I can say that my longest happened during a 135 minute sleeping period, and that I would say it seemed to last maybe 10-15 minutes. Of course, I thought dreams only lasted for seconds, and I'd think that the total amount of time that it takes me to think through and relive the dream is probably the same length of time as it took to occur, if you know what I mean.
There was a study done about this. I think its in the Laberge book, exploring the world of dreaming. It found that time spent in a dream is pretty much the same as real world time. The dreams that feel like days just trick you into thinking that.

And from my 2 lucids, ive spent an amazing 25 seconds combined in them.
