What is the duration of a dream???

It feels like we dream all night long, or almost all the night . I heared someone that dreams last just 5 seconds , but if you know from a sure source, i`ll belive you . I`m a little upset when i get up, and my dream wasn`t finished , when i`m up in the middle of something so nice . Some of the people say that if they will go to sleep immediatly they can continue from where they were .

I don't know what scientists had found recently, but as far as I remember, I read in a magasine that some researches in the 1970s asserted that a dream takes about as long to occur as it takes to explain it in words. If you had time, maybe you will like to read this very detailed and well doccumented article about dreams: http://www.skepdic.com/dreams.html

No actually... When you sleep for about 8-9 hours, only 3-5 hours of it you are in a "deep sleep" when you see the dreams. This is what I have read in a Science magazine, and it is what I will believe until someone else proves it wrong... I don't believe that our dreams last only for 96 seconds, because that sounds just so ridiculous... I don't want to offend anyone. but it is my honest opinion. Btw...
