Dreyfus customer service representative, call us at 1-800-782-6620.

Thank you for investing in Dreyfus LifeTime Portfolios, Inc.

Sincerely,

DISCUSSION OF PERFORMANCE

Steven A. Falci, Portfolio Manager

How did Dreyfus LifeTime Portfolios, Inc. perform relative to its benchmarks?

For  the  12-month period ended September 30, 2000, Dreyfus LifeTime Portfolios,
Inc. produced the following total returns:(1)

GROWTH PORTFOLIO                                   CUSTOMIZED BLENDED INDEX(2,3)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Investor Shares                         8.85%                13.82%

Restricted Shares                       9.13%

GROWTH AND INCOME PORTFOLIO
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Investor Shares                         7.16%                10.94%

Restricted Shares                       7.39%

INCOME PORTFOLIO
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Investor Shares                         6.35%                 7.78%

Restricted Shares                       6.74%

In  addition,  the  total  returns  for  the Growth Portfolio and the Growth and
Income  Portfolio  compare  with a 13.27% total return for the Standard & Poor's
500  Composite  Stock  Price  Index  ("S&P 500 Index"). The total return for the
Income  Portfolio  compares  with  a  6.25% total return for the Lehman Brothers
Intermediate Government/Credit Bond Index.(3)

We  attribute  the  underperformance  of the Growth Portfolio and the Growth and
Income  Portfolio to our relatively light allocation to stocks during the period
and  the  underperformance  of  individual  stock selection. While this strategy
helped  manage risk, it constrained our performance, especially during the first
six  months  of  the  reporting  period.  The  Income  Portfolio's returns also
reflected our attempts to manage volatility through diversification.

What are the portfolios' investment approaches?

Dreyfus LifeTime Portfolios, Inc. consists of three separate portfolios offering
a  range  of  investment  approaches: Income Portfolio, the most
                                                                   The Portfolio


DISCUSSION OF PERFORMANCE (CONTINUED)

conservative  of  the  three; Growth and Income Portfolio, a more moderate fund;
and Growth Portfolio, the most aggressive of the three. While the portfolios are
managed using the same basic investment philosophy, each varies according to its
own    investment    goals    and    risk    tolerance    levels.

All  three  portfolios  typically  invest  in  stocks  and  bonds. However, each
allocates  its  assets  between those two investment classes in a different way.
While  the  actual  makeup  of  the  Growth  Portfolio and the Growth and Income
Portfolio  will  vary  over  time  according  to  our  view of prevailing market
conditions,  typical  portfolio  allocations are as follows: Income Portfolio --
67.5% bonds, 22.5% stocks and 10% cash; Growth and Income Portfolio -- 50% bonds
and  50%  stocks;  Growth  Portfolio  -- 20% bonds and 80% stocks. The allowable
minimum  equity  positions  for  the  Growth  Portfolio  and  Growth  and Income
Portfolio    are    65%    and    35%, respectively.

The  allowable  maximum equity positions for the Growth Portfolio and the Growth
and  Income  Portfolio  are  100%  and  65%, respectively.  In addition, we use
proprietary  computer  models  that assess the relative values of stock and bond
prices  across  different  markets  using  variables  such  as price-to-earnings
ratios,   interest-rate   levels   and   the   shape   of   the   yield  curve.

What other factors influenced the performance of the portfolios?

Our  underweighted  equity  position  had the greatest impact on the portfolios'
performance.  During  the  first  half  of the reporting period, the portfolios'
underweighted  equity  position  detracted  from  the  overall  performance,  as
equities  rallied  in  relation to bonds. However, the overvaluation of equities
has since been borne out, as stocks generally underperformed bonds in the second
half of the reporting period.

During the first half of the reporting period, the technology sector captured
the lion's share of the stock market's gains and stock returns were narrowly
driven. Stock selection detracted from performance from November 1999 through
May 2000, but recovered modestly from June through the end of the reporting
period. While we main-

tained sector weightings that are similar to those of the S&P 500 Index, we
sought to own better stocks than the Index within those sectors.  However,  many
technology   companies  failed  to  meet  our  broad-based   criteria  of  being
attractively priced relative to their earnings growth prospects. As a result, we
were  unable to hold many of the  highly  valued  stocks  that drove the S&P 500
Index's returns, and our relative performance suffered.

Within  the  fixed-income  component, the portfolios are managed in a structured
manner and closely emulate the characteristics of the benchmark. To achieve this
goal,  we  maintained  neutral  characteristics  to  the  benchmark  in terms of
interest-rate  sensitivity,  sector  allocation  and  bond quality distributions
during the period.

What is the current strategy for the portfolios?

For  the  Income  Portfolio,  our  asset mix is approximately 67.5% bonds, 22.5%
stocks    and    10%    cash    as    of    September    30,    2000.

Our strategy for the Growth Portfolio and the Growth and Income Portfolio can be
divided  into  two  components: asset allocation and stock selection. As for our
current  asset  allocation  strategy, we have maintained limited exposure to the
stock market because we believe that stocks remain overvalued relative to bonds,
albeit  to  a lesser degree than they were at the start of the reporting period.

With  regard  to  our  stock  selection  strategy, we believe that our long-term
success  depends  on  our  ability  to  view  many different influences on stock
valuations and earnings growth. Through this broad-based approach, we believe we
can    uncover    stocks    that   have   solid   potential   going   forward.

PAST PERFORMANCE IS NOT PREDICTIVE OF FUTURE PERFORMANCE.

THE ABOVE GRAPH COMPARES A $10,000 INVESTMENT MADE IN EACH OF THE INVESTOR
SHARES AND RESTRICTED SHARES OF THE INCOME PORTFOLIO ON 3/31/95 (INCEPTION DATE)
TO A $10,000 INVESTMENT MADE ON THAT DATE IN THE LEHMAN BROTHERS INTERMEDIATE
GOVERNMENT/CREDIT BOND INDEX ("LEHMAN INDEX") AS WELL AS TO A CUSTOMIZED BLENDED
INDEX REFLECTING THE PORTFOLIO'S ASSET ALLOCATION BASELINE PERCENTAGES
("BASELINE") WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW AND IN THE FUND'S PROSPECTUS. THE
CUSTOMIZED BLENDED INDEX IS CALCULATED ON A YEAR-TO-YEAR BASIS. ALL DIVIDENDS
AND CAPITAL GAIN DISTRIBUTIONS ARE REINVESTED.

EFFECTIVE AS OF JULY 1, 2000, THE LEHMAN BROTHERS INTERMEDIATE
GOVERNMENT/CORPORATE BOND INDEX REVISED ITS NAME TO LEHMAN BROTHERS INTERMEDIATE
GOVERNMENT/CREDIT BOND INDEX.

THE INCOME PORTFOLIO ALLOCATES YOUR MONEY AMONG DOMESTIC BONDS AND STOCKS AND
MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS. THE PORTFOLIO'S PERFORMANCE SHOWN IN THE LINE GRAPH
TAKES INTO ACCOUNT ALL APPLICABLE FEES AND EXPENSES. THE LEHMAN INDEX DOES NOT
TAKE INTO ACCOUNT CHARGES, FEES AND OTHER EXPENSES. THE LEHMAN INDEX WAS
SELECTED BECAUSE (1) GOVERNMENT AND CORPORATE BONDS REPRESENT THE HIGHEST
BASELINE PERCENTAGE OF THE PORTFOLIO AND (2) THE FIXED-INCOME PORTION OF THE
PORTFOLIO IS INVESTED TO REPRESENT THE LEHMAN INDEX. THE CUSTOMIZED BLENDED
INDEX HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE PORTFOLIO FOR PURPOSES OF MORE ACCURATE
COMPARISON TO THE PORTFOLIO'S OVERALL PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION. WE HAVE COMBINED
THE PERFORMANCE OF UNMANAGED INDICES REFLECTING THE BASELINE PERCENTAGES SET
FORTH IN THE PROSPECTUS, BUT IN GREATER DETAIL THAN THE BROADER PROSPECTUS
BASELINE PERCENTAGES: BONDS - 67.5%; STOCKS - 22.5%; AND TREASURY BILLS - 10%.
THE CUSTOMIZED BLENDED INDEX COMBINES RETURNS FROM THE LEHMAN INDEX, THE
STANDARD & POOR'S 500 COMPOSITE STOCK PRICE INDEX ("S&P 500 INDEX") AND THE
90-DAY TREASURY BILL RATE, AS IT CHANGES FROM TIME TO TIME, AND IS WEIGHTED TO
THE AFOREMENTIONED BASELINE PERCENTAGES. THE LEHMAN INDEX IS A WIDELY ACCEPTED,
UNMANAGED INDEX OF GOVERNMENT AND CREDIT BOND MARKET PERFORMANCE COMPOSED OF
U.S. GOVERNMENT, TREASURY AND AGENCY SECURITIES, FIXED-INCOME SECURITIES AND
NONCONVERTIBLE INVESTMENT-GRADE CREDIT DEBT, WITH AN AVERAGE MATURITY OF 1-10
YEARS. THE S&P 500 INDEX IS A WIDELY ACCEPTED, UNMANAGED INDEX OF U.S. STOCK
MARKET PERFORMANCE. NONE OF THE FOREGOING INDICES TAKE INTO ACCOUNT CHARGES,
FEES OR OTHER EXPENSES. FURTHER INFORMATION RELATING TO THE PORTFOLIO'S
PERFORMANCE, INCLUDING EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENTS, IF APPLICABLE, IS CONTAINED IN
THE FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS SECTION OF THE PROSPECTUS AND ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT

ALL APPLICABLE FEES AND EXPENSES. THE S&P 500 INDEX IS A WIDELY ACCEPTED,
UNMANAGED INDEX OF U.S. STOCK MARKET PERFORMANCE. THE S&P 500 INDEX WAS SELECTED
BECAUSE (1) DOMESTIC COMMON STOCKS REPRESENT THE HIGHEST BASELINE PERCENTAGE OF
THE PORTFOLIO'S ASSETS AND (2) THE MAJORITY OF THE STOCK PORTION OF THE
PORTFOLIO IS INVESTED IN STOCKS INCLUDED IN THE S&P 500 INDEX. THE CUSTOMIZED

U.S. COMPANIES BY MARKET CAPITALIZATION. THE EAFE INDEX, WHICH IS THE PROPERTY
OF MORGAN STANLEY & CO. INCORPORATED, IS AN UNMANAGED INDEX COMPOSED OF A SAMPLE
OF COMPANIES REPRESENTATIVE OF THE MARKET STRUCTURE OF EUROPEAN AND PACIFIC
BASIN COUNTRIES AND INCLUDES NET DIVIDENDS REINVESTED. EFFECTIVE AS OF JULY 1,
2000, THE LEHMAN BROTHERS INTERMEDIATE GOVERNMENT/CORPORATE BOND INDEX REVISED
ITS NAME TO LEHMAN BROTHERS INTERMEDIATE GOVERNMENT/CREDIT BOND INDEX. THE
LEHMAN INDEX IS A WIDELY ACCEPTED, UNMANAGED INDEX OF GOVERNMENT AND CREDIT BOND
MARKET PERFORMANCE COMPOSED OF U.S. GOVERNMENT, TREASURY AND AGENCY SECURITIES,
FIXED-INCOME SECURITIES AND NONCONVERTIBLE INVESTMENT-GRADE CREDIT DEBT, WITH AN

The  following  tables  describe  the  performance  for each share class for the
fiscal  periods  indicated.  All  information  (except  portfolio turnover rate)
reflects  financial results for a single portfolio share. Total return shows how
much  your  investment  in  each  portfolio  would have increased (or decreased)
during each period, assuming you had reinvested all dividends and distributions.
These figures have been derived from the portfolios' financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1--General:

Dreyfus   LifeTime  Portfolios,  Inc.  (the "fund") is  registered  under  the
Investment  Company  Act  of  1940,  as  amended  (the  "Act"), as  an open-end
management  investment  company  and  operates  as  a  series  company currently
offering  three  diversified  Portfolios:  the  Income  Portfolio,  the  primary
investment  objective  of  which is to maximize current income and the secondary
investment  objective  of  which  is capital appreciation, the Growth and Income
Portfolio,  the  investment  objective  of  which  is  to maximize total return,
consisting  of capital appreciation and current income and the Growth Portfolio,
the  investment  objective  of  which is capital appreciation. The fund accounts
separately  for  the  assets,  liabilities and operations of each portfolio. The
Dreyfus  Corporation  ("Dreyfus") serves as each Portfolio's investment adviser.
Dreyfus  is  a  direct  subsidiary  of  Mellon Bank, N.A. ("Mellon"), which is a
wholly-owned   subsidiary   of   Mellon  Financial  Corporation.  Mellon  Equity
Associates  ("Mellon  Equity"), an  indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Mellon
Financial Corporation, serves as each Portfolio's sub-investment adviser.

On  September  23,  1999,  pursuant  to  an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization
previously  approved  by the fund's Board of Directors, Dreyfus Asset Allocation
Fund' s  assets  and  liabilities  were  transferred  to  the  Growth and Income
Portfolio  in  a  tax  free exchange for Investor Class shares of the Growth and
Income  Portfolio  at  net  asset  value.  4,291,269 shares valued at $12.71 per
share, representing net assets of $54,557,437 (including $147,484 net unrealized
appreciation on investments) were exchanged by Dreyfus Asset Allocation Fund for
2,970,357 Investor Class shares of the Growth and Income Portfolio.

Effective  March  22,  2000, Dreyfus Service Corporation ("DSC"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary  of  Dreyfus,  became the distributor of the fund's shares, which are
sold  to  the  public  without  a sales charge. Prior to March 22, 2000, Premier
Mutual  Fund Services, Inc. was the distributor. The fund is authorized to issue
50  million  shares  of  $.001  par  value Common Stock in each of the following
classes of shares: Restricted and Investor. Investor Class shares are offered to
any
                                                                  The Portfolios

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

investor  and  Restricted  Class  shares  are offered only to clients of certain
banks,   securities   brokers   or  dealers  and  other  financial  institutions
(collectively,  Service  Agents)  that have entered into selling agreements with
the  distributor.  Other  differences  between  the classes include the services
offered to and the expenses borne by each class.

The  fund's  financial  statements  are  prepared  in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles which may require the use of management estimates
and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2--Significant Accounting Policies:

(a)  PORTFOLIO  VALUATION:  Investments  in  securities  (including  options and
financial  futures), but  excluding most debt securities are valued at the last
sales  price  on  the securities exchange on which such securities are primarily
traded  or at the last sales price on the national securities market. Securities
not  listed  on an exchange or the national securities market, or securities for
which  there  were no transactions, are valued at the average of the most recent
bid  and  asked  prices.  Bid  price  is  used when no asked price is available.
Securities  for  which  there are no such valuations are valued at fair value as
determined  in  good  faith  under  the  direction  of  the  Board of Directors.
Investments  denominated in foreign currencies are translated to U.S. dollars at
the prevailing rates of exchange.

Most  debt  securities  are  valued  each business day by an independent pricing
service  ("Service") approved  by  the Board of Directors. Debt securities for
which  quoted bid prices are readily available and are representative of the bid
side of the market in the judgment of the Service are valued at the mean between
the  quoted  bid  prices  (as  obtained  by  the  Service  from  dealers in such
securities)  and  asked  prices  (as  calculated  by  the Service based upon its
evaluation of the market for such securities). Other debt securities are carried
at  fair  value  as  determined  by  the Service, based on methods which include
consideration  of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon,
maturity  and  type;  indications  as to values from dealers; and general market
conditions.


(b)  FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS: Each Portfolio does not isolate that portion
of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on
investments  from  the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of
securities  held.  Such  fluctuations  are  included  with  the net realized and
unrealized gain or loss on investments.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales and maturities of
short-term  securities,  sales  of  foreign currencies, currency gains or losses
realized  on  securities  transactions  and the difference between the amount of
dividends,  interest  and  foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Portfolio's
books  and  the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid.
Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value
of  assets  and liabilities other than investments in securities, resulting from
changes  in exchange rates. Such gains and losses are included with net realized
and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

(c)  SECURITIES  TRANSACTIONS AND INVESTMENT INCOME: Securities transactions are
recorded  on  a  trade  date  basis.  Realized  gain  and  loss  from securities
transactions  are  recorded  on  the  identified  cost basis. Dividend income is
recognized  on  the  ex-dividend  date  and  interest  income,  including, where
applicable,  amortization  of  discount  on  investments,  is  recognized on the
accrual basis. Under the terms of the custody agreement, each Portfolio receives
net  earnings  credits  based on available cash balances left on deposit. During
the period ended September 30, 2000, the Income Portfolio, the Growth and Income
Portfolio  and  the  Growth  Portfolio  received net earnings credits of $1,534,
$7,098  and  $11,326,  respectively.  Income  earned  under  this arrangement is
included in interest income.

The  fund  may  enter  into  repurchase  agreements with financial institutions,
deemed  to  be  creditworthy  by  the  fund's  Manager, subject to the seller's
agreement  to repurchase and the fund's agreement to resell such securities at a
mutually   agreed   upon  price.  Securities  purchased  subject  to  repurchase
agreements are deposited with the fund's custodian and, pursuant to the terms of
the  repurchase  agreement,  must have an aggregate market value greater than or
equal    to    the    repurchase    price
                                                                  The Portfolios

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

plus  accrued  interest  at all times. If the value of the underlying securities
falls  below  the  value of the repurchase price plus accrued interest, the fund
will  require  the  seller to deposit additional collateral by the next business
day. If the request for additional collateral is not met, or the seller defaults
on  its  repurchase  obligation,  the  fund  maintains  the  right  to  sell the
underlying  securities  at market value and may claim any resulting loss against
the seller.

(d)  EXPENSES:  Expenses  directly attributable to each Portfolio are charged to
that Portfolio's operations; expenses which are applicable to all Portfolios are
allocated among them on a pro rata basis.

(e) DIVIDENDS  TO SHAREHOLDERS: Dividends are recorded by each Portfolio on the
ex-dividend  date.  Dividends  from investment income-net and dividends from net
realized capital gain, with respect to each Portfolio, are normally declared and
paid  annually,  but  each  Portfolio  may make distributions on a more frequent
basis  to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). To the extent that a net realized capital gain
of a Portfolio can be offset by a capital loss carryover of that Portfolio, such
gain will not be distributed.

(f)  FEDERAL  INCOME  TAXES:  It  is the policy of each Portfolio to continue to
qualify  as a regulated investment company, if such qualification is in the best
interests  of  its  shareholders, by complying with the applicable provisions of
the  Code,  and to make distributions of taxable income sufficient to relieve it
from  substantially  all Federal income and excise taxes. For Federal income tax
purposes,  each  Portfolio  is  treated  as  a  single entity for the purpose of
determining such qualification.

NOTE 3--Bank Line of Credit:

Each Portfolio participates with other Dreyfus-managed funds in a $500 million
redemption credit facility (the "Facility") to be utilized for temporary or
emergency purposes, including the financing of redemptions. In connection
therewith, each Portfolio has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata
portion of the Facility. Interest is

charged to a Portfolio at rates based on prevailing  market rates in effect
at the time of borrowings.  During the period ended  September 30, 2000, none of
the Portfolios borrowed under the Facility.

NOTE 4--Investment Advisory Fee, Sub-Investment Advisory Fee and Other
Transactions with Affiliates:

(a) Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement (the "Agreement") with Dreyfus,
the Investment Advisory fee is computed on the value of each Portfolio's average
daily net assets and is payable monthly at the following annual rates: .60 of 1%
of the Income Portfolio and .75 of 1% of the Growth and Income Portfolio and the
Growth Portfolio.

Dreyfus  had undertaken from October 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999, that, if
the  aggregate  expenses  of  the Growth & Income Portfolio, exclusive of taxes,
brokerage  commissions,  extraordinary expenses, interest expense and commitment
fees  on borrowings, cause the expenses of its Investor Class to exceed 1.13% of
the  value  of  the average daily net assets of the Investor Class, the Growth &
Income  Portfolio  may  deduct  from the payment to be made to Dreyfus under the
Agreement,  or  Dreyfus  will bear such excess expense. No expense reimbursement
was  required  pursuant to the undertaking during the period ended September 30,
2000.

Pursuant  to  a  Sub-Investment  Advisory  Agreement  between Dreyfus and Mellon
Equity,  Dreyfus  has agreed to pay Mellon Equity a monthly sub-advisory fee for
each Portfolio, computed at the following annual rates:

                                           ANNUAL FEE AS A PERCENTAGE OF
TOTAL PORTFOLIO NET ASSETS          AVERAGE DAILY NET ASSETS OF EACH PORTFOLIO
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

0 to $600 million                                    .35 of 1%

$600 million up to $1.2 billion                      .25 of 1%

$1.2 billion up to $1.8 billion                      .20 of 1%

In excess of $1.8 billion                            .15 of 1%

(b) Under the Shareholder Services Plan, each Portfolio pays the distributor, at
an annual rate of .25 of 1% of the value of the average daily net assets of each
Portfolio's  Investor  Class  shares  for  the  provision  of
                                                                  The Portfolios

certain  services.  The services provided may include personal services relating
to  shareholder accounts, such as answering shareholder inquiries regarding each
Portfolio  and  providing reports and other information, and services related to
the  maintenance  of  shareholder accounts. The distributor may make payments to
Service  Agents  in  respect  of  these services. The distributor determines the
amounts to be paid to Service Agents.

During  the period ended September 30, 2000, each Portfolio's Investor Class was
charged the following pursuant to the Shareholder Services Plan:

Each  Portfolio  may  invest  in  financial  futures  contracts in order to gain
exposure  to or protect against changes in the market. A Portfolio is exposed to
market  risk  as  a  result  of changes in the value of the underlying financial
instruments.  Investments  in  financial futures require a portfolio to "mark to
market"  on  a daily basis, which reflects the change in the market value of the
contract  at  the  close  of  each  day's  trading. Typically, variation margin
payments  are received or made to reflect daily unrealized gains or losses. When
the  contracts are closed, a Portfolio recognizes a realized gain or loss. These
investments  require  initial  margin deposits with a custodian or broker, which
consist  of  cash  or  cash equivalents, up to approximately 10% of the contract
amount.  The  amount of these deposits is determined by the exchange or Board of
Trade  on  which the contract is traded and is subject to change. Contracts open
at September 30, 2000, are set forth in the Statements of Financial Futures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Shareholders and Board of Directors Dreyfus LifeTime Portfolios, Inc.

We  have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including
the  statements  of  investments  and  financial  futures,  of  Dreyfus LifeTime
Portfolios,  Inc.,  (comprising,  respectively, the Income Portfolio, the Growth
and Income Portfolio and the Growth Portfolio) as of September 30, 2000, and the
related  statement  of  operations  for  the  year  then ended, the statement of
changes  in  net  assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and
financial  highlights  for  each of the years indicated therein. These financial
statements  and  financial  highlights  are  the  responsibility  of  the Fund's
management.  Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an opinion on these financial
statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial statements and
financial  highlights  are  free  of  material  misstatement.  An audit includes
examining,  on  a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the  financial  statements  and  financial  highlights.  Our procedures included
verification  by examination of securities held by the custodian as of September
30,   2000  and  confirmation  of  securities  not  held  by  the  custodian  by
correspondence  with  others.  An  audit  also includes assessing the accounting
principles  used  and  significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as well as
evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In  our  opinion,  the financial statements and financial highlights referred to
above  present  fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each
of  the respective portfolios constituting Dreyfus LifeTime Portfolios, Inc., at
September 30, 2000, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the
changes  in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended,
and the financial highlights for each of the indicated years, in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
