You wake up and you walk down the stairs, and you are already dressed. You walk out the front door and get into your car, then out of an elevator and your at work. You sit down at your desk, but stop to chat with your friend, "Hey how are you doing? want to go rock climbing tomorrow?" They say sure, so you get up and walk out the door and your at a mountain and you start rock climbing. You get to the top and then lay down to rest in your bed and say to yourself, "It sure been an exciting two days." In reality, that is about 30 seconds of dream time.
You remember going to work, but you don't remember hitting any lights, or passing any cars, or what you listened to on the radio, because none of it happened. That is how dreams can seem to last a long time, when they really don't. It is like watching a movie. Most movies cover more than 2 hours, yet the story of them still make sense and it is almost like you see into days or months of a persons life.
