Not exactly. Now we are getting into some Einstein stuff. Motion is dependent on time AND space. The motion of something can stay the same even if the elapsed time is different, as long as space is warped to compensate for the difference. If light travels at 186,000 m/s, how fast is the light coming off the headlight of a car traveling 30 m/s? It is still 186,000 m/s. Nothing can travel faster than that. Space and time (more commonly, spacetime) compensate for the extra boost of "speed". This augments our reality and makes it subjective, or as Einstein put it, relative. Things like gravity warp how space and time exist. If we are at the edge of a black hole, we would perceive time and motion normally. However, if we were then teleported back to earth, we would see that what we saw as a "year" was like 10,000 earth years.

This is all in our reality. Now when we compare it to dreams we are also adding our perception of space, time, and motion in the dream world. Certain actions or events in dreams can augment our perceptions. Like I quoted above, action movements (squatting) distorted how the subjects perceived time. However, the motions themselves seemed normal.

SCIENCE!
