Is it possible to slow down your perception of time in a lucid dream? Example: 30 minutes of real-time, seeming like several hours in a LD? Or even days?

I think you mean time dilation. I can't give you an answer on that. Some people think it's possible, some people at this forum claim that they've experienced it. I would like to believe it, but I would like to experiment with it myself.
Here's a thread where time dilation is discussed. Rather than rehashing everything the posters stated, read it and let us know what you thought of it. :) There are many interesting arguments made.
No not exactly. You can experience multiple days in one dream but the time spent in the dream is the same. It might feel a little longer in the dream but not to the point that hours feels like years.
I agree with Dakotahnok. Caenis has shared a link, which clear all your doubts. Thanks for sharing it.
Sometimes when I recall a long dream, it seams like it was several hours long. This cannot be the case as the longest dreams only reach 45 minutes. I then look at what actually happened in the dream and realise that it could have happened very fast.
