It all depends on what you are going to do with the data.  What you
want to do can be accomplished with 'list', but probably not
dataframes.  So what is the problem you are trying to solve?  Here is
an example of how you can create a list with the information you want:

> x <- read.table(textConnection("                 starting_time        
> Ending_time
+ session_1:     14:36:10            14:40:44
+ session_2:     14:40:47           14:41:47
+ session_3:     14:36:10            14:40:44
+ session_4:     14:40:47           14:41:47
+ session_5:     14:36:10            14:40:44
+ session_6:     14:40:47           14:41:47"), header=TRUE)
> closeAllConnections()
> x.l <- as.list(x)
> x.l$seq[1] <- list(c(4 ,3, 0 ,3 ,4 ,1, 0 ,1 ,4 ,3 ,4 ,3 ,4))
> x.l$seq[2] <- list(c(3,4,1,2))
> x.l$seq[3] <- NULL
> x.l$seq[4] <- list(matrix(0,4,4))
> x.l
$starting_time
[1] 14:36:10 14:40:47 14:36:10 14:40:47 14:36:10 14:40:47

$seq[[1]]
