I once had a teacher tell me

That we only dream for a few seconds

I’ll happily disagree with that.

I’ve slept with the tv on sometimes what’s on tv seeps into my subconscious. My mind interprets the audio with feverish imagery.

While they are right and the deepest slept in truth last only a few minutes, what they don't say is our sense of time goes faster in that deep sleep.

So you're correct as well. It can seem endless.

Our sense of time in real life becomes shorter and shorter as we grow older as well.

A day to a awake baby, seems like forever.

While an awake old person just doesn't know where the whole day went 😞

Yet that dream time-sense seems to always remain the same, throughout our whole lives.
