Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -You dream every night for 90 minutes whether you remember it or not. Every cycle of dreaming grows in duration throughout the night. The first dream of the night may only be 3 minutes and the last dream you have before waking in the morning (provided you had a good 7 to 8 hours of sleep) can be 45-60 minutes.

Detailed explanation-2: -The length of a dream can vary; they may last for a few seconds, or approximately 20–30 minutes. People are more likely to remember the dream if they are awakened during the REM phase.

Detailed explanation-3: -Frequent, vivid dreams may be related to stress, medications, sleep disorders, or early pregnancy. While we think of sleep as a time for recharging the body, the brain is actually quite active during sleep-dreaming.

Detailed explanation-4: -Each hour in the real world would take two years and four months in the dream state.
