- I recall reading in one of my intro psych source books that dreams take
- place in real time. They did an experiment in which people were allowed to
- enter REM for 5 or 10 minutes, and when awakened they told stories of
- corresponding lengths. The book goes on to say that dreams seem longer
- because there are little cuts and scene shifts as in the movies that let us
- know that time has passed. Somehow I was never satisfied by that
- explanation.
