There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?

What's wild about those dreams that last a few seconds is that they make you feel while you are in them like you have memories from the dreamworld since before the dream started, thus making them feel like they were much longer
Something, something, time dilation
Not sure exactly what you are asking, but the duration of your sleep while dreaming and how long the dream feels are unrelated. You can sleep for 15 min and have a dream that feels like 2 hours (or whatever) and vice versa, thats normal
I had a set of nightmares last night thematically related. I woke up six times inside of 3 hours and each one of the dreams felt like it was an hour easy. It was a very very long night.
Inception is the scientific documentary you're looking for.
