You could have a dream that seems to take for ever but once waking up that dream was only minutes long. Is time dilation taking place? In the dream everything was moving in a normal manner and not in fast forward or slow motion.
Was 1 second in the dream a hundredth of a second in the real world?

Time flies when you're having fun. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Some experience of time is subjective. One rule of thumb for middle level managers is this -- take the time the computer programmer says the job will take, double the number, and shift up to the next unit of measure. My wife has learned to do the same with me when I estimate the time for a woodworking or home repair project.
Another rule: everything takes longer and costs more.
What happens is concept compression. It's not time dilation. The idea of a thing is understood as a whole and is somewhat eternal. Breaking the idea down to actions in time is a skill that can earn you serious money, because not that many people can do it well. The concept, by its nature, leaves out all the little details, the time consuming details. The concept assumes everything goes according to plan, and nothing ever does.

maximum aims are lots shorter than they look, because of fact they are fragments of a progression of activities extremely than a continuation. You dream in 'clips' extremely of 'finished video clips'. The sequence of activities might take hours to genuinely happen however the segments that we dream are not just about as long.

Dreaming is just that, dreaming. Thoughts move quick. Nothing deep about it.
