   I don't there is a real conflict here. I've never had a dream which   
   seemed to last a week, but I do remember a vivid, lucid dream in which I   
   climbed a familiar mountain, deliberately choosing to walk not fly. This   
   would have taken three hours in reality, and which seemed to take   
   roughly that long in the dream. But what I could actually remember when   
   awake was not three hours of experience, but more like edited highlights   
   of climbing a mountain. More like three minutes. Within the edited   
   highlights, I think time was very likely about 1:1, but there were big   
   gaps. Concertina'd time?
