how does that work? they try to say it takes like 2 hours to enter REM sleep where they believe is when you dream
but i woke up and my phone screen was still on (set it to 30 min before turning off)
just doesnt make sense
furthermore that dream felt like it lasted far longer than 20 mins even though usually dreams feel shorter than the time slept
anyone else? any input or responses?

I get dreams like once every several months, can't relate

Was the phone your only reference point? Maybe you hit it in your sleep and turned it back on, or something.
Also, I assume the "2 hours" thing is a general average, not a hard-set rule. Maybe you sleep weird.

How were you feeling before you slept? Any more or less comfortable than usual? Have anything on your mind before nodding off? Time feels flexible to me when I'm sleeping so it's impossible to know just how long I've been dreaming for. For me it feels longer when my brain is focusing on something or shorter when it gets bored and skip details. Kind of like reading a novel as it's being written: It might read the whole page if it's good, or just thumbs to the end whenever the brain writes itself into a corner.
